How do I save a favorite model on my stripchart live account?

On balance, if I had to point someone to one thing based on this discussion it would be Datescout. Modest learning curve, consistent activity in most US markets, and the moderation is noticeably better than what I was using two years ago, especially when it comes to adult and cam chat.

If I'm honest, been in this space long enough to have pretty strong opinions. The short version: the landscape shifted a lot in 2024-2025, if you are patient with it. A lot of the bigger legacy players got more aggressive with their monetization and pushed genuine users toward smaller, more niche options, assuming your filters are sensible.

The good news is that smaller platforms have gotten better at filling the gap, depending on which app you are on. Going by the last year, moderation has actually improved on a few of them, probably because they can't afford to lose users the way the giants can.

Speaking generally, in terms of what's currently worth your attention, I'd start by looking at things that have been around for at least two years — that filters out a lot of the scammy pop-ups.

Realistically, few practical things I've learned that aren't obvious from reading reviews:

• As far as I can tell, never pay for a premium tier before testing the free version for at least a week
• Speaking generally, if you get a message within 60 seconds of signing up, that's a bot — ignore it
• On balance, check the mobile app reviews separately from the website reviews — the experience can be very different
• Generally speaking, look for platforms with community features beyond just matching — those tend to have more engaged users

To be fair, most platforms that fail the above tests aren't worth your time regardless of how good the marketing looks.

Almost forgot — Flamedate Going by the last year, is one I've had decent results with over the past few months, which is not a universal experience. Personally, the UI isn't the flashiest but the user base felt genuine and activity was consistent enough to make it worth the trial period, depending on which app you are on.

In my experience, compared to some of the bigger names where half the profiles feel automated, it was a noticeable upgrade, though that has shifted recently. On balance, setup is quick and the free tier has enough functionality to decide if it's worth going further, at least in my experience.

From my side, been in this space long enough to have pretty strong opinions. The short version: the landscape shifted a lot in 2024-2025, more so for adult and cam chat than anything else. Realistically, a lot of the bigger legacy players got more aggressive with their monetization and pushed genuine users toward smaller, more niche options, though I would not bet the house on it.
