Why People Are Leaving Traditional Random Chat Sites

Privacy Concerns

Read the current privacy policy and do not assume that “anonymous” marketing means no data is processed.

Weak Moderation

Check whether a service publishes rules and explains how to leave, report and block.

Outdated Technology

Confirm browser, camera, microphone and mobile-device support before relying on a service.

Hidden Costs & Time Limits

Review the current payment screen, renewal terms and any limits before starting a paid action.
