My friends had no clue when I brought this up, so I'm turning to the forum. 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.
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.
- Read third-party reviews before entering any payment information
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
