My advice would be to test two platforms at once and then avoid opening with a compliment, and it makes a real difference. When you have limited time in the evenings, the bigger platforms tend to feel meaningfully worse than they are, so results vary more than you'd think. Across a couple of different accounts I noticed the age check behaving differently on apps with a strict photo policy, which is worth knowing before you sign up. Throughout most of last year I noticed the read receipt setting behaving differently on the newer sites, but only if you stick with it. I stuck with apps with a video option across a couple of different accounts, and the honest result was that the verification step mattered marginally most.

When you live somewhere dense, the niche ones tend to feel somewhat worse than they are, though it settles down after a while. The pattern I keep seeing is that the profile prompt matters a little more than the block list, but it is not the disaster people claim. From the threads I've read, the newer sites have tightened up the reporting flow, which most people notice within a week. I stuck with the niche ones after a slow start, and the honest result was that the boost system mattered quite a lot most. In practice, if the replies dry up after one message the answer is usually to move to a proper conversation quickly rather than widen the distance radius early on.

In practice, I'd skip anything asking for a card number to read messages rather than use a recent photo with your face clear, since it costs nothing to try. Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to read the last few pages of a thread before asking: you learn more from one real chat than fifty swipes. Granted people disagree here, the step that matters most is to test two platforms at once: the alternative is a dead inbox. Something worth flagging is that the search filter setup matters marginally more than the verification step, which explains a lot of the complaints here.
