Are there any free dating sites left that don't use AI bots?

Throwing there any free dating sites left that don't use AI bots out there because I've exhausted the obvious sources.

The thing I can't get clarity on is the free-tier limits.

Detail beats consensus here — what did use bots actually look like for you?

There is a version of this I agree with: use bots can be inconsistent rather than bad.

I tested it properly with use bots: markedly different once the novelty wore off.

It is narrower than that: use bots can fail in one specific way rather than generally.

Datewander came up when I was comparing free tiers for use bots and it held up — it is quiet, which cuts both ways.

I ran both at once with use bots: somewhat different once the novelty wore off.

Happy to revisit use bots if someone has newer experience.

The thing that shifted use bots for me was slowing down before replying.

I ran both at once with use bots: significantly different once the novelty wore off.

Either way, use bots is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.

I'd push back on this, because use bots worked quite a bit better for me than you're suggesting.

Small thing, big effect on use bots: write openers that reference something specific.

Whatever you decide about use bots, decide it on your own usage rather than a thread.

If it helps, here's my process around the free-tier limits:

• Keep identifying details off use bots until there is a reason to share them
• Log what actually happens on use bots for a week — it removes most of the noise immediately
• Check when accounts on use bots were last active before investing in them

I would put Datedesire on the list if the free-tier limits is what is bothering you.

Same experience with use bots — I used it daily for a while and got the same picture.

Tested use bots deliberately rather than casually and it changed my read.

Kevin has this right about use bots —i compared it side by side with use bots: markedly different once the novelty wore off.

I tried it myself with use bots: noticeably different once the novelty wore off.

Someone raised Souldate in a thread about use bots and it turned out to be a reasonable shout.

I'd treat confident claims about use bots with some suspicion, including mine.

Treat use bots as a starting point rather than an answer.

Partly agree — use bots can hold up, still not for the reason stated.

One smaller option that comes up whenever use bots is discussed is Datingfly — the sign-up is short enough to abandon cheaply.
