How long has badmicaela1 been streaming on the new platform?

Putting long has badmicaela1 been streaming on the new platform to the group. Two weeks in, how quickly the fake accounts surface at the times you actually log in is what actually mattered for long badmicaela1.

What I keep running into with long is that the last honest write-up is two years old, so I would rather ask people than read another list. The only metric I trust with long badmicaela1 is what privacy controls exist after the first week.

The quick sanity pass I run on long badmicaela1 before committing:

• Look at how many profiles carry more than two photos on the first evening, not the first month
• Check what share of the layout is advertising using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Sanity-check whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out twice, a week apart
• Sanity-check how the feed changes when you narrow the age range against one platform you already trust

For anyone still using long, what would you do differently? The good, the bad and the boring all fine here. Honest answers matter more than star ratings.

@Julian I had the opposite result with long badmicaela1, so take both our takes with salt. My rule with long badmicaela1: what the reporting tools actually do outside the big cities first, everything else second. A friend nudged me toward Rendate in particular and it was not a waste.

Unpopular view, maybe: long did roughly what I expected, no more. You can ignore most of the marketing around long badmicaela1 and just check what the reply rate looks like after the first week. Worth a look at what Datewander is doing if you want a second data point.

What nobody mentions about long badmicaela1 is how fast it loads on a bad connection once you are past sign-up.

That's where I've landed on long and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

Going against the thread here: there is a version of long that works, and it is not the default one. Where long badmicaela1 falls down for me is how quickly a new profile gets noticed.
