Couldn't find a reliable answer searching around, so hoping real users can help here. 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.
The big mainstream options are fine for some things but they're not always built for more specific needs. Niche platforms tend to have better quality members even if the total numbers are smaller.
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
- Read third-party reviews before entering any payment information
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
- Turn off auto-renew immediately after any paid sign-up
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
