Aww, that's so wholesome
As you said, these apps are more concerned with appearances and the short bio/descriptions you can give. It's not a good way to value a person. If you're looking for something long term, I doubt you'll find it on a typical dating app. That's like going to McDonalds and expecting gourmet cooking. You're more likely to run into someone compatible just through common interests.

I do prefer services, which verify your photos, at least. So you can be sure, that a girl, which is talking with you - is a real girl, not just a pranker. Talking of which, what do you think about this [Link Redacted] dating website? It looks like pretty popular dating service, isn't it? It has a lot of option how to find the right girl.

I like your McDonald's analogy and you are definitely right, back in the day online apps were mostly content than pictures with a lot of messaging before any meeting, now things shifted and the new apps aim for quantity than quality.

I can take a photo of a random female whilst on public transport, upload It, create a profile and pretend to be her.

What website are you using and how is your profile set up? You have to be very intentional in your messaging to create the profile that will attract the kind of significant other you are looking for. I recommend going with an expert and letting them create a profile for you (double emphasis on straight men as they are statistically have a lower match rate than women).

This could be a great idea if u don't have enough time or maybe not a lot of friends.

Yes, and in fact it is very unusual

personally i'm against having a relationship only online but meeting online and then transitioning into a standard relationship is all good
