Been lurking here for a while and this is actually my first real post. I want to know: Is the aex chat app safe to download on an Android phone? I've tried a few things but nothing's really clicked.
The thing that frustrates me most is when you sign up somewhere, it looks promising, and then two clicks in you're being asked for a credit card. Not exactly what I was hoping for.
Drop your experiences below — the good, the bad, whatever. I'll read everything.
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.

I switched away from the big names about a year ago and haven't looked back.

There's also luvdate.site which a few people in my circle have used with decent results.
