Going to ask this directly since the indirect route has been useless: Are dating chatting apps more effective than traditional swipe apps?
What I've found through normal research is basically useless for making an actual decision, especially when it comes to dating chatting apps more. Broadly speaking, the top-ranked content is all affiliate-driven, for whatever that is worth. The app store reviews are heavily managed, especially around dating chatting apps more. Speaking generally, Reddit threads are better but still often dominated by a handful of power users with specific experiences that may not generalize.
Community forums like this one tend to have more actual diversity of experience, which is exactly what I need, depending on which app you are on. Not one definitive answer — a range of experiences that helps me calibrate my own expectations going in, particularly for dating chatting apps more.
Personally, thanks in advance for anything real, assuming your filters are sensible. In my case, happy to share back once I've spent more time testing, though not everyone here agrees.
