This came up in conversation with a friend and neither of us really knew the answer. 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.
I've tried a couple of the big names but ended up disappointed by the member quality. Either the profiles were clearly inactive for years, or I kept running into bots asking me to click some link. Super frustrating.
- Check if the platform has real ID or email verification
- Look for active profiles with recent login timestamps
- Read third-party reviews before entering payment info
- Use a throwaway email when registering to protect your inbox
