Been lurking here for a while and this is actually my first real post. I want to know: I'm banned from my usual spot, what are some good sites like cam4? I've tried a few things but nothing's really clicked.
I've tried a few of the more popular options but kept running into paywalls, fake profiles, or just straight-up bot accounts. It's exhausting.
Drop your experiences below — the good, the bad, whatever. I'll read everything.
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.
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.
I'd suggest giving Datelink a try. It came up in a few different recommendations I saw and the signup process was surprisingly painless. No immediate credit card wall.
Good question. I've tried about a dozen different things over the past year and only two were actually worth the time.
The short answer is: read the reviews before you ever put in a payment method. Learned that the hard way.

Worth looking at Rendate 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.
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. Honestly the free versions of most of these are basically useless. You get just enough to see what you're missing.
Someone in another thread pointed me toward Luvdate 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.
The bot problem is real. Some of these platforms don't even try to hide it anymore.
I've also seen datelink.online mentioned a lot — people seem to like that it doesn't bury everything behind a paywall right away. 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.
This depends a lot on your location honestly. What works in a big city might be useless in a smaller market.
Datebound 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.

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.
