• I stuck with sites that skip verification over roughly forty conversations, and the honest result was that the age check mattered massively most
• Being blunt about it, the forum-style sites have started throttling messages, which changes the whole experience

Also been seeing datescout.site pop up in discussions around this. The boost system changed a fair bit over roughly forty conversations, but only if you stick with it.

• I stuck with the swipe-based apps these past few weeks, and the honest result was that the verification step mattered massively most
• To be fair, I'd report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them rather than say what you actually want up front, since it costs nothing to try
