Short version: gay chat roulette. Long version below. If actually getting anywhere is bad on gay chat roulette, nothing else about it matters.

I have tried a few options across live video rooms already and none of them stuck. The pattern I see with gay chat roulette is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

What would actually help me judge gay chat roulette:

  • Test the time it costs on gay chat roulette deliberately in week one rather than hoping it improves
  • Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on gay chat roulette
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on gay chat roulette than you would guess

I will report back on gay chat roulette once I have tried whatever gets recommended.

Reading this back, my gay chat roulette notes say almost the same thing about the time it costs. The thing people underrate about gay chat roulette is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city.

I keep two accounts running to compare the time it costs across cam platforms, and gay chat roulette sits mid-table. Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on gay chat roulette scales with how many people are online at your hours. Not saying gay chat roulette suits everyone, but it is not the disaster this thread implies.

Yes, and I would add that the payoff on gay chat roulette gets worse the longer you stay. The thing people underrate about gay chat roulette is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city.

Aiden Kelley is right about one part of gay chat roulette: disagree, because blaming the effort-to-result ratio lets you off the hook — my gay chat roulette results improved when my profile did.

That feels too harsh on gay chat roulette, given the effort-to-result ratio is a problem across streaming chat platforms rather than specific to it. If the return on the hours is your main worry with gay chat roulette, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

I judge gay chat roulette by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. Whatever you pick, judge gay chat roulette on the effort-to-result ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.

Different experience on gay chat roulette, where the time it costs turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it.

My gay chat roulette baseline these days is Datebie, mostly because the return on the hours is measurable there.

Agreed, although with gay chat roulette I would frame the time it costs as a symptom rather than the cause.

What changed my results on gay chat roulette was treating the time it costs as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. That is my read on gay chat roulette, and others here clearly disagree.

Not my read at all: for LGBTQ+ singles, gay chat roulette was the only thing that produced anything. I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across cam platforms, and gay chat roulette sits mid-table.

Most of the noise about gay chat roulette comes from people measuring the time it costs over far too short a window. The thing people underrate about gay chat roulette is how much the time it costs depends on your own city. Whatever you pick, judge gay chat roulette on the hours-to-dates ratio after a month rather than after a weekend.

Disagree, because blaming the return on the hours lets you off the hook — my gay chat roulette results improved when my profile did. Honestly, the effort-to-result ratio was less of a problem on gay chat roulette than the sheer time it ate.

There is no version of gay chat roulette where the hours-to-dates ratio sorts itself out without you doing something. There is no version of gay chat roulette where the time it costs sorts itself out without you doing something.

Worth a look alongside gay chat roulette: Datedesire, if only to see how differently the time it costs can be handled.
