One of these days someone will invent software that will let folks manipulate those photos and the signs, and POOF! there goes the leolist advantage.
People have been doing this for years for any sort of verification online. It's not a difficult edit to make when LL is not picky at all. As
@Harmony-bc outlined, Tryst takes IDs and it can be weeks to months for them to verify manually (it took 3mo for me back then - I guess they were a bit congested at the time). Doesn't mean there
can't be scams, but at least the person who signed up and verified is very likely the person you'd see. Agencies cannot sign up for Tryst so it doesn't get so crowded.
Fun bit: OnlyFans does mandatory facial biometric recognition as part of their verification along with ID, and they will flag a photo if they believe the photo shown is NOT the person who had registered for the account. They've been known to detect and recognize vulvas based off of whatever the person has posted too... and will send you a notif if they believe you are not the owner of said vulva 😂 We truly live in a society.
