Long-time lurker, first post, and it's about discord link for the fitblonde007 fan club. Where discord link falls down for me is how the matching logic appears to work once you are past sign-up.
My problem with every answer on discord link is that the last honest write-up is two years old. Two weeks in, what the free tier really covers in practice is what actually mattered for discord link.
Where I'd start with discord link, in order:
- Check how long it takes before the first upgrade prompt lands before you upload a second photo
- Sanity-check what share of the layout is advertising twice, a week apart
- Watch how the search behaves outside the default radius before you upload a second photo
- Track how quickly a scripted account gives itself away with the age filter set narrow
- Check whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out in your own city rather than the default radius
If you gave up on discord link, what did the first week look like? Highlights and disappointments all worth hearing. Firsthand accounts are worth more than any review site.
