The daily match cap changed meaningfully across a couple of different accounts, and nobody warns you about it. When your inbox is dead, the bigger platforms tend to feel considerably worse than they are, though it depends heavily on where you live. From what I've seen, I'd test two platforms at once rather than avoid opening with a compliment, since most complaints trace back to that one thing. Even if people disagree here, the step that matters most is to report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them: most complaints trace back to that one thing.

When you have limited time in the evenings, the newer sites tend to feel massively worse than they are, which is worth knowing before you sign up. My advice would be to skip anything asking for a card number to read messages and then move to a proper conversation quickly, which explains a lot of the complaints here. What surprised me was that the block list matters a little more than the free tier, which explains a lot of the complaints here. The awkward truth is that the older established sites have made the free version harder to use in the last stretch of trying.

Nothing sits behind a paywall for as long as you use it so trying it costs you an evening at most. Ask a real question then suggest a day — it works better than it sounds.
