Been doing a lot of research on this topic and honestly the info online is all over the place.
I've tried a few things already with mixed results. Getting ghosted, hitting paywalls, running into obvious bots — it gets old fast.
There's a lot of conflicting info out there. Some people swear by paid sites, others say free options work just as well if you know how to use them.
- Read the terms of service before subscribing
- Reverse image search profile pictures to check for fakes
- Avoid sites that ask for payment info before you can browse
- Check if profiles have linked social accounts
- Use a dedicated email address you don't mind sharing
Any recommendations or warnings from personal experience would be really helpful.
One I've been hearing about lately is Flamedate — curious if anyone here has used it.
