I did some digging before posting but couldn't find anything recent enough to be useful. Hoping this community has some current experience to share.
The number of platforms out there is honestly overwhelming and the quality gap between them is massive. Some are clearly just trying to extract credit card info, some are ghost towns, and a handful are genuinely worth your time. The hard part is telling them apart without wasting money in the process.
Buffering is almost always a connection issue rather than a platform issue at this point.
The specific things I'm trying to nail down:
- Difference between free and paid features in practice
- Mobile app quality and reliability
- Support response time
- How active the moderation team actually is
Would really appreciate hearing from people who have actually used these and can give honest feedback rather than just repeating what the marketing says.
