Genuinely curious what people with actual experience think about this topic. I've been burned before by platforms that seem free upfront but lock every useful feature behind a paywall. I just want to know what's actually worth trying.
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
- Read third-party reviews before entering any payment information
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
