Close to my view, except on whether the filters survive a refresh.
The reason I stopped recommending some of these is whether the interface gets in the way.
Two of us compared notes on the chat and landed in the same place on whether the interface gets in the way.
Given how whether the filters survive a refresh behaves, I would only recommend that one to someone with patience.
Most comparisons of the room skip whether the search actually respects what you set, which is the part that matters.
Reply rate on the chat roughly doubled once I stopped leading with a compliment, though whether the interface gets in the way never budged.
That is my read on Chatrandom anyway, others will have had different luck.
