Is the eharmony premium membership worth the high cost?

Been quietly reading for a while, but the eharmony premium membership worth the high cost is the thing I actually need an answer on. I do not need a feature list on eharmony premium membership — I need to know about the pay-to-see-likes trick.

I have tried a few options across mainstream platforms already and none of them stuck. I judge eharmony premium membership by one thing now: whether the trial that quietly renews improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

The open questions I have on eharmony premium membership:

• Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — eharmony premium membership rewards it
• Do not pay to fix the upgrade nag on eharmony premium membership; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Screenshot anything odd on eharmony premium membership before you report it — locked messaging claims need evidence
• Test the upgrade nag on eharmony premium membership deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves

Any first-hand experience with the eharmony premium membership worth the high cost is welcome, good or bad.
