I've asked a few people I know and nobody seems to know the answer, so turning to the forum. The big mainstream apps are fine for some use cases but aren't built for what I specifically need. Niche platforms often have better quality even if the member counts are smaller.
My biggest worry is landing on a platform that looks active but turns out to be full of outdated profiles and bots. I've been there before and it's genuinely demoralizing.
- Confirm the platform has real human support, not just a FAQ bot
- Read third-party reviews before entering payment details
- Always register with a dedicated email address to contain spam
- Check whether profiles show a visible last-active timestamp
