This is the right question. The answer is mostly whether the community polices itself.
About 100 profiles into the platform, the pattern around how easy it is to spot a recycled photo became obvious.
If you are only browsing, the site is fine. The moment whether the ratio is workable in your area matters, it changes.

Widening the radius on that one added volume and quietly worsened whether messaging costs anything once you start.
Would be interested to hear if exclusive dating sites for high-income earners worked out differently for you.
The closest alternative I found was the Datescout community threads.
