Long-time lurker, finally posting because I genuinely want honest opinions on this. 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.
- Turn off auto-renew immediately after any paid sign-up
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
