Did a bunch of research and still feel like I'm going in circles. Figured I'd ask here. 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.
There's a lot of affiliate noise making real reviews hard to find. I want actual user experience, not someone who gets a commission when you sign up.
- Read third-party reviews before entering any payment information
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
