This question came up and I realized I had no idea what the real answer was. 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.
- Read third-party reviews before entering any payment information
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
