That matches what I saw on it, particularly what you lose by never upgrading.
My rule for Camsoda now is simple: check whether it thins out after the first week on day one.
Took me about 2 weeks on Camsoda to work out that the real question was how well it holds up once the novelty fades.
Provided whether people reply or just collect matches holds up, it's a reasonable place to start.
Where Camsoda stands or falls is how the platform handles repeat offenders.
Is Camsoda still like this, or has it improved?
