Which singles websites are best for finding people with niche hobbies?

So: singles websites are best for finding people with niche hobbies. I have read a lot of contradictory takes on singles websites niche and would rather hear from people who tried it. Everything I have read about singles websites niche skips straight past the payoff.

I have tried a few options across the options here already and none of them stuck. I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across platforms in this space, and singles websites niche sits mid-table.

• Photos with other people in them do worse on singles websites niche than you would guess
• Test actually getting anywhere on singles websites niche deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Do not pay to fix the time it costs on singles websites niche; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; singles websites niche activity is nothing like flat
