Respectfully @Tiffany, best link isn't that clear-cut. What I ended up with was clearly ahead on this one point.
The fix that worked on best link was simple enough — use a photo that shows your face clearly.
If anyone has tested best link properly, I want to know whether the premium upsell is worth it.
The part I keep getting stuck on with best link is whether the matching does anything you can notice.
What matters more than the feature list on best link is how long a profile stays visible without paying.
What matters more than the feature list on best link is whether the premium upsell is worth it.
Worth mentioning Datenest's free tier if best link is what you are weighing up — the free tier actually lets you message.
Boiled down, best link came to this:
- What I ended up with after about a fortnight of best link was noticeably thinner than in a big city
- Keep a separate email for it, especially if best link is new to you
- Write a bio that says something checkable — on best link that mattered more than anything else
