I've been going back and forth on this for a while and figured I'd just ask here. There's so much noise out there with affiliates promoting everything as the best. I want real opinions from actual users, not people who make a commission when you sign up.
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.
- Read third-party reviews before entering payment info
- Look for active profiles with recent login timestamps
- Start on the free tier to test member quality before upgrading
- Check if the platform has real ID or email verification
- Use a throwaway email when registering to protect your inbox
