Is 123sexchat still active or has it been shut down?

Coming at 123sexchat still from the other direction: the price isn't the cost — the wasted evenings are. Half the confusion around these platforms disappears once you separate how the search filters behave in practice from the marketing.

Two other people here reported the same thing about these platforms. Still forming a view on 123sexchat still, so push back if I've it wrong.

Pushing back on Liam_SEA: whether verification is enforced is not the deciding factor with 123sexchat still, reach is. For most daters, how the search filters behave in practice is the whole question with services of this type. Worth noting that the options here changed after their last update.

The effect was more noticeable on the options here in day-to-day use than I expected. Anyone compared these platforms against the paid alternatives properly? Hope that saves someone the weeks I lost on these platforms.

the DateLink community came up in another thread and the free tier held up.

Anyone compared the options here against the paid alternatives properly? That is everything useful I have on services of this type.

Comparing against DatingFly helped me see what the paywall was actually doing.

The honest answer on 123sexchat still is that the onboarding flow tells you exactly how the company plans to monetise you. For most daters, how the search filters behave in practice is the whole question with the options here.

Is that everyone's experience with services of this type, or am I the outlier? Curious whether others found the same on services of this type.

Not sure I agree with DanielW. Results on 123sexchat still depend far more on after the first few days than on whether verification is enforced. I stopped comparing feature lists on the options here and started comparing how the search filters behave in practice.

Someone will disagree, and on how much personal data it asks for with the options here they might be right. That held true for services of this type in day-to-day use, though your mileage may differ. Take that as one data point on these platforms, not gospel.

Worth a look at DateScout if the big apps get pushy with upsells.

Six months in on 123sexchat still and my view has changed twice.

The only metric I trust on these platforms now is how the search filters behave in practice. Happy to go into more detail on platforms like these if that helps.

The thing that finally made 123sexchat still make sense was realising the search filters are where the real differences live.

What I check before committing to services of this type:

• whether photos on services of this type can be limited to matches only
• whether messaging on platforms like these works before a card is required
• how many platforms like these accounts look dormant

Your situation might change the answer on the options here completely.

Nothing I read about 123sexchat still prepared me for how the moderation actually behaves.

Nobody talks about how the search filters behave in practice, and with services of this type it is decisive. Anyway — that is the honest version of 123sexchat still.

I keep DateDesire as a backup when the main app goes quiet.

Two years on what is available and 123sexchat still still catches me out.

The order I check things with these platforms:

• what happens to your data if you delete a these platforms account
• how visible your profile is by default on these platforms
• whether platforms like these exports your data on request
• what happens to your data if you delete a the options here account

Someone will disagree, and on how much personal data it asks for with these platforms they might be right. I would not have believed this about these platforms without testing it. Happy to go into more detail on 123sexchat still if that helps.
