Dropping this question here because I keep getting useless answers everywhere else: Where can I find unbiased best dating website reviews?
I've done the standard research — review sites, Reddit, app store pages — and none of it gives me a clear current picture, which matters a lot for free dating and apps. Broadly speaking, review sites are pay-to-play, Reddit threads get dominated by a few loud voices, and app store reviews are heavily managed, though it varies by region. The only reliable signal I've found is community experience from people who are actually using these things, though I would not bet the house on it.
Specifically curious about:
- Speaking generally, whether the experience has changed significantly in the last 12 months
- Speaking generally, how the free tier compares to what you actually need to function on the platform
- Personally, whether the user base is real or inflated with bots and dead accounts
- Anecdotally, any privacy or billing gotchas I should know before signing up
Honestly, real firsthand experience is worth a hundred review articles at this point, though not everyone here agrees.
