Did candy_crush99 retire from camming?

This has been on my mind lately. Did candy_crush99 retire from camming? — sharing some thoughts below.

Between fake profiles, bots, and subscription traps, it's hard to know what's actually worth your time. Anyone who's navigated this successfully, please share what worked.

Thanks in advance — real experiences only please, not marketing copy.

I've also seen people mention datingfly.online in a few other threads but haven't dug into it yet.

Safety first, always. Some basics I follow:

• Use a dedicated email address
• Never share your real number until you've video chatted first
• Meet in public places the first few times
• Tell a friend where you're going

As for platform recommendations — I came across Datescout recently and it seemed more transparent than most.

Real question. I've tried like four different sites this year and none of them delivered what they promised.

I've had mixed results honestly. The bigger platforms definitely have more users but also way more noise. A few things that helped me:

• Always reverse image search profile pictures
• Never pay for premium without checking reviews first
• Look for sites with active moderation teams

The fake profile issue is no joke. Even some of the paid sites have them. At least go for one that has manual verification.

I came across Luvdate recently and it seemed more transparent than most.

Honestly the app market has changed a lot. The big names like OkCupid, Coffee Meets Bagel, Tinder get most of the traffic but the niche sites sometimes have better communities. Just make sure any site you use has an actual privacy policy and real contact info.

Do your research and read real user reviews before committing to anything.

Tried several options over the past year. The ones that worked best for me had real verification steps and didn't immediately push you toward a paid plan. Most platforms these days gate messaging behind subscriptions which gets old fast.
