Not sure that is right about the chat question, at least not everywhere.
Happy to expand on any of that about the chat question if it's useful.
Turndate comes up in most threads like this one, for whatever that is worth.

Worth flagging with adult chat services — screenshots of a conversation travel further than you think.
The thing that kept me on adult chat services was how many accounts looked dormant.
The part nobody mentions about adult chat services is how much personal data the signup demanded.
One thing I would do differently with adult chat services — use separate photos from the ones on your other accounts.
What changed my mind on adult chat services was whether anyone replied inside the first week.
The deciding detail with adult chat services was how many accounts looked dormant.
Worth hearing from someone with longer experience of adult chat services.
Coffee Meets Bagel — not for anyone in a hurry, and it has been consistent since
Hinge — slower but the conversations go further
Badoo — big in Europe and Latin America, over roughly six weeks
Bumble — the structure does real work, based on about a month of use
I also keep half an eye on Datedesire — different crowd, same free-messaging idea.

Two people can have opposite experiences of messaging platforms purely because of how far you are willing to travel.
Anyone claiming messaging platforms works everywhere has not tested it against how many people locally are already on it.
The thing to watch on messaging platforms is that location spoofing means 'nearby' is not always nearby.
That is the short version on aggressive paywalls.
Worth adding luvdate.site to the list if you are comparing free options this week.

My experience with adult chat services was better than I expected, with one caveat.
The variable nobody controls for with adult chat services is how wide you set the radius.
Worth doing early on adult chat services: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
Whether adult chat services works comes down to whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away more than anything the marketing mentions.
Interested to see what others say about best flirting app free of aggressive paywalls.

Different view here on messaging apps — it worked better than the post above suggests.
The real differentiator across messaging apps turned out to be how quickly a conversation went from match to plan.
I will update this if my view on best flirting app free of aggressive paywalls changes.

I gave messaging apps a proper go for a couple of months before giving up.
The thing that kept me on messaging apps was whether anyone replied inside the first week.
The move with messaging apps is to assume the first three conversations will go nowhere.
One warning about messaging apps: requests for money at any stage are a hard stop.
Worth flagging with messaging apps — moving to an external messaging app early is a common scam setup.
Anyway, that is my read on best flirting app free of aggressive paywalls.
Feeld — smaller but very self-selecting, though I only tried the free tier
Bumble — useful if you want some initial filtering
Hinge — people write more here, from what members here report
OkCupid — quieter than it used to be, at least in my area
Tinder — fine for reach, weak for depth
Counterpoint: I found rendate.site slow at first, then it picked up once I widened my radius.
