Long-time lurker, first thread — my question is about which platform is best if I specifically want video. The instead chat rooms case is instructive — it is worth checking how fast moderation responds before you look at the badge on the download page. Same story on instead chat rooms: the honest advice is to read the newest reviews rather than the top-rated ones, from what I have seen.
The picture changes for female members once instead enters it: the deciding factor is the share of verified profiles, at least on my account. Speaking as one of the women in this thread, I'd say what decides it is the reply rate, not star ratings from strangers — instead included. If instead is your priority, how often the same faces reappear is the number worth watching, not the size of the database.
For instead random in particular, the quality of the filters moves the needle further than whatever the landing page promises, having tried a handful of these. The practical move is to turn off precise location until you trust someone — and that goes double for which platform is best if I specifically want video. Tell me where the instead chat rooms reasoning above falls down.
