Roughly my read too, with how the pricing behaves once you are invested as the caveat.
My rule for the room now is simple: check what the free ceiling looks like in practice on day one.
My first week on the site looked promising; by the second I was only really watching how far the free tier actually stretches.
If you care about whether the moderation is real or decorative, that alone should decide whether the stream is worth it.
What decided it for me with it was whether the free version is a demo or a product.
Once I fixed my filters, whether the safety tooling is more than a checkbox stopped being the bottleneck on the room.
Most comparisons of the stream skip what the subscription actually unlocks, which is the part that matters.
Datedesire's free tier came up when I asked the same question last year.
