I did some digging before posting but couldn't find anything recent enough to be useful. Hoping this community has some current experience to share.
Dating platforms have evolved a lot but the fundamentals haven't changed much. The gap between a good experience and a frustrating one usually comes down to a few specific factors that most people overlook when they're just trying to get started quickly.
Messaging first versus waiting to receive messages produces measurably different results on most platforms.
The specific things I'm trying to nail down:
- Difference between free and paid features in practice
- Mobile app quality and reliability
- Support response time
- How active the moderation team actually is
Would really appreciate hearing from people who have actually used these and can give honest feedback rather than just repeating what the marketing says.
