While the ones people keep recommending look similar, the profile prompt differs somewhat, though it settles down after a while. The search filter setup and the read receipt setting pull in opposite directions, though it settles down after a while. My advice would be to use a recent photo with your face clear and then check the free tier limits before you commit, and that alone put me off. Realistically, I'd skip anything asking for a card number to read messages rather than report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them, since it saves a lot of wasted evenings.

I stuck with the regional platforms throughout most of last year, and the honest result was that the search filter setup mattered a fair bit most. Despite the fact that people disagree here, the step that matters most is to give it a full week before judging: it filters out the time wasters fast. In my experience, the bigger platforms have dropped the feature everyone used, though it depends heavily on where you live. Worth saying that the decision to move to a proper conversation quickly did noticeably more for me than switching platform, so treat the reviews with caution.
