My friends had no clue when I brought this up, so I'm turning to the forum. 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.
The big mainstream options are fine for some things but they're not always built for more specific needs. Niche platforms tend to have better quality members even if the total numbers are smaller.
- Check if profiles show a last-active timestamp before engaging
- Turn off auto-renew immediately after any paid sign-up
- See if the platform has an actual support channel, not just a FAQ bot
- Use a dedicated email address when signing up to contain spam
