I've used multiple dating sites but I've never seen more bots than Ashley Madison. They have an elaborate and clever set up. AM relies on female bots to lure men in by showing interest and sending messages like "I only communicate men that can send me a message". The only way to send messages on AM, at least on the app, is by purchasing credits. The credits are somewhat affordable but the issue is not the money as much as it is not having real people to send messages to. This is a clever set up even by a "discreet" app that was hacked and had millions of its users names exposed a few years ago. This is the worst dating app I've ever used. I have it 1/5 stars above but it's really 0/5. STAY AWAY and save your money.
