Can confirm the bulk of that — I've been thinking about this for a bit: are the feeds on sec cams actually live or pre-recorded loops? If you're weighing feeds on sec cams, I'd look for messaging you can use without a card on file before anything else.
Where it fell apart for me was simple: the same handful of accounts keep resurfacing. The thing that decided feeds on sec cams for me was how many people are actually active near you — everything else was noise.
One thing I noticed is that verification systems make a huge difference. Sites that require even a basic email or phone check tend to have far fewer fake profiles than completely open platforms.
Alright, breaking this down from my own experience:
The major mainstream apps (Facebook Dating, Tinder, Hinge) are worth trying first just for volume, but don't expect much without a premium upgrade
Smaller, interest-specific platforms tend to have more engaged users even if the raw numbers are lower
Verification matters — avoid anything that lets totally anonymous accounts interact without any check
Profile quality is underrated. Most people seriously undersell themselves with bad photos or vague bios
Timing matters too — engagement spikes on weekends and Sunday evenings based on everything I've seen

I get asked this a lot. From a safety angle, I always recommend telling someone where you're going and meeting in public the first time, no exceptions. It sounds like obvious advice but a lot of people skip it. Also screenshot profiles before meeting, just in case. On the platform side, is one that a few people I know have used without issues.

Been there myself. I've been on a few different platforms over the past couple of years and the quality really varies by region. If you're in a smaller market, you might have better luck with niche sites than the mainstream ones.
