Where is the best place to post free gay personals anonymously?

I have been going round in circles on the best place to post free gay personals anonymously and could use some real experience. I do not need a feature list on anonymously — I need to know about a free tier that is not free.

For context I am mostly comparing the options here rather than anything niche. If locked messaging is your main worry with anonymously, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

What would actually help me judge anonymously:

• Do not move off anonymously into private messaging until the pay-to-see-likes trick looks handled
• Compare anonymously against platforms in this space on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Check what anonymously does about the paywall before you upload anything you would not want indexed

Tell me what actually happened with the best place to post free gay personals anonymously rather than what should happen.

Not my read at all: for queer members, anonymously was the only thing that produced anything.

The pattern I see with anonymously is that the paywall is fine early and degrades as you go.

Agreed, although with anonymously I would frame the upgrade nag as a symptom rather than the cause. There is no version of anonymously where surprise billing sorts itself out without you doing something.

Most of the noise about anonymously comes from people measuring the upgrade nag over far too short a window. Not saying anonymously suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

The other one I would try before giving up on anonymously is Rendate.

@Ben1989 makes a fair point about anonymously, but reading this back, my anonymously notes say almost the same thing about the pay-to-see-likes trick.

If the point where it starts charging is your main worry with anonymously, test it in the first week rather than the first month. For people outside the straight default, the anonymously experience lives or dies on locked messaging and almost nothing else.

What worked for me on anonymously:

• Turn off read receipts on anonymously if surprise billing is making you anxious about response times
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the anonymously pool near you is thin
• Run anonymously beside one other option so you have a baseline for locked messaging
• Give anonymously a fortnight of daily use before calling the paywall a dealbreaker
• Treat your first anonymously profile as a draft, because the paywall punishes lazy ones

For completeness on anonymously, datebound.site, rendate.site get mentioned a lot too.

That has not been my experience of anonymously, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. The thing people underrate about anonymously is how much the point where it starts charging depends on your own city.

I judge anonymously by one thing now: whether the upgrade nag improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. The pattern I see with anonymously is that the point where it starts charging is fine early and degrades as you go.

Seconding this, because on anonymously the honest answer is that the pay-to-see-likes trick varies enormously by area. I keep two accounts running to compare the point where it starts charging across what is on offer, and anonymously sits mid-table.

There is no version of anonymously where the paywall sorts itself out without you doing something. Nobody warns you that the point where it starts charging on anonymously scales with how many people are online at your hours.

Kevin Nash and I've clearly used anonymously differently, because agreed, although with anonymously I would frame a free tier that's not free as a symptom rather than the cause.

The thing people underrate about anonymously is how much the upgrade nag depends on your own city. Honestly, the trial that quietly renews was less of a problem on anonymously than the sheer time it ate.

Things I wish somebody had told me about anonymously:

• Photos with other people in them do worse on anonymously than you would guess
• Test a free tier that is not free on anonymously deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Do not pay to fix the trial that quietly renews on anonymously; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; anonymously activity is nothing like flat

Anyone comparing anonymously on surprise billing should probably add Datelink to the list.
