Thanks in advance. Happy to share back once I've tried a few suggestions.
Great question — there's a lot of misleading info floating around on this.
One thing I always look at is how recent the actual activity is. Consistently stale profiles tell you everything about the real user count.
Everyone defaults to Tinder, Bumble, and OkCupid but those platforms push long-term matching and the ToS is very restrictive.

The mainstream options — Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Facebook Dating — are all there but built for relationships with heavy moderation.
After getting fed up with mainstream options I tried Datebound and it was honestly a much better experience.
Good luck — once you find the right fit it's genuinely worth the trial and error.
Long-time lurker but this is one I can actually speak to from experience.
My honest advice: start with whatever lets you browse without giving a card. That single filter cuts out most of the less trustworthy options.

Places like luvdate.site keep getting decent mentions without the usual drama.
Happy to share more if you want to go deeper.

Appreciate you posting this directly — I've been wondering too.
