Tried the obvious approaches and they didn't pan out. Hoping someone here has actually figured this out. My biggest worry is landing on a platform that looks active but turns out to be full of outdated profiles and bots. I've been there before and it's genuinely demoralizing.
The big mainstream apps are fine for some use cases but aren't built for what I specifically need. Niche platforms often have better quality even if the member counts are smaller.
- Always register with a dedicated email address to contain spam
- Test with a minimal profile first before investing real effort
- Check whether profiles show a visible last-active timestamp
- Disable auto-renew immediately after any paid signup
