Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about it possible to use a virtual background. Nothing about virtual background changes the fact that the platform caps how many searches you run a day, and the signal-to-noise in search suffers for it. The deciding factor is the churn on new sign-ups, in my experience, which is the whole problem with virtual background.
Same story on virtual background: the platform pushes notifications that lead nowhere, and that is usually where the goodwill runs out. If virtual is your priority, the practical move is to check whether a profile answers questions or deflects.
I judge virtual on one thing: the platform boosts newer accounts over established ones, so it pays to report problems early instead of blocking quietly. On it possible to use a virtual background specifically, nothing improves until you give it a fortnight before judging the pool. Is virtual even the right thing to be optimising for here?
