Poly bullshit is one of the grossest STD-infested hives I've ever had the displeasure of witnessing. Before she met me, my last ex was in some weird creepy throuple that lasted all of a week. The way she described it seemed very typical: creepy schizo guy that beat up his girlfriend wasn't satisfied sexually, so he convinced her to open up the relationship (which she was susceptible to as a genderspecial wacko). The dude got STDs from fucking random men and women of course. Then he waited until my ex had broken up with her long-term boyfriend and groomed her to move in with them. Guy gave her a disease, and the girlfriend lost her shit because she got jealous, and got super fucking catty doing her best to degrade her. They lived together for five months after the "polycule" or whatever ended, and it was constant abuse, cheating, manipulation, etc. I'm convinced every last one of these people are socially maladjusted and emotionally immature to the point that they seem incapable of centering anyone other than themselves. There's always an inability to deal with problems and work through them because commitment is too hard or some shit. She agreed it was bad all-around at first, but then I learned her besties on her socials were poly, and had actually asked her to join them in it. That was followed by maybe halfway into the relationship she reversed course on everything and told me she was poly while drunk, but took it back, defended her ex's woman-beating (who she talked to every day), and lied about her location every so often. I'm pretty sure when people can't do things in the "ethically non-monogamous" way, they drop what they consider to be ethical and flat-out lie, cheat and abuse to get their way.
And of course, there's a trans/genderfreak overlap in those social circles. I noticed so many batshit insane "nonbinary" women looking for multiple partners, usually other women, to join in with their creepy boyfriends. One of them started a new job and had a mental breakdown on the first day because it was too hard, so she got fired on the spot. And these days it seems like 2 in 5 of the women I see on apps are "ethically non-monogamous" or some other stupid shit.
