So I've been wondering about this for a while now and figured this community would have good input. The question is: does anyone remember freeones cam and what replaced it.

Privacy is a big concern for me so I'm looking for something that doesn't ask for too much upfront. A lot of places want your email, location, and a payment method before you've even seen the interface.

Here's what I'm specifically looking for:

  • No fake profiles or bots
  • Free tier that's actually usable
  • Works on mobile
  • Doesn't spam your email
  • Has a block feature

Thanks in advance — even a short answer is helpful.

Solid question. The landscape changes so fast it's hard to keep up.

Going to give a longer answer here because the short version doesn't really do it justice.

Support quality varies massively. Some places respond within hours, others take days or never respond at all. That alone tells you a lot about how seriously they take their users.

A few things that have helped me:

  • Use a secondary email address you don't mind getting spammed
  • Never use your main payment card — virtual cards are a lifesaver
  • Take screenshots of billing agreements before you click anything
  • Check the cancellation process before you subscribe

Take what's useful and leave the rest. Everyone's situation is a little different.

Great question and one I've thought about a lot. Let me break it down based on what I've seen.

Currently using Flurrydate as my main go-to and it's been solid for the last few months. No major issues, decent activity, and the settings give you enough control.

This comes up a lot and I think the answer depends on a few factors. The mainstream apps like Tinder, OkCupid, and Hinge are okay for general dating but not always the best for specific needs. Take it with a grain of salt but that's been my experience.

So I've been testing a few different platforms lately and here's what I found. Just my two cents — your experience may vary.
