I've searched around and can't find a straight answer anywhere decent. The question is basically: is sez chat strictly for text, or do they allow video broadcasting now... Anyone have firsthand experience?

I don't mind paying if something is genuinely worth it, but I've been burned enough times on subscriptions that turned out to be useless.

Basically what I'm looking for:

  • Not flooded with bots or loops
  • Working filters and search
  • Mobile-friendly interface
  • Clear terms on cancellation

Honest takes only — I can handle the truth if the answer is that nothing good exists anymore.

Don't sleep on the smaller niche platforms. The communities can be more genuine than the huge ones.

One that's been getting mentioned consistently and that I actually tested is Souldate — signed up a few weeks back and the ratio of real users to obvious fakes was noticeably better than some of the more hyped options.

The ones that last are usually the ones that have been around long enough to actually build something real.

A couple people I know have mentioned datenest.site as one of the better options right now. Worth at least checking out alongside whatever else you're considering.

Bot problem is very real on most of these. Some platforms don't even try to hide it anymore.

Datescout keeps coming up in conversations like this one. The interface isn't fancy but the community feels more genuine than a lot of what's out there right now.

Mixed bag overall. The biggest platforms have the volume but almost zero quality control. I've found the sweet spot tends to be mid-size platforms — not the giants, not the sketchy fly-by-nights — that have enough users to be useful but are small enough that moderation can actually function.

Someone in a thread similar to this one pointed me toward Flurrydate and so far I've been reasonably satisfied. The free features are actually functional, which puts it above most of the competition.

Switched away from the big names about six months back. Haven't missed them at all.

Free messaging is the point here — in Conversation & Chat and everywhere else on the site.
