My friend brought this up and I had no idea how to answer so figured I'd ask the people who would know.
Safety is always my first concern with anything like this. I've heard horror stories about fake profiles, billing scams, and data issues so I do a lot of research before I try anything new. Would love to hear from people who've actually vetted some of these options.
The paywall issue is getting ridiculous. You sign up for free, get excited when someone messages you, and then you hit a wall and have to pay just to read it. I want to know if there are any that genuinely let you connect without the bait and switch.
Appreciate any honest answers. Happy to share more details about my situation if it helps narrow things down.
