It's from the Cartoon show "Osomatsu-san" from episode 10. I added the text so yeah basically I "made" it. I just watched this episode last night and I fell in love with it as it's very accurate to my situation most of the time.

I'm pissy that other women make enough money in camming that they can't just pay their bills but also pay their plastic surgeries while I can't pay either of them. I wanted plastic surgery a long time ago since I got body issues since kindergarten but camming is not paying my bills since I started almost 3 years ago from now. I feel like I'm wasting my time camming but I'm simply not beautiful enough to make a living off of it. I see the end coming anyways :'( I tried my best to work on two cam sites but Trump made a law (Fosta/Sessta) that destroyed my dream of independence. Had to stop working on Streamate as the checks they provide are expensive to cash out in my country. I'm at the end of my nerves. I'm an embarassement of my family. The black sheep. A nobody.

I get my Steamate income via Paxum. I'm in Asia and the Paxum card works well. I do my shopping (online and local supermarket) and most bill paying with it. They are a bit slow sending out cards, but perhaps it could be an option for you.

Hey, I remember i told u Cosmopay is available in ur country in Europe same like Paxum, dont give up on a cam site like SM just because checks are not okay for you, you have options.
Yeah, i am not the typical beauty either but i do make a living on cam for the last 18 years, even i dont bank i do ok for my needs here in E.Europe, the US dollars are of nice value here.
Sorry for the way u feel, just carry on and make urself pleasant on cam, u dont need to be very beautiful to make money, sure, is easier and faster to make money when u have all u need but hey, dont get discouraged, only if u knew how many times i was crying my eyes out for all the insults, rejection in real life or on cam, for not having the right tits for this job or for not being beautiful enough... i am still here fighting all the minuses and focusing on the positives. Good luck!

I'm new to camming. I made 3 dollars yesterday on Streamate working 6 hours. It may be rough but I left my day job crying the other day. I cannot take the politics on my day job right now. I'm not the strongest person but I'm not weak either. I rather put up with cheap people, trolls and slow days than bullshit ass kissing and moving from job to job because of politics. People say that it takes costumers 7 times coming across a product to make a purchase and thats the attitude I'm bringing here.
I am so exhausted, between working my day jobs and trying to cam regularly but ladies I want to be self employed so bad. I still don't have enough money to cam full time and in the meantime I'm still applying to 2 more day jobs and on my days off I want to cam at least 10 hours a day to find my audience. Also I have a very specific niche which I tought would put me ahead easier but oh well. I'm a crossdresser but I look trans.
If any of you ladies know some trans girls willing to help me out with some advice would you let me know?
Thank you to all of you who take time to post things here!
Hi there, I have a crossdressing friend who has done well in domination...maybe that's something you could try?

So on top of shark week starting this morning, with absolutely no warning and on the week that I need to work the most, one of my regulars just attempted to scam me into giving him a session for free. Just wow. I can't even find the words to describe just how disgusted I am with men. I'm on cam, trying to smile my way through the cramps and the fuckery, and now this shit. What a great way to start September! :censored:

It's been so bad that despite my mental illness I'm thinking about doing an education next year as I just don't have any joy for camming anymore and it ruins my mood on a weekly basis. Camming is not the same as it was when I first started.

Paxum is stupid and wants to have an address proof which I don't have. I couldn't find the address proof on my passport or anywhere which makes me angry! Paxum also seems complicated when I tried to get the stuff they want and I hate to trust another credit card website and I don't understand half of the complicated words written on this site. Look what happened to FCP. I'm NOT going to fall for another credit card company again that tricks us and take sour money away!

My first day on Chaturbate and I immediately ran into my first “helpful” guest. You know the kind, he just wants to give you friendly advice and look out for the new girl. I must have looked like an easy target because I didn’t understand how prvt shows worked.
The moment we get into a prvt chat together he was like “okay now strip”.
Me: Absolutely, I’ll do whatever you tip for.
Guy: LOL you don’t know how this works huh?
Me: It works just like the other 3 sites that I’m on, you tip if you want to play.
Guy: *pause in the chat*
Guy: Too many scammers, a lot of girls like to accept tips but then they don’t do what they agreed to do
Me: I agree, there ARE a lot of scammers. Especially the ones who like to get girls naked, inspect their uterus, and have them fuck dildos for 15 min straight while only tipping one tkn.
Guy: *pause in chat*
Guy: I guess I’m just used to being a dom and taking control...
Around this time in the convo is when I re-opened public chat and banned that guy. I would have fallen for the okey doke when I was new. But today, when I really needed to make some money, it just ran me hot to even hold half of a conversation with someone who clearly thought I was a dumbass. He saw my face and thought “dumbass”, and that’s what REALLY twists me up. Uugghh.
Add the fact that I only made 37 dollars on SM today and I’m burnt. But it’s Labor Day. I have to believe that was the reason.

