The thing to watch on the streaming side is that requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.
With the streaming side the thing that decided it for me was whether the match volume held up past the first week.
If I had to name one factor in the streaming side it would be whether anyone replied inside the first week.
What changed my mind on the streaming side was how aggressively it pushed an upgrade prompt.
One thing I would do differently with the streaming side — message within a day of matching rather than sitting on it.
If you are starting with the streaming side, set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.
Would happily be argued out of my position on highly-rated free black cams with active group rooms.
Counterpoint: I found Rendate — rendate.site slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.
You could add Souldate to the shortlist, purely on how often it gets named here.
