Genuinely curious what people with actual experience think about this topic. Privacy matters a lot to me in this area. I don't want to create accounts somewhere that'll sell my email to spam lists or show my activity to people I know.
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.
- Test the platform with a basic profile before investing real effort
- Read third-party reviews before entering any payment information
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
- Turn off auto-renew immediately after any paid sign-up
