“Love It”

Natalie G.
11/15/22

I love y99 because it gives you the chance to talk to other people without sharing any personal information. This gives you a chance to get to know the person without it being creepy and them having your personal information let alone you can find people your own age to talk to with similar experience.

“The hacker hacking and harassing users and falsely reporting ppl hundreds of times”

The hacker hacking and harassing users and falsely reporting people hundreds of times so they get banned / turned invisible in pms and rooms (messages show up for u but no one sees them) because of lazy staff not reading context, someone with enough time and money should sue them for negligence i know of at least 5 accounts this happened to and the same individual got them all banned after harassing them if he couldn't hack them to delete them or turn their accounts into new troll accounts. DO YOUR $#*!ING JOBS

I wouldn't recommend this site to anybody trying to protect their privacy, integrity, and sanity. The mods and regulars harass and humiliate innocent people. They proudly discuss all the dirty details about their "conquests" in a very distasteful manner. Most of them are misogynistic pigs trying to humiliate minors and women. They share inappropriate material between them and invade user's privacy. As soon as you figure their nasty dynamic out, they try to bully your way out of the site. I wouldn't use it even if I were paid to do so. A friendly piece of advice, stay away from it!

Site staff was allowing other room owners to sexually harass people, Blackmail them, and threaten them. Yet they banned other people for doing even smaller offenses. They definitely pick favorites and I wouldn't recommend being on the site

This is not at all safe for people, especially the minors that are on this site. This site mostly has older men looking for sex, nudes, etc even with underage folk. It's disgusting.

I joined thinking I could chat to other fellow LGBTIQA+ people. Unknown to me, but established, is that the site is actually ran covertly by a group of straight probably preditor types who have an objective to make you feel bad about who you are. There are legitimate members however, and they deserve to be separated.

The site is pretty good for normal things like chatting and getting to know people. There are several rooms, and i mean like more than 50% just for sexting and other horny business. Even in the normal rooms, there are people advertising themselves in the mere hope of getting a girl to dm them. Some of them are minors too.
Conclusion is that it can be a great site for meeting people and just wasting your time, but the amount of creeps is insane.
Also very addicting :) if you make some friends, you'll probably come back

if your a girl always make sure they share age before you because the copy your age.

A lot of NSFW chat rooms on this site and most of them are full of underaged people and predators if you see this in your kids phone block the site emediately this is the problem with sites that allow you to chat, share pictures and video chat without registering. Do not go here

Tip for consumers:
This sites admins should be disgusted with themselves letting children ln there and post $#*! like that

Don't come here if you're wanting to protect your privacy from people who don't care about respecting your privacy. If you're using a V. P. N., the administrator will ban your I. P. address because the administrator doesn't respect your privacy. Which tells me that this website is not safe for me since someone tried to intrude into my personal life because they banned my I. P. address because I used a V. P. N. To protect my privacy. People and governments are what I don't trust completely. So, I wouldn't trust them knowing my I. P. address. Otherwise, this chat room website is filled with trolls, mediocre memes, thirsty guys who don't talk to other guys because they're really looking for sex with sexually exploitable girls to benefit their macho man personalities, and other things. All of those things make me come to the conclusion that I won't be missing much anyway since I got my I. P. address banned.

Aside from the Lobby, most rooms are very inactive, unless you're digging into those that have age restrictions where, if you're in the younger pool, are fool of creeps that are clearly trying their luck with different aliases, or if you're in the older pool, are not the best choice for SFW conversations. It's almost as if being 21+ means you MUST be into naughty chats. Gross.

There are prejudiced people here, as the internet is wont to host, but Y99 either lacks moderators or has a severe case of "if I ignore it, it doesn't exist" problem with its staff members. And by prejudiced, I don't mean personal beef. This is literally religion, race and political discourse that should have no place in a chatroom that isn't dedicated to social issue topics.

The interface looks like it would be better off as a mobile app. Right now, it looks underdeveloped, and has been for a year at least now. Buying premium at a minimum of $1 a month gives you different perks. The more you pay them monthly, the more perks you get, but the perks are your usual colours in names, or having priority in the active list. Nothing else. Not worth the money because there is no love poured into the site from the looks of it.

Honestly a disappointment.

Tip for consumers:
Have very low or better yet zero expectations.

It is way too easy to interact with minors. A lot of users are here for sexual pleasure/ blackmail. However it is relatively easy to report users of inappropriate intentions. I only hope that all reports are taken seriously and forwarded to legal teams for further investigation.

This is a chatroom supposedly. But like many others, you're not going to get noticed unless you spend months or even years of your time trying to get noticed (unless you're a loser, you're not going to do that). The interface is very basic. No users seem to want to engage in any serious debate, instead just say "hi" repeatedly...

