This has come up in conversations with a few friends and nobody seems to agree. Figured I'd post here since you guys tend to actually know what you're talking about.
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.
Drop your experiences below — the good, the bad, whatever. I'll read everything.
DatingFly 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.
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.
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.
Honestly the free versions of most of these are basically useless. You get just enough to see what you're missing.
I'd suggest giving Turndate a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.
I've also seen datedesire.online mentioned a lot — people seem to like that it doesn't bury everything behind a paywall right away. Honestly the free versions of most of these are basically useless. You get just enough to see what you're missing.

Good question. I've tried about a dozen different things over the past year and only two were actually worth the time.

One that I keep seeing recommended and actually tested myself is Datewander — signed up a few weeks back and the ratio of real users to bots was noticeably better than some of the more hyped platforms.
Some of the ones I've heard good things about include Ezhookups.online and a couple of others — the key is finding something with real recent activity. Yeah I had the same issue for months. Took a while but eventually found something that worked without being a total scam.
