Dropping this question here because I keep getting useless answers everywhere else: Does the www plenty of fish com site still offer free messaging?
I've done the standard research — review sites, Reddit, app store pages — and none of it gives me a clear current picture, at least in my experience. In my experience, review sites are pay-to-play, Reddit threads get dominated by a few loud voices, and app store reviews are heavily managed, though others in this thread disagree. The only reliable signal I've found is community experience from people who are actually using these things, which is not a universal experience.
Specifically curious about:
- As far as I can tell, whether the experience has changed significantly in the last 12 months
- Anecdotally, how the free tier compares to what you actually need to function on the platform
- Realistically, whether the user base is real or inflated with bots and dead accounts
- In practice, any privacy or billing gotchas I should know before signing up
Going by the last year, real firsthand experience is worth a hundred review articles at this point, going by the last few months.
