I was a member since 1999. PALSUCK/PALSCAM has always had issues. I won't even begin to tell you how horribly biased bigoted and bullying MOST room owners AND room admins are. 90% of them at the least SUCK. I can name rooms, owners and admin nics but the list would be way too long. YET THE WORST thing in the past few years is the amount of evil demon scammer scumbags that are on PALSUCK/PALSCAM Not only in rooms but in their "feed" as well. AND most rooms, owners and admins do NOTHING to or about them because it increases the room numbers. AND what's even worse is PALSUCK/PALSCAM itself, it's owner and administrators protect and defend these evil demon scammer scumbags. PALSUCK/PALSCAM has banned several nicnames I made just to mess with these scammers and point them out so maybe there are less good honest caring trusting people that don't get scammed and hurt. So much for that good versus evil campaign. As of 8/21/2022 they blocked me entirely from logging on no matter what nicname or device. They have deactivated every single account I have made in the past 22 yrs. They could care less about quality of people. They have NO morality and NO
Conscience! PALSUCK/PALSCAM DOES NOT CARE WHATSOEVER about real, good, honest people with integrity and morals. THEY ARE EVIL DEMON BUSINESS CHATHOLES and tell EVERYONE to NEVER EVER download their screwed up app and I HOPE PALSUCK/PALSCAM AND IT'S ADMINISTRATORS BURN IN HELL WITH ALL THE EVIL PEOPLE AND EVIL DEMON SCAMMER SCUMBAGS ON THERE WHO THEY PROTECT AND DEFEND FOR THE $$$ WHERE THEY ALL BELONG!

I was a regular member of Paltalk for 6 years. I still have 3 colored nicks which are active. I left Paltalk as a paying member as it wasn't worth constant emotional drain to put up with gangs of non paying toxic chatters who have been in Paltalk for 20 years in several sections who target me for speaking my mind about their toxic online activities which included extreme trolling, flaming, cyberbullying, abuse, harassment, scamming, breaking TOS and stalking on a constant basis. In 6 years some excellent chatters have left in disgust moved to other chat clients because they are targeted by drunks, scammers and extreme gang of trolls. This program is below average there's been chatters who have committed suicide because people have egged them on livestream. There are chatters in their 60s who DO NOT pay for Paltalk they have been on Paltalk for 10-20 years using free black nicknames constantly complaining about the new Paltalk. Classic Paltalk should be not operational because it's a program the toxic clique troublemakers use and it's not getting updated. The best thing about the new program is that you can put admins who are incompetent on ignore. There's a problem with toxic chatters allowed to admin because they abuse their power by unfairly dotting, bouncing and banning chatters and treating chatters as chew toys. I wrote to Paltalk ages ago about serious issues with several sections of Paltalk which have NEVER been addressed appropriately however some rooms and chatters get continually banned and then allowed to return and operate again- There's chatters who have been friends for over 20 years and have moved to Paltalk chat from Yahoo chat and some of these chatters have bad intentions from activities that seem illegal to mentally abusing others continually for their entertainment. When the help rooms were operational they were a joke and recently the help rooms were rarely staffed. The help rooms were often staffed by volunteers who didn't know what they are doing. The only thing Paltalk has done recently is surveys instead of logging in and witnessing issues at hand. At times Paltalk Terms Of Service rules are continually broken without any severe consequences. This is not a place for the weak minded or vulnerable as Paltalk isn't held responsible for another chatter's behavior towards you even if it's constant harassment, cyberbullying or abuse. As a chatter you waive your rights by signing the agreement not to sue Paltalk. However Paltalk should be responsible to provide a reasonable environment which isn't promoting a constant stream of cyberbullying and harassment that associates the program with a poor image. Chatters giving death threats should be permanently banned. In the religious section each room has a number of fake clone followers listed - however there's only about 30 people in each room and a low activity of chatter interacting in most rooms. Nicknames are cloned to make room numbers appear larger. There are NOT 5000 followers for each room in the religious section -that number is fraudulent. It seems there's a criminal element operating in Paltalk, these toxic chatters would think this is an excellent program because it's a lifestyle for them to hang out. There are certain sections of Paltalk where chronic potheads reside to sell drugs, take drugs on cam, and to be abusive and toxic to others. In some sections there's mentally ill chatters who have serious issues and take it out on other chatters by constant harassment. There are several alcoholics that take the mic in rooms and are very abusive, very combative, kill room numbers, rant and scream on mic. There's claims by Paltalk chatters who have had their computer hacked, their photos and information stolen. Toxic chat gangs have doxed new chatters and chatters they do not like and their personal information posted on Paltalk. Also claims that chatter's webcam are hacked. Microphone conversations are recorded and posted to YouTube and replayed on Paltalk without permission. Warning to newbies this program should never be used as a dating site or to meet anyone in real, there's too many unstable toxic chatters who don't have the right intentions and are predatory no one is screened on this program there's ex felons. The quality chatrooms are on a severe decline, chatters are leaving in vast numbers. A Paltalk subscription isn't expensive for chatters that use it extensively, what is expensive is wasting precious time with drunks, drug addicts, predators, scammers, severely mentally ill who's lifestyle is being on Paltalk 24/7 who use it as an outlet for abuse. So many changes needed for Paltalk to be safe, fun and for users to pay for subscriptions. Private rooms aren't a solution, the solution would be to weed out the bad apples

