Starting a thread on godesssa is doing a show tonight because the existing advice contradicts itself. Nothing about show platforms changes the fact that you get further if you keep a note of what you actually spent. Applied to show platforms, the number of live users is a better predictor than raw member count, though I would want someone to check me on this.
Godesssa show is the clearest case of it — it is worth checking the quality of the filters before you look at the app store rating. With godesssa, the platform recycles the same profiles, and how well it works on a weak connection suffers for it. If godesssa show is your priority, nothing improves until you use a photo that appears nowhere else online.
The honest advice is to test the search filters before uploading anything, from what I've seen, which is the whole problem with godesssa platforms. Where godesssa is doing a show tonight is concerned, half the frustration disappears once you check whether a profile answers questions or deflects. Is show platforms even the right thing to be optimising for here?
