Started looking into streamate expensive last month and the more I read the less certain I am. For me the deciding factor on streamate expensive is whether people still log in.
You can usually tell within a week whether the whole thing is going to work for live rooms. I stopped worrying about the usual suspects and started judging on real activity levels instead, which helped. What I want out of it is live rooms without a long runway. Especially keen on input from people using these sites.
Still open to being talked out of my position on streamate expensive.
