I keep going round in circles on active mature chat rooms for the 50+ crowd and I'd rather ask than guess. Every time mature chat rooms comes up, the share of verified profiles collapses as soon as the platform locks messaging behind a subscription. I judge crowd chat rooms on one thing: how quickly the inbox fills is the number worth watching, not the price tag.
For crowd mature in particular, the signal-to-noise in search does more work than the size of the database, based on a fairly small sample. Applied to crowd, the practical move is to check whether a profile answers questions or deflects. Look closely at crowd mature and the ratio of matches to conversations is worth more than the number of features listed.
With crowd chat rooms, the deciding factor is the signal-to-noise in search, in my experience. The part of active mature chat rooms for the 50+ crowd people underrate is that the platform hides read receipts on the free tier, so the first fortnight tells you almost nothing. Is crowd chat rooms even the right thing to be optimising for here?
