Genuine question about dirty chatroulette — I do not have a strong view yet and I want one. If the time it costs is bad on dirty chatroulette, nothing else about it matters.

For context I am mostly comparing streaming chat platforms rather than anything niche. The pattern I see with dirty chatroulette is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go.

Concretely, for dirty chatroulette:

  • Compare dirty chatroulette against cam platforms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless
  • Run dirty chatroulette beside one other option so you have a baseline for the effort-to-result ratio
  • Do not move off dirty chatroulette into private messaging until actually getting anywhere looks handled
  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the dirty chatroulette pool near you is thin

If you have tried dirty chatroulette recently, I would rather hear that than read another review site.

I read Ivy Warren's reply on dirty chatroulette and that tracks with my dirty chatroulette run, which was fine until the hours-to-dates ratio became the whole experience.

Most of the noise about dirty chatroulette comes from people measuring the effort-to-result ratio over far too short a window. Happy to answer follow-ups on dirty chatroulette if that helps.

Somebody in another dirty chatroulette thread pointed me at Ezhookups and it held up better than expected on the return on the hours.

Reading this back, my dirty chatroulette notes say almost the same thing about the effort-to-result ratio.

I keep two accounts running to compare the return on the hours across streaming chat platforms, and dirty chatroulette sits mid-table. Take that as one data point on dirty chatroulette rather than a recommendation.

The short version for dirty chatroulette:

  • Treat your first dirty chatroulette profile as a draft, because the payoff punishes lazy ones
  • Check what dirty chatroulette does about the time it costs before you upload anything you would not want indexed
  • Give dirty chatroulette a fortnight of daily use before calling the return on the hours a dealbreaker
  • Compare dirty chatroulette against live video rooms on the same week, or the comparison is meaningless

Others asking about dirty chatroulette have named datebie.online, ezhookups.online, datescout.site.

james.here and I have clearly used dirty chatroulette differently, because respectfully no — complaints about actually getting anywhere on dirty chatroulette usually come from people who gave it a week. I judge dirty chatroulette by one thing now: whether the effort-to-result ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty.

For contrast with dirty chatroulette I would look at Datedesire; the free tier there behaves differently.

Where I differ from JoNguyen181 on dirty chatroulette: yes, and I would add that the time it costs on dirty chatroulette gets worse the longer you stay. Nobody warns you that the time it costs on dirty chatroulette scales with how many people are online at your hours.

What changed my results on dirty chatroulette was treating actually getting anywhere as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. The thing people underrate about dirty chatroulette is how much the time it costs depends on your own city. You can work around the effort-to-result ratio on dirty chatroulette, but you have to be deliberate about it.

Reading this back, my dirty chatroulette notes say almost the same thing about the payoff. If the time it costs is your main worry with dirty chatroulette, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

You can work around the hours-to-dates ratio on dirty chatroulette, but you have to be deliberate about it. Either way, actually getting anywhere is the thing I would test first on dirty chatroulette.

If you do try dirty chatroulette, do this:

  • Do not pay to fix the hours-to-dates ratio on dirty chatroulette; the paid tiers rarely touch the real cause
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on dirty chatroulette than you would guess
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — dirty chatroulette rewards it

The other one I would try before giving up on dirty chatroulette is Datescout.

Different experience on dirty chatroulette, where the hours-to-dates ratio turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it.

There is no version of dirty chatroulette where the return on the hours sorts itself out without you doing something. The pattern I see with dirty chatroulette is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go.

I have seen flurrydate.online, turndate.site, luvdate.site recommended for dirty chatroulette, though I have not tested them properly.

Jackson Howard is right about one part of dirty chatroulette: i will push back here, because dirty chatroulette worked fine for me and actually getting anywhere was never the issue. Most of the noise about dirty chatroulette comes from people measuring the payoff over far too short a window.

Honestly, the hours-to-dates ratio was less of a problem on dirty chatroulette than the sheer time it ate. What changed my results on dirty chatroulette was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. Whatever you pick, judge dirty chatroulette on actually getting anywhere after a month rather than after a weekend.

Anyone comparing dirty chatroulette on the payoff should probably add Flurrydate to the list.
