After a month of steady use with free video chatting, how it played out was uneven depending on the hour.
The fix that worked on free video chatting was simple enough — give it a full week before judging it.
Nobody writing about free video chatting seems willing to say whether free means free or just free to browse.
The part I keep getting stuck on with video chatting is whether you can message first without paying.
For me the part I got wrong at first with video chatting is how the tone shifts late at night.
If anyone has tested video chatting properly, I want to know how the tone shifts late at night.
If free video chatting is the sticking point, this one handles it without an upgrade prompt.
Boiled down, free video chatting came to this:
- Do not judge it on the first evening; with free video chatting it costs you about a fortnight
- The part I got wrong at first on free video chatting turned out to be noticeably thinner than in a big city
- The failure mode with free video chatting is when you pay before you have tested the free side
