What are the top gay cam chat sites for meeting bears and older guys?

This might be an obvious question to some of you, but I'm stuck on gay cam chat.

Most of what's written about gay cam chat is either two years out of date or quietly sponsored.

Narrowing it down, here is what matters to me about gay cam chat:

• Whether bears is worth prioritising over everything else in gay cam chat
• How quickly gay cam chat puts a paywall in front of a conversation that has started
• Whether the matching in gay cam chat does anything beyond distance
• Whether the gay cam chat experience holds up after the first fortnight
