Been at this two months now, after moving to a new city, and most of what I had read did not hold up.
The bit that keeps catching me out is that on apps that don't charge, the messaging limit buries you the moment you stop checking daily.
When deciding where to spend the effort is the issue, how specific you're about what you want does more for whether it feels worth the time than which tier you're on, though I'd want more than my own experience before calling it a rule.
Where I would value another read, particularly for people without a niche:
- Is that a regional thing once you factor in deciding where to spend the effort?
- Does that change much across apps that do not charge?
- Is that a regional thing where deciding where to spend the effort is concerned?
- Has that changed since the last update across apps that do not charge?
The one change that worked was reading profiles properly before swiping — it was the only change that showed up in the numbers on apps that don't charge.
