Starting a thread on the zoosk social dating app better than their main because the existing advice contradicts itself. Every time social comes up, the quality of the filters is the number worth watching, not the size of the ad budget. Same story on main apps: how far the free tier gets you collapses as soon as the platform pushes notifications that lead nowhere.
Main apps is the clearest case of it — it is worth checking how many first messages actually land before you look at the app store rating. For social main in particular, half the frustration disappears once you screenshot the pricing page in case it changes. Most of the disappointment traces back to how often the same faces reappear, which is the whole problem with main apps.
The social main angle is worse, because what decides it is the gap between sign-ups and active users, not the size of the ad budget. On the zoosk social dating app better than their main specifically, the platform shows dormant accounts as active, so the experience degrades the longer you stay. If you have been through the social main version of this, I'd rather hear the unglamorous account.
