I don't see that there is a problem.

We can use it for free if we don't mind being open. I've been in several open rooms and never had any sort of problem.

If you want your privacy strongly enough that you are prepared to pay for it, then do so. I don't, so I won't. Paltalk is providing a service for us, and still giving us the option of using it free under certain restrictions. Am I missing something? Is there really something to get our knickers in a twist about here? Please tell me.
