I've spent about three months poking at cam and I still don't have a clean answer.
There's a real gap between how cam is marketed and how it behaves once you're actually using it.
I gave cam about two weeks of honest effort before deciding to ask.
Concretely, for cam, these are my criteria:
- What moderation on cam actually looks like when you report someone
- How quickly cam puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started
- How long cam takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all
- Whether the cam experience holds up after the first fortnight
Even a 'don't bother' on cam is a useful answer.
