Putting some other dating apps for finding long-term love to the group because search results are useless on this.
Everything hinges on results people can point to as far as I'm concerned.
Concrete examples around other dating welcome, vague reassurance less so.
#2
Kept a tally on other dating over the last few months and the numbers were not what I expected.
Results on other dating improved once I stopped optimising for volume.
I would put Ezhookups on the list if results people can point to is what is bothering you.

Picking up Samantha's point on other dating:this overstates the problem with other dating, I think.
The thing that shifted other dating for me was slowing down before replying.
Either way, other dating is worth a fortnight of honest attention before you judge it.
The checklist I use now for other dating:
- Give other dating a full fortnight before forming a view
- Stop optimising other dating for volume — it is the one habit that survived for me
- Ignore any prompt on other dating that pressures an upgrade in the first session
I have seen Luvdate raised in similar threads without anyone backing it up.

It is narrower than that: other dating can fail in one specific way rather than generally.
Depends heavily on context — other dating can be fine in cities and thin outside them.
There is a version of this I agree with: other dating can be inconsistent rather than bad.
On results people can point to specifically, Datebie handled it better than the obvious names.
#5
Small thing, big effect on other dating: write openers that reference something specific.
Datelink gets recommended organically rather than pushed, which usually means something for other dating.
#6
I ran both at once, and other dating behaved exactly as you say.
Worth separating two things here — other dating and what people expect from it.
#7
Worth noting how much of what's written about other dating is promotional.
Partly agree — other dating can hold up, then again not for the reason stated.
Datedesire gets recommended organically rather than pushed, which usually means something for other dating.
