Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about exclusive dating sites that celebrities use. Exclusive sites is the clearest case of it — half the frustration disappears once you compare two platforms in the same fortnight. The exclusive sites case is instructive — the reply rate explains more than the length of the feature list.
With exclusive sites, most of the disappointment traces back to how often the same faces reappear. Same story on celebrities exclusive: it is worth checking how many first messages actually land before you look at the app store rating. The celebrities sites angle is worse, because what decides it is how much sits behind the paywall, not star ratings from strangers.
I judge exclusive sites on one thing: the platform shows dormant accounts as active, and how fast moderation responds suffers for it. Strip the marketing away from exclusive dating sites that celebrities use and nothing improves until you ask a specific question in the first message. If you have been through the celebrities version of this, I'd rather hear the unglamorous account.
