@Nicole put it better than I would. The only thing I would add about video call dating is that what the gender ratio looks like locally matters more than the feature list.
Tried video call dating across the first ten conversations and honestly what actually happened was roughly the same either way.
What I actually want to know about video call dating is what the reply rate looks like without photos.
If anyone has tested call dating properly, I want to know how it behaves after a month of use.
Where call dating either works or falls apart is how the algorithm treats a new account.
For me the detail that took longest to learn with call dating is what the daily limits feel like in use.
If you want the practical bits on video call dating:
- If video call dating is your only option, at least compare two platforms side by side
- The detail that decides it is what decides whether video call dating is worth it
- On video call dating, how the pattern went was noticeably thinner than in a big city compared with the alternatives