They have added a "audio clip" function, but it requires users to (god forbid) actually click to hear it, I think it should play on auto because literally no one plays it voluntarily. If it was on autoplay, unless they block u, you will be heard no matter what. No conversations of substance, long pauses where no one is really interested in the chat, just a bunch of bored people, possibly basement dwellers, jobless or after-school teenagers, eventually just inducing a headache to the more intelligent among us.

The chatrooms that seem to have hundreds of people in, predominantly have an immature high-school clique premade that is hostile to new users, some rooms openly ban you for using the audio feature?!

Overall, having visited on 5 seperate occassions, what is clearer to me now is that comments are only useful to specific video/audio content or clips taken out of context, I cannot recommend this website for any meaningful conversation when you have the scrubs of humanity given mod powers with barely an IQ to rub rocks together with. It is a complete waste of time, but in the end that seems to be the end-goal of low-calibre chatrooms like these... The only possible usage could be to hold a private- invitation only chat to your friends/colleagues.

You can hold a conference call and make a custom chat exclusive and specific ie a business meeting, similar function to Microsoft Teams, that is possible, but it's never used like that. It's used for strangers to talk nonsense and ignore any sentence longer than 5 words

Avoid, nothing good will come out from it except frustration

I came here to make friends, but since I'm a female, they automatically got horny.

I've found a few good people and I get attached easily, but after knowing that they only act nice to me in the beginning just to ask for something from me in the end, it makes me feel sick. I only wanted friends. PLEASE, I just wanted friends — why can't they be normal? I have attachment issues, so it upsets me that they'd break my trust like that! I hate, hate, HATE how men here only want one thing from us women even though we only want friends. I feel betrayed by them all.

I'm 18. Female. If you're my age, same gender as me, and wants to make friends here, please please please— don't go to this site, find an another site that's not Y99. Men here are all manipulators and will play with your feelings especially if you're this young like me! The older men like their prey young! Trust me, I'm speaking from experience. It HURTS knowing that I thought of them as a friend but they only see me as a new female prey, they don't see me the same way as I do with them. And when I thought we were good friends because our conversations always turn out friendly in the end, the men would immediately unfriend me or leave me right after I got offline just because they wanted sext partners and expected me to be sexual, they don't want friendly chatmates AT ALL! I feel betrayed, and upset. I hate this site with ALL my heart.

This site is traumatizing and it will forever not heal the scar that the people here have caused on me. Please, STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE!

Despite how many people feel towards chatrooms, I have to say that y99.in is not the only website offering something similar in the sense of a chat site that anyone can join. Obviously there comes the danger of people lying but that is where it becomes your own job to distinguish whether someone is real or not, it isn't up to the website to keep you safe so I would take those complaining about that sort of things with a pinch of salt. Just ask yourself, how do you stay safe on websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and even maybe Discord? The website doesn't tell you someone is dangerous, you have to find out yourself and so it should be the same thing when it comes to sites like chatrooms.

As for my criticism, I don't think it needs any with the website being very well designed for anyone to navigate. I often find discord overwhelming with all of the diagonal views and so having everything laid out in front of you makes things the all more greater for accessing what you need. I love how they integrate other features though such as call, a memes sections and the ability to make your own rooms. Its reminds me a little bit of an old website I used to use called E-Chat, it wasn't very safe, less safe than this but the ability to meet new people every time you went online is something I will never forget, it also helped that only 200 people could be in a server at once.

On y99.in you do not have such restrictions but it has the same charm and I love that, while I can completely understand that people don't enjoy being able to be spoken to at any moment, thats what chatrooms are for, I find chatroom websites fun because often I am alone and don't have anyone to speak with, so when I am suddenly able to chat with people on a full chatroom with similar interests or hobbies it makes me feel good and not lonely anymore. Just a small chat with a bunch of strangers can go a long way because it isn't like your going to meet any of these people ever again unless you are a recurring person.

Even though I said to expect the unsafeness of the website, it is still an issue, and will remain an issue until the end of time but with that being said I give this site a 3 star rating, its easy and friendly for new users who may not have used a chatroom before. With a variety of features such as VC, an anonymous public draw board, a bunch of chatrooms, a meme wall where you can post memes and have them reviewed like you would on reddit, its just pure fun and I don't see how someone could get upset over that. Its just like any other place on the internet in regards to safety but its purely in your own hands if you for some reason give a stranger your address or something. Its YOUR FAULT. NOT THE WEBSITE.

I'm only 17 and my writing is rubbish but I hope my review was helpful! I love this website: 3

Just be cool :)
