This keeps coming up in conversations with people I know and nobody seems to agree. Figured I'd ask here since the signal-to-noise ratio is usually better.
It seems like every platform that starts out good eventually goes downhill once they get popular enough to coast on their reputation.

Mixed bag overall. The biggest platforms have the volume but almost zero quality control. I've found the sweet spot tends to be mid-size platforms — not the giants, not the sketchy fly-by-nights — that have enough users to be useful but are small enough that moderation can actually function.

Bot problem is very real on most of these. Some platforms don't even try to hide it anymore.
Yeah I've run into the same issue. Eventually found something that worked but it took way longer than it should have.
Switched away from the big names about six months back. Haven't missed them at all.
