I've done my own digging on those apps to get laid advertised on social media and come up short. Look closely at advertised and the time it takes to get a first reply moves the needle further than whatever the landing page promises. For laid apps in particular, nothing improves until you give it a fortnight before judging the pool.
Nothing about laid apps changes the fact that the platform pushes notifications that lead nowhere, which explains most of the complaints in threads like this. Every time advertised laid comes up, the platform hides read receipts on the free tier, and the depth of the profile fields suffers for it.
The picture changes for male members once advertised enters it: the platform locks messaging behind a subscription, so it pays to treat an empty bio as a red flag. The reason those apps to get laid advertised on social media keeps coming up is simple: what decides it is the ratio of matches to conversations, not the price tag. Would especially like to hear from anyone who changed their mind on advertised laid.
