What are the top cam sites?

Quick question for the community: What are the top cam sites?

I’m not trying to get into anything explicit — more interested in what’s legit, what’s a scam, and how to stay safe.

A quick video call (non-explicit) can save a lot of time if you’re both comfortable with it.
