Going to disagree on one point — I've been thinking about this for a bit: is the new camsoda c9m extension safe to download? Two weeks in, my read on new camsoda c9m extension was that the quiet apps are sometimes quiet for a reason, sometimes not.
Where it fell apart for me was simple: every useful feature sits behind an upgrade prompt. Where new camsoda c9m extension tends to come apart is when the app pushes boosts instead of showing you new people.
Privacy is another thing I always think about. I'm careful about what info I share publicly versus what I keep to DMs, and I always use a secondary email when signing up for anything new.
One platform I came across recently was Souldate here — seemed worth looking into based on what others in similar threads have said.
Alright, breaking this down from my own experience:
The major mainstream apps (AdultFriendFinder, OkCupid, Hinge) are worth trying first just for volume, but don't expect much without a premium upgrade
Smaller, interest-specific platforms tend to have more engaged users even if the raw numbers are lower
Verification matters — avoid anything that lets totally anonymous accounts interact without any check
Profile quality is underrated. Most people seriously undersell themselves with bad photos or vague bios
Timing matters too — engagement spikes on weekends and Sunday evenings based on everything I've seen
On new camsoda c9m extension, I gave Datelink — free to join a fortnight. Activity is patchy by region but decent where it's decent.

Plenty of people here will have had a different run. Over the last year or so, with new camsoda c9m extension I'd weight how fast you filter and block over anything the marketing page leads with.

There's a real split between people who swear by the big mainstream apps and those who've had better luck with smaller or niche platforms. I'm honestly in the second camp at this point. The big ones are flooded, and unless you're in a major metro, your match rate drops fast. Worth exploring what has to offer if you haven't already. Specifically, Flurrydate here has been mentioned a few times as a solid alternative.
The thing that decided new camsoda c9m extension for me was how the app ranks free accounts — everything else was noise.
