I've used these platforms on and off for about a year and the results were mixed.
The thing that kept me on these platforms was whether profiles felt written by real people.
What I wish someone had told me about these platforms: check what the free tier actually includes before investing time.
What I wish someone had told me about these platforms: screenshot anything that looks like a scam and report it.
Worth flagging with these platforms — some sites make deleting an account deliberately awkward.
Whether these platforms works comes down to whether you are in a commuter town or a city more than anything the marketing mentions.
Judging these platforms without knowing whether your region got the app early or late is close to meaningless.
That is where I have landed on streams from, at least for now.
Not everyone will agree but EZHookups — ezhookups.online has been the steadier one for me this year.
