Couldn't find a reliable answer searching around, so hoping real users can help here. My main concern is wasting time on platforms that look active but turn out to be full of bots or completely inactive profiles. I've had that experience a few times now and it gets old fast.
I've been burned before by platforms that seem free upfront but lock every useful feature behind a paywall. I just want to know what's actually worth trying.
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
- Turn off auto-renew immediately after any paid sign-up
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
