Are there any reliable cam2cam sites where both people stay completely anonymous?

Putting any reliable cam2cam sites where both people stay completely anonymous to the board because search results on it are almost entirely marketing. What I care about with cam2cam is fake profiles more than anything else.

I have about a month of using the cam side of things behind me and not much to show for it. What changed my results on cam2cam was treating fake profiles as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

The open questions I have on cam2cam:

• Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — cam2cam rewards it
• Do not pay to fix scripted messages on cam2cam; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
• Screenshot anything odd on cam2cam before you report it — obviously unreal accounts claims need evidence
• Test the scam side of it on cam2cam deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves

If you have tried any reliable cam2cam sites where both people stay completely anonymous recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

Broadly agree on cam2cam — bot accounts was what decided it for me too. The thing people underrate about cam2cam is how much the catfish problem depends on your own city.

You can work around obviously unreal accounts on cam2cam, but you have to be deliberate about it. Nobody warns you that scripted messages on cam2cam scales with how many people are online at your hours.

If you want a second data point on cam2cam, Luvdate is the one I run alongside it.

Not my read at all: for people replying above, cam2cam was the only thing that produced anything.

I keep two accounts running to compare fake profiles across video chat sites, and cam2cam sits mid-table. Honestly, the scam side of it was less of a problem on cam2cam than the sheer time it ate.

I would argue the opposite on cam2cam: profiles that never survive a video call is the one thing it handles better than streaming chat platforms. If automated engagement bait is your main worry with cam2cam, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

You can work around fake profiles on cam2cam, but you have to be deliberate about it. Most of the noise about cam2cam comes from people measuring scripted messages over far too short a window. I judge cam2cam by one thing now: whether the catfish problem improves or worsens once you're past the novelty.

My cam2cam baseline these days is Rendate, mostly because the scam side of it is measurable there.

This matches what I found with cam2cam, where the catfish problem is exactly where it falls down.

Honestly, obviously unreal accounts was less of a problem on cam2cam than the sheer time it ate.

Yes, and I would add that obviously unreal accounts on cam2cam gets worse the longer you stay. For people replying above, the cam2cam experience lives or dies on profiles that never survive a video call and almost nothing else. For regulars here, the cam2cam experience lives or dies on fake profiles and almost nothing else.

That feels too harsh on cam2cam, given the scam side of it's a problem across video chat sites rather than specific to it. I keep two accounts running to compare scripted messages across video chat sites, and cam2cam sits mid-table.

I judge cam2cam by one thing now: whether scripted messages improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. There is no version of cam2cam where automated engagement bait sorts itself out without you doing something.

Where I differ from Scott_NY on cam2cam: that feels too harsh on cam2cam, given scripted messages is a problem across live video rooms rather than specific to it. For regulars here, the cam2cam experience lives or dies on obviously unreal accounts and almost nothing else.

Nobody warns you that obviously unreal accounts on cam2cam scales with how many people are online at your hours. I keep two accounts running to compare automated engagement bait across the cam side of things, and cam2cam sits mid-table.

Seconding this, because on cam2cam the honest answer is that scripted messages varies enormously by area. The thing people underrate about cam2cam is how much bot accounts depends on your own city.

If bot accounts is your main worry with cam2cam, test it in the first week rather than the first month. Whatever you pick, judge cam2cam on bot accounts after a month rather than after a weekend.

If you do try cam2cam, do this:

• Compare cam2cam against the cam side of things on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
• Run cam2cam beside one other option so you have a baseline for automated engagement bait
• Do not move off cam2cam into private messaging until fake profiles looks handled
• Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the cam2cam pool near you is thin
• Message within a day of matching — on cam2cam that window closes fast

Same experience on cam2cam: I gave it six weeks before profiles that never survive a video call got tiresome. For regulars here, the cam2cam experience lives or dies on automated engagement bait and almost nothing else.

What worked for me on cam2cam:

• Test automated engagement bait on cam2cam deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
• Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on cam2cam
• Photos with other people in them do worse on cam2cam than you would guess
• Ask most people in this thread what cam2cam is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Block early and report often on cam2cam — it trains the feed faster than anything
