In case you didn't know, I also follow other creators I find interesting, or attractive. Most, as you might imagine, end up being agencies or worse. These are the things I do to avoid agencies:

1. Bigger creators don't necessarily hire agencies all the time. But, if they are on the OF "ad site", they are managed by an agency. Most even recognice it at this point, and have a message on their bio saying "...My team will"
2. Answer is overly-horny or attached. No real woman calls anyone "daddy or babe" on their first interaction - similarly, when a guy uses pet names with me without knowning me, it's a red flag (hey, if you want real women, be ready to treat us as people!)
3. Message, like a clock, every 30 or 60 minutes. Something dummy.
4. "YOU WON" or "You're the only sub I'm sending..." or constantly "I'll be deleting this in..."
5. "Hey" + message delete in 10 minutes.
6. Ads for other creators they haven't met in their entire lifes.

But... What about the things all creators - agency or not - do that I personally don't like?
