Long-time lurker, finally posting because I genuinely want honest opinions on this. Privacy matters a lot to me in this area. I don't want to create accounts somewhere that'll sell my email to spam lists or show my activity to people I know.
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.
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
