Interesting, Kayla, because I found the opposite. two people can have opposite results with active platonic purely because of whether it gets out of your way. The honest tradeoff with active platonic is the caution people forget against convenience.
The part people underrate about active platonic is the privacy side.
You cannot really talk about active platonic without talking about the learning curve. In practice, active platonic lives or dies on the interface side.
Anyone got a counterexample on active platonic? Anyway, that is my read on most active platonic dating sites.
