But, suspiciously, they’ve started to ignore me after all my withdrawal transaction history has disappeared even though it says I can see the past 90 days. They don’t have any means to get hold of someone other than ONE email and an official profile on the platform. Both of which I’ve

  12. [R11] Clapper 1/5 · GB Started out good, but going down hill fast: App was nice and felt different from other apps at first but didn’t take long for it to go down hill and now it’s becoming taken over with scammers, fraudsters, catfish and hackers.

Their algorithms really tried to help you go viral each time if it’s good enough content… most things I post gets a fair amount of views…. There’s not too many restrictions on posts as well unlike other platforms where it’s become a bit of a tyranny these days. Moving forward I will be focusing on
