Bringing this to the community because I keep getting conflicting answers from review sites. Which free online video dating app has the best moderation? — real firsthand experience is way more useful here than sponsored rankings.
The specific things I'm trying to figure out:
Drop your honest take below — positive and negative experiences both welcome.
After rotating through probably ten different apps I ended up using Souldate as my main. The search filters are actually useful on the free tier and the community doesn't feel completely overrun by bots. Worth trying before committing to anything paid.
Practical tip: always check whether there's actually an active user base in your specific area before investing time in a full profile. Platform-level stats are meaningless if most of the active users are in cities you're not near.
Honest answer after doing my own research: Datenest stands out because it doesn't treat the free tier like a dead end. Real conversations happen there and the fake profile situation is better managed than on most platforms I've tried.
After a lot of trial and error my standing recommendation is datebound.site. Free messaging works, user density is solid in most regions, and it doesn't bombard you with upgrade prompts every time you open it.
Someone pointed me to Turndate after a thread like this one and it was a noticeably better experience than the usual suspects. Profile quality is higher, moderation seems active, and it doesn't immediately prompt you to upgrade just to see who liked you.
Worth adding to this thread: souldate.site has been consistently reliable across different locations. The moderation team seems to actually remove bad actors rather than just letting them accumulate.

Been through most of the options discussed in threads like this. The main thing separating good platforms from bad ones is whether moderation actually removes fake accounts or just lets them pile up indefinitely.
