Alright, I've done some searching on my own but keep hitting dead ends. The question of how do you guys screen people before going to an adult meet ... is something I really want to get a straight answer on.
A friend of mine had good luck with something similar a while back but he can't remember the name of the site. Real helpful, right.
Drop your experiences below — the good, the bad, whatever. I'll read everything.
I've had mixed experiences. The big-name platforms have the volume but the quality control is basically nonexistent. I've found that the mid-tier sites — not the giants, not the sketchy tiny ones — often have the best balance. Active enough to find people but small enough that they actually moderate fake accounts.
Someone in another thread pointed me toward Datedesire 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.
Yeah I had the same issue for months. Took a while but eventually found something that worked without being a total scam.

There's also datebound.site which a few people in my circle have used with decent results. This depends a lot on your location honestly. What works in a big city might be useless in a smaller market.
Don't overlook the smaller niche sites — they often have more engaged communities than the giants.
I'd suggest giving Souldate a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.
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 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.
Worth looking at Datelink 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.
