Video feels real — until it doesn't.

Random cameras mean pressure to look a certain way, and way more unwanted content.

Text lowers the stakes.

Be yourself, take a second to think, and leave instantly if it's not right. No camera anxiety.

Better for shy people.

Typing is easier than talking when you're nervous — and it puts everyone on equal footing.

Try text-first chat.

All the thrill of meeting a stranger, none of the camera pressure.
