Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about an active mpwh dating community here. The mpwh community case is instructive — most of the disappointment traces back to how far the free tier gets you. Look closely at community platforms and the deciding factor is how honest the pricing page is, at least on my account.
Same story on mpwh: the platform surfaces profiles far outside your radius, and the churn on new sign-ups suffers for it. How many first messages actually land is the number worth watching, not the length of the feature list, which is the whole problem with mpwh.
The mpwh community angle is worse, because it is worth checking the amount of recycled content before you look at the size of the ad budget. Strip the marketing away from an active mpwh dating community here and half the frustration disappears once you write the bio for one person rather than for everyone. If you have been through the mpwh platforms version of this, I would rather hear the unglamorous account.
