Started digging into still use the fb dating app or is it full of and immediately hit the same wall everyone describes with hollow accounts. Ran still use the fb dating app or is it full of alongside the major apps for in the last stretch — same effort on both, meaningfully different outcome. The free-tier experience is a reasonable default, but the bot problem is the thing that will decide whether you stay. What I found with that flavour of site is that the algorithm favours new accounts for about a week — broadly that changes how you use it.

  • One I wish I had done sooner: turn off read receipts and see what changes
  • Takes five minutes: message five people and count the replies twice, a fortnight apart
  • One I wish I had done sooner: read the billing page before you tap anything and write down what you see
  • Before you pay: set your radius wider than feels sensible before you commit

Curious if anyone has cracked fake profiles on still use the fb dating app or is it full of without paying for it. Other names that come up: datingfly.online — check the billing page on any of them before signing up.

Layla Perkins — that hasn't matched my experience. Nobody warns most people asking this that still use the fb dating app or is it full of needs a fortnight before the results mean anything.

  • If nothing else: message five people and count the replies — it costs nothing

@Logan_837 — that hasn't matched my experience. I'd call still use the fb dating app or is it full of worse than the reviews suggest, but I'm only one sample. Broadly, still use the fb dating app or is it full of is priced like a premium product and behaves like a free one — the rest is preference. Do not judge this one on week one — the free tier does most of what you need, and nothing else moved the needle as much.

@HenryB — broadly with you, with one caveat: for anyone weighing up still use the fb dating app or is it full of — hollow accounts is real, but it is manageable if you set your radius wider than feels sensible. The advice I would give the typical user about still use the fb dating app or is it full of is unglamorous: test it for a week before committing, then reassess. I stopped worrying about hollow accounts on still use the fb dating app or is it full of once I realised the first message matters less than the timing. Still use the fb dating app or is it full of rewards patience more than strategy, though it depends heavily on where you are, and nothing else moved the needle as much.

  • Worth doing early: read the billing page before you tap anything before you judge the pool
  • First thing: set your radius wider than feels sensible before you judge the pool
  • Low effort, high signal: screenshot the pricing before you agree to anything and compare against a second app
