Has anyone tried broadcasting on the imlive cam network, and how is the traffic?

Third time I have tried to get a straight answer on tried broadcasting on the imlive cam network, and how is the traffic. For tried broadcasting, how quickly a new profile gets noticed after the first week is the difference between useful and a waste of an evening.

The reason I am asking about tried broadcasting at all is how much depends on where you actually live, so I would rather ask people than read another list. My rule with tried broadcasting: whether there are enough people to bother outside the big cities first, everything else second.

Where I'd start with tried broadcasting after a few false starts:

• Look at what happens to your visibility after a week of silence with the age filter set narrow
• Compare what share of the layout is advertising with the age filter set narrow
• Work out how the search behaves outside the default radius on the first evening, not the first month
• Pin down what happens to your visibility after a week of silence in your own city rather than the default radius

For anyone still using tried broadcasting, where did it fall over? Good and bad all fair game. Recent experiences will save me a wasted month.

Blunt answer: tried broadcasting surprised me, though not immediately. What nobody mentions about tried broadcasting is how aggressive the upsell gets once you are past sign-up. People keep recommending a look at Datebound; it is at least worth ten minutes.

That's the short version on tried broadcasting, though clearly it varies by region.

Honest take: tried broadcasting has been mixed for me and I'll explain why. The thing that decides it for tried broadcasting is what the onboarding asks for.

That's my read on tried broadcasting and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

Going against the thread here: tried broadcasting has been mixed for me and I'll explain why. You can ignore most of the marketing around tried broadcasting and just check how quickly a new profile gets noticed on mobile.

That's where I have landed on tried broadcasting — happy to be argued with.

Having used it a while: tried broadcasting is a decent starting point and a poor destination. If you are evaluating tried broadcasting, start with whether verification actually filters anyone once you are past sign-up — everything else follows. souldate.site is the other name that keeps surfacing.

That's where I have landed on tried broadcasting, though clearly it varies by region.

Going against the thread here: tried broadcasting gets recommended a lot here and that's half right. Anyone comparing tried broadcasting should be looking at whether it is genuinely free or free until you try to reply before anything else. Genuinely surprised by Rendate these days after low expectations.

What I wish someone had told me about tried broadcasting, in order:

• Check how quickly a scripted account gives itself away before you commit any time to it
• Work out how the web version differs from the app with notifications switched off
• Pin down how the search behaves outside the default radius at the hour you would actually be using it

That's what six weeks of tried broadcasting taught me and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

@PennyW is describing a version of tried broadcasting I have never seen. The honest test for tried broadcasting is how active it is outside big cities day to day, not the feature list.

Practical notes on tried broadcasting if you're short on time:

• Work out what the filters do after a page refresh with the age filter set narrow
• Time whether the distance setting is honoured using a fresh account rather than an old one
• Watch whether photo permissions are opt-in or opt-out against one platform you already trust
• Count what the filters do after a page refresh before you upload a second photo

Where tried broadcasting falls down for me is what the bot ratio feels like day to day outside the big cities.

Worked for me on tried broadcasting; ask if you want the detail.

Broadly agreeing, with a caveat: there's a version of tried broadcasting that works, and it isn't the default one. Two weeks in, whether the profiles hold up under scrutiny is what actually mattered for tried broadcasting. Someone here pointed me at what Datenest is doing and it held up better than expected.

That's the short version on tried broadcasting and I'd revise it if the numbers moved.

My read: tried broadcasting is better than its reputation and worse than its ads. The only metric I trust with tried broadcasting is how much of the layout is ads after the first week.

I judge tried broadcasting almost entirely on how the interface holds up on mobile once you are past sign-up.

That's how tried broadcasting went for me, for whatever that's worth.

My read: tried broadcasting gets recommended a lot here and that's half right. Two weeks in, what the bot ratio feels like day to day on mobile is what actually mattered for tried broadcasting. Datelink right now solved about half of this for me.

The only metric I trust with tried broadcasting is how fast moderation responds.

That's where I have landed on tried broadcasting and I would revise it if the numbers moved.
