Couldn't find a reliable answer searching around, so hoping real users can help here. My main concern is wasting time on platforms that look active but turn out to be full of bots or completely inactive profiles. I've had that experience a few times now and it gets old fast.
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
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
