What is your honest review of the badoo free tier?

Genuine question for the board, and I've tried to search first: your honest review of the badoo free tier.

The criteria I keep coming back to on free tier:

• What the badoo side of free tier looks like in practice
• How free tier handles blocking, privacy and who can see your profile
• How the badoo experience on free tier compares month to month
• Whether badoo is the reason free tier feels inconsistent
• How free tier handles badoo compared with the bigger names

JoshuaM, that's roughly where I landed on free tier too. It's telling how many replies here about free tier contradict each other — that's the honest state of it.

I've also seen Ezhookups.site mentioned in this context more than once.
