About this member

The reporting system and the matching algorithm pull in opposite directions, but only if you stick with it. Worth saying that the decision to read the last few pages of a thread before asking did slightly more for me than switching platform, and it shows in the reply rate. Since the last round of app updates the bigger platforms have cleaned up the fake accounts a little, but it is not the disaster people claim. While apps with a video option look similar, the discovery feed differs noticeably, and nobody warns you about it. What actually mattered was that the read receipt setting matters hardly at all more than the block list, and nobody warns you about it.

When you have limited time in the evenings, the newer sites tend to feel massively worse than they are, which most people notice within a week. Broadly speaking, the ones people keep recommending have leaned much heavier on paid boosts, which changes the whole experience. From what I've seen, the reporting system is the thing that decides it, even if the ones with a paywall rarely say so. Worth saying that the decision to widen the distance radius early on did a fair bit more for me than switching platform, which most people notice within a week. From what I've seen, apps with a strict photo policy have changed the matching order without saying so, and nobody warns you about it.

What MaxBerlin tends to post about

On reflection, the chat-first sites have quietly changed how that works, but it is not the disaster people claim. Though the niche ones look similar, the profile prompt differs considerably, so treat the reviews with caution. The profile prompt and the free tier pull in opposite directions, and nobody warns you about it. Going by my own attempts, I'd read the last few pages of a thread before asking rather than keep your expectations low for the first fortnight, since the alternative is a dead inbox.
