The advantages and disadvantages of Chaturbate
The big advantage is that the webcam shows are hosted by real members and not by professional hosts. The fact that the portal can be used free of charge also speaks for Chaturbate in any case.
The disadvantages are that the majority of users come from the USA or other countries and the number of German users is still very low. Especially in the chat, this can lead to some communication problems.
