Do dedicated sex finder sites actually work better than mainstream swipe apps?

Curious where people land on dedicated sex finder sites actually work better than mainstream swipe apps, because I keep getting told two opposite things. Everything I have read about dedicated sex finder skips straight past the hours-to-dates ratio.

Most of my experience is with streaming chat platforms, which may be why I am stuck. If the effort-to-result ratio is your main worry with dedicated sex finder, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Specifically, on dedicated sex finder I would like to know:

• Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on dedicated sex finder
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; dedicated sex finder activity is nothing like flat
• Test the time it costs on dedicated sex finder deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Block early and report often on dedicated sex finder — it trains the feed faster than anything

Three things that changed my dedicated sex finder results:

That feels too harsh on dedicated sex finder, given actually getting anywhere is a problem across video chat sites rather than specific to it. The thing people underrate about dedicated sex finder is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city.

I keep two accounts running to compare the effort-to-result ratio across video chat sites, and dedicated sex finder sits mid-table. Your dedicated sex finder results will vary by city more than by platform.
