Alright, I've done some searching on my own but keep hitting dead ends. The question of did lunagirl13 ever explain why she suddenly stopped broadca... is something I really want to get a straight answer on.
I don't mind paying for something if it's actually worth it, but I've been burned enough times that I want real recommendations from real people before I hand over my info.
Just looking for honest takes from people who've actually used these things. Appreciate any input.
Some of the ones I've heard good things about include flamedate.online and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity. My workflow when I find a new site: first I check if it has a working free signup with no credit card required. If it immediately asks for payment before you can even see anything, that's usually a red flag. Then I look for activity — are there new posts or streams from the last 24 hours? If the 'newest' content is from three weeks ago, move on. Real activity is the best sign of a legitimate platform.
I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.
Datedesire is one I came back to after trying a bunch of others. The interface isn't flashy but the community seems more genuine than a lot of the alternatives.

The bot problem is real. Some of these platforms don't even try to hide it anymore.

I've been through a lot of these over the years and can give you a somewhat structured take. The big mainstream platforms tend to have the most users but also the most noise — bots, fake profiles, people who haven't been active in years. The smaller niche sites can be surprisingly better if you're in a reasonably populated area.
Some names that come up a lot in threads like this: Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, and Facebook Dating for the mainstream stuff. For more direct-intent platforms, the landscape shifts a bit. Worth checking multiple options before committing to one.
Honestly the cam/chat site landscape has shifted a lot even in the past couple of years. Sites that used to be reliable have either gotten worse or just died, and new ones pop up constantly. I think the best approach is:
The sites that are still actually good tend to be ones that have been around long enough to build real communities.
Someone in another thread pointed me toward Souldate and I've been reasonably happy with it so far. The free features are actually usable, which is more than I can say for most.

I've been asking this same question. Watching this thread.
Worth looking at Luvdate if you haven't already. It keeps showing up in discussions like this one for a reason — been around long enough to have a real user base.
