Has anyone used the streamate chat feature, and is it worth the token cost?

Would appreciate honest takes on streamate chat — including from anyone who thinks it's the wrong question.

The reviews I can find on streamate chat never say what the free tier actually lets you do.

For what it's worth I did test a couple of options around streamate chat before posting.

Concretely, for streamate chat, these are my criteria:

• How much token actually costs you when using streamate chat
• How long streamate chat takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all
• Whether token is worth prioritising over everything else in streamate chat
• How streamate chat treats token once you stop paying
• Whether token makes any material difference to streamate chat

If you've actually used something relevant to streamate chat, I'd rather hear that than a recommendation you read somewhere.

Someone recommended the Datebound threads to me during my own search around streamate chat and it was better than I expected.

What's your actual goal here — is streamate chat about meeting someone soon, or about finding the right platform first?

the Rendate threads is what I ended up using while working through streamate chat — not perfect, but the free tier is real.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Ezhookups threads solved the messaging-paywall part of streamate chat for me last year.

Broadly with you on streamate chat, though I would weight moderation higher than you have here.

Not sure I agree. The people I know who did well with streamate chat weren't on the biggest platform.

Adding the Flurrydate threads to the pile for streamate chat, where the community is smaller but people actually reply.

Going to push back a little, because I do not think streamate chat is about the size of the pool at all.

My own run at streamate chat: three months, two platforms, and one relationship that lasted about a year — small sample, but real.

I've also seen Datewander.site mentioned in this context more than once.
