So I finally decided to ask the community because I couldn't find a straight answer anywhere. My main concern is getting burned by sketchy platforms. I've seen too many people complain about surprise charges and profiles that are clearly bots. At this point I just want something that works without making me feel like I'm being scammed.
Privacy is a huge deal for me. I don't want my face plastered somewhere I didn't agree to, and I definitely don't want my email or payment info sold to some third-party list. Anyone who's found a trustworthy platform, I'd love to hear about it.
- Check if the platform has real ID or email verification
- Use a throwaway email when registering to protect your inbox
- Start on the free tier to test member quality before upgrading
