Tried a few things on my own without much luck. Time to ask people who actually know. My biggest concern is wasting time on platforms that look active but are full of stale profiles or bots. I've hit that wall multiple times and it gets old fast.
Privacy is a real concern for me here. I don't want to sign up somewhere that will sell my data or expose my activity to people I know.
- Test with a basic profile for a few days before committing effort
- Confirm the platform has real support, not just a chatbot FAQ
- Disable auto-renew immediately after any paid signup
- Check whether profiles display a last-active timestamp
- Always use a dedicated email address when signing up
