After enough frustrating trial and error, I'm finally just asking people who've been through this. The mainstream apps cover some needs but they're not really built for what I'm specifically looking for. Niche platforms tend to have better quality even with smaller member counts.
- Check whether profiles display a visible last-active timestamp before engaging
- Disable auto-renew the moment you complete any paid signup
- Test with a minimal profile for a few days before investing real effort
- Verify the platform has real human support available, not just a FAQ chatbot
