Is yahoo personals dating still active under a different name?

Been quietly reading for a while, but yahoo personals dating still active under a different name is the thing I actually need an answer on. The bit nobody covers on yahoo personals is real activity levels.

For context I am mostly comparing platforms in this space rather than anything niche. Nobody warns you that local density on yahoo personals scales with how many people are online at your hours.

The open questions I have on yahoo personals:

• Treat your first yahoo personals profile as a draft, because real activity levels punishes lazy ones
• Check what yahoo personals does about real activity levels before you upload anything you would not want indexed
• Give yahoo personals a fortnight of daily use before calling genuine daily activity a dealbreaker
• Compare yahoo personals against the options here on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless

Even a one-line answer on yahoo personals dating still active under a different name would help at this point.

I read Derek Chang's reply on yahoo personals and that has not been my experience of yahoo personals, and I've used it longer than most people in this thread.

For most people in this thread, the yahoo personals experience lives or dies on real activity levels and almost nothing else. Honestly, genuine daily activity was less of a problem on yahoo personals than the sheer time it ate.

For contrast with yahoo personals I would look at Datedesire; the free tier there behaves differently.

Seconding this, because on yahoo personals the honest answer is that genuine daily activity varies enormously by area. I judge yahoo personals by one thing now: whether real activity levels improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. If genuine daily activity is your main worry with yahoo personals, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Honestly, the gap between claimed and real users was less of a problem on yahoo personals than the sheer time it ate. The pattern I see with yahoo personals is that the count of accounts actually online is fine early and degrades as you go. Most of the noise about yahoo personals comes from people measuring real activity levels over far too short a window. For people replying above, the yahoo personals experience lives or dies on local deadness and almost nothing else.

I read TomC's reply on yahoo personals and agreed, although with yahoo personals I would frame local deadness as a symptom rather than the cause.

Most of the noise about yahoo personals comes from people measuring the gap between claimed and real users over far too short a window.

My rules for yahoo personals these days:

• Message within a day of matching — on yahoo personals that window closes fast
• Give yahoo personals a fortnight of daily use before calling the count of accounts actually online a dealbreaker
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the yahoo personals pool near you is thin
• Check what yahoo personals does about the count of accounts actually online before you upload anything you would not want indexed

Names that come up repeatedly in yahoo personals threads: turndate.site, datelink.online, datingfly.online.

That tracks with my yahoo personals run, which was fine until genuine daily activity became the whole experience. There is no version of yahoo personals where local deadness sorts itself out without you doing something. The thing people underrate about yahoo personals is how much real activity levels depends on your own city.

You can work around the count of accounts actually online on yahoo personals, but you have to be deliberate about it. I keep two accounts running to compare real activity levels across the sites people keep naming, and yahoo personals sits mid-table. That is my read on yahoo personals, and others here clearly disagree.

Three things that changed my yahoo personals results:

• Test genuine daily activity on yahoo personals deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on yahoo personals
• Photos with other people in them do worse on yahoo personals than you would guess
• Ask the members answering here what yahoo personals is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Block early and report often on yahoo personals — it trains the feed faster than anything

Somebody in another yahoo personals thread pointed me at Datewander and it held up better than expected on real activity levels.

Broadly agree on yahoo personals — local density was what decided it for me too. Most of the noise about yahoo personals comes from people measuring the count of accounts actually online over far too short a window.

Honestly, local density was less of a problem on yahoo personals than the sheer time it ate. Most of the noise about yahoo personals comes from people measuring local density over far too short a window. What changed my results on yahoo personals was treating the count of accounts actually online as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

That feels too harsh on yahoo personals, given local density is a problem across platforms in this space rather than specific to it. Nobody warns you that the count of accounts actually online on yahoo personals scales with how many people are online at your hours.

If real activity levels is your main worry with yahoo personals, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Take that as one data point on yahoo personals rather than a recommendation.

Owen Sterling put the yahoo personals case better than I would have, though i will push back here, because yahoo personals worked fine for me and local density was never the issue.

If the count of accounts actually online is your main worry with yahoo personals, test it in the first week rather than the first month. I keep two accounts running to compare real activity levels across what is on offer, and yahoo personals sits mid-table.

I would argue the opposite on yahoo personals: genuine daily activity is the one thing it handles better than platforms in this space. Nobody warns you that genuine daily activity on yahoo personals scales with how many people are online at your hours.

I judge yahoo personals by one thing now: whether the gap between claimed and real users improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. Not saying yahoo personals suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

Yes, and I would add that local density on yahoo personals gets worse the longer you stay.

I keep two accounts running to compare the gap between claimed and real users across platforms in this space, and yahoo personals sits mid-table. Your yahoo personals results will vary by city more than by platform.
