From the time I discovered redpill to now, including become an exredpiller, I've been in a long term polyamorous relationship.
I found early TRP to be very attractive. Yes, there was the bitter underbelly, the dark triad folks that were just in it for sex. Same things exist in all deduction communities. That said, it was the only community I've ever found that took a tough love approach to self betterment.
TRP doesn't let it's followers make excuses. It really espouses that anyone can better themself and achieve their goals. This is usually communicated in the form of "shut up and go lift" or "quit bitching and go meet women".
This was incredible effective for me. TRP learnings definitely helped me to feel better about myself, and to be healthier, and driven. When I was in the community, I ate better, worked out more, and had more success at work. I was more driven, because I felt like a group that was working towards a goal, and the hardass lack of sympathy worked better than any other community I'd had. And remarkably my mental health was better too. I was able to (mostly) filter out the dehumanizing bullshit, and had a clear path to follow.
That said, I absolutely believe the community is toxic, especially today. While those values I mentioned above can still be seen of you dig, it's become a much bigger circlejerk of misogyny than in it's early days. Angry incels have flocked to it, rather than people actually trying to do better. Even before, dehumanizing women (plates, AWALT, etc) was common, but now it's core ethos.
While I'd love to find a hardass community that accepts no excuses and shares my goals (increased success in sexual marketplace, become more attractive and successful), it seems like the other options really lack that mentality.
I will never go back to TRP - it was unhealthy for my relationships (friend or lover), but it isn't worth exposing myself to the perverted worldview there.