If you can find some friends and a half-way decent room, then you could be content for a while. Those places, however, are few-and-far-between.

Paltalk loves to advertise that they have over 100,000 people online at any given time, but you will only ever see a small fraction in your own language. Even then, the rooms are plagued with people coming online just to masturbate on cam, play pornographic videos, or harass foreigners. I supposed they can't be blamed for other people's actions but considering how trivially easy it is to sign up for an account, it makes me wonder if they allow this behavior just to keep their numbers up. Read the other reviews of people's experience and you'll begin to see a trend.

Be very careful if you plan on spending any money with Paltalk as you will find them to be very money hungry and quite nefarious in their methods for getting it from you. Once you spend your money, you might as well consider it gone and try to get as much use out of it as you can because they love to tout "all sales are final" when you realize you've been duped. Also, Paltalk is headquartered in Istanbul so your options are very limited if you want to try and recover your hard-earned cash.

Virtual gifts and virtual credits are temporary and they don't tell you that until AFTER you've bought them! So, if you spend $150 to buy 5,000 credits, you only have 30 days to use them before they take them from you. Even if you do use them, say on virtual gifts to give people, those gifts are also temporary and will expire leaving you with absolutely nothing for your investment. Also, when you're purchasing your credits, you have to manually OPT-OUT from them automatically renewing your purchase after you've used them up or they've expired.

Their credits are massively inflated. 5,000 credits at $150 means you spent around $0.33 per credit. Now, to gift someone an Extreme subscription' for ONE MONTH, you would have to use 3,042 credits (roughly $92) whereas buying (in cash) someone the same subscription for an ENTIRE YEAR, would only cost you $59.95. You would have spent 53% more for a drastically shorter subscription than you would have just by paying with cash.

One more note on purchasing, if you buy anything (credits, colored nicks, rooms, etc), and then the next day they decide to run a sale, you're locked into your original purchase with the familiar "all sales are final" response. They will not refund you the difference, and they will not add your purchase to the sale. You are stuck with what you got.

Be careful with the rooms you're visiting. There are a small handful of fairly decent rooms, but this place is ripe with people who are only online just to insult you. Given that, and the fact that the majority of the rooms are nothing but music rooms, it can take you quite a long time to find somewhere worth your while.

If you do decide to try out Paltalk, I wish you the best of luck and hope you find somewhere good to settle into. However, be careful with what you talk about as the veterans may warn that Paltalk is rumored to ban people (with no refund) for talking about other chat platforms.

Full of pedos and pervs

Don't use Paltalk they will spam you.
