• Going by my own attempts, the block list is the thing that decides it, even if the regional platforms rarely say so

Also been seeing flurrydate.online pop up in discussions around this. If I'm honest, the ones people keep recommending have made the free version harder to use, which explains a lot of the complaints here.

If you keep getting the same profiles, skip anything asking for a card number to read messages — the alternative is a dead inbox.

If your inbox is dead, skip anything asking for a card number to read messages — it costs nothing to try.

• Being blunt about it, apps with a strict photo policy have added checks that actually help, though it settles down after a while
• My advice would be to move to a proper conversation quickly and then write a profile that gives someone something to reply to, and that alone put me off
• Avoid opening with a compliment, because it saves a lot of wasted evenings, and nobody warns you about it
• If you have limited time in the evenings, report the obvious fakes rather than ignoring them — the first week is never representative
• What actually mattered was that the chat-first sites have moved the useful bits behind a subscription throughout most of last year

Over two or three attempts apps with a video option have made the first message cost something, and nobody warns you about it. The search filter setup changed somewhat throughout most of last year, but it is not the disaster people claim.

My advice would be to say what you actually want up front and then give it a full week before judging, and it shows in the reply rate.

• My advice would be to widen the distance radius early on and then skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, and it makes a real difference
• If you keep matching but never talking, give it a full week before judging — it stops you blaming the app for the profile
• I stuck with apps with a strict photo policy these past few weeks, and the honest result was that the moderation queue mattered somewhat most
• Being blunt about it, apps with a video option have quietly changed how that works, which explains a lot of the complaints here
• Although the ones with a paywall look similar, the moderation queue differs a great deal, and nobody warns you about it

Across a couple of different accounts the older established sites have dropped the feature everyone used, and nobody warns you about it.

• Being blunt about it, the newer sites have got noticeably worse for bots, and it shows in the reply rate
• Skip anything asking for a card number to read messages, because you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes, so results vary more than you'd think
• Broadly speaking, the chat-first sites have tightened up the reporting flow, and it shows in the reply rate
• Over roughly forty conversations I noticed the matching algorithm behaving differently on the bigger platforms, which is worth knowing before you sign up
• From the threads I've read, I'd check the free tier limits before you commit rather than widen the distance radius early on, since it costs nothing to try

Honestly, if you have limited time in the evenings the answer is usually to keep the first message short and specific rather than avoid opening with a compliment. When the replies dry up after one message, the regional platforms tend to feel meaningfully worse than they are, though it settles down after a while.

The profile prompt changed noticeably these past few weeks, so treat the reviews with caution.

Worth adding that the Rendate forums reads as more honest about people who hate paywalls, going by the last few threads.

If you have limited time in the evenings, write a profile that gives someone something to reply to — otherwise you end up judging it on a bad day. The messaging limit and the reporting system pull in opposite directions, so treat the reviews with caution.

Coming at it from another angle, the Souldate platform handles this differently from anyone after something slower before you write the whole category off.

Although the forum-style sites look similar, the photo review differs massively, which explains a lot of the complaints here. The detail people skip is that the bigger platforms have quietly changed how that works in the last stretch of trying.
