I understand the frustration—I spent half a year freaking out over empty profiles and demands for donations. On a friend’s advice, I switched to
https://smart-date.fun/ and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The community there is active; people actually interact with each other, rather than just collecting likes for Instagram. The design is minimalist, and moderation is strict, so any spam gets filtered out right away. Of course, miracles don’t happen, and you have to take the initiative yourself, but the service runs smoothly and without unnecessary red tape.
