Is adult cam chat addictive for some people?

Genuine question for the board, and I've tried to search first: is adult cam chat addictive for some people.

It's genuinely difficult to separate marketing from experience when it comes to cam chat.

My own attempt at cam chat lasted a month and ended with me deleting three apps.

What would actually change my mind about cam chat:

• How visible cam chat keeps you when you are not paying for a boost
• Whether the free tier on cam chat is genuinely usable or just a demo
• How long cam chat takes before a conversation goes anywhere at all

Even a 'don't bother' on cam chat is a useful answer.

I'd qualify this: cam chat works fine if you're in a city, less so otherwise.

The addictive disagreement in this thread says more about cam chat than any single answer.

Since we're comparing options around cam chat, the Flurrydate free tier came up when I was looking at the same thing.

Disagree with Aiden Lewis slightly here on cam chat. Just flagging that some results you will find for cam chat are review farms rather than reviews.

Coming back to this one later, since the range of experience with cam chat here is genuinely useful.

Worth noting that nobody in this thread has agreed on cam chat yet, which is itself an answer.

I keep the Datewander boards open alongside the bigger names when I'm dealing with cam chat.

If you are testing cam chat, keep the first message short and reference something specific in their profile.

Be careful with cam chat: several platforms in this space make deleting your data much harder than creating it.

What moved the needle for me on cam chat was three clear photos plus one specific opening line.

Not affiliated with anyone, but the Datebie forums solved the messaging-paywall part of cam chat for me last year.