Look what happened to FCP. I'm NOT going to fall for another credit card company again that tricks us and take sour money away!
Paxum is not perfect, but let's put this into perspective. I used FCP and Paxum both for over over 4 years. I prefered Paxum for reasons that are irrelevant now as only Paxum survives. After Choice Bank when under in April, I recovered all of my FC card money as all the money was always sent directly to my card as there was no bank account... and we had time to withdraw it... which I did immediately.
Paxum used the same bank, Choice Bank, so they had to cancel the old cards and issue the new temporary ones that we currently use. There was also plenty of time to withdraw all money on the old card - so no harm there either.
Now, for obvious reasons, when FCP went down, the new card issuing process took a long time. First they had to find a bank, then issue new cards to every single member, plus process zillions of new applications from people who were desperate for a payment method after FCP when belly up. That took quite a lot of patience, but obviously they had to service their existing customers before helping new ones. They did send out these cards free. They also added a year of validity to them, so these temporary cards are valid for 3 years, not the usual 2. That's a bonus as I won't be waiting for a new card until 2021.
I received my new card on June 20, now, after about 2 1/2 months I have used my new card about 60 times. I don't use it at the ATM, but POS and online shopping as that gives me a better exchange rate. I have not had one single problem with it. The only problem now is that I need to request an updated transaction statement every week (up to you when you want them), but once you get used to it, it's not too bad.
As wire transfers are too costly to my location and I don't like the transfer to credit card method and other methods are unavailable to me, I prefer to spend on the card for the best possible value.
There is nothing "stupid" about it. Passports don't have addresses. Your address has to be verified by an official document. I used a bank statement to verify my home address. Most banks want people's home addresses, so that's not difficult.
I have Chaturbate and SM money sent to Paxum. It's quick and easy. When you get the money you can transfer $500 per day to your card. I'd be lost without Paxum.

Adultwork...it's quite fetish orientated. You need a passport if you're outside the UK though and they've recently stopped hosting US cammers because of FOSTA.

Hi DahliaSimone. Yes it suck my butt hurts sitting so long. I got fed up. Non speakers non tippers. Bring my good old spenders back. I think too what it is girls are telling there percentage to customers, they literally tell the percentage they get because the guys be like why your rates so high. I hear numerous of performers sit in free chat and tell how much percentage they make. That's why I think also Streamate put no outside contact. Ye I get it we all done things but, I tell them, don't you work a regular job,and there's always a middleman ,whether it's the IRS State Taxes etc.
Well then same here.I tell them the company is the middleman,you think we on here doing whatever we want and not get caught and earn 100 percent of it.
DUH Wrong. They do that so they sit and find out why and whats the deal with CAMMING. I tell them I been doing this so long,I take this seriously.

I'm with you :( This job used to be mentally healing now it's mentally destructing me slowly...Idk what happened this industry used to be soooo fun but since 1 year it's getting worse and worse. Only winter can often save me. Spring is not always super bad too. But summer is the worst ever...Not even last year summer was bad or 2 years ago...

Thank you very much :) Highly appreciated!! I m not on Twitter that much, though but I love retweeting the other ladies with which I have contact with so tag me in your tweets, ladies as long as they are non nude. Been shadow banned on almost all twitter accounts several times in the past for the exact same reason.
Glad you like my little membership site, I guess you ve seen this one is through ModelCentro. I ve been having my fair share of glitches with them too. One glitch took a few months to get fixed as it came withe the theme I picked and kept appearing one and off. Was so annoying but it passed.
Sorry to hear you lost your previous site. I guess you quit the site? I m trying to remember what happened in 2016, as I know every year there s something negative, this one was with FirstChoicePay.
You can try doing it again because you put some vanilla, sexy or explicit videos now and then on your future sites and in my case, guys from my camming sites have seen the link on my twitter bio and jumped in through organic search or whatever, I never redirect them to break the rules.

I hate when that happens... Really screws with my self esteem. A couple nights ago I kept getting guys who complimented me in free chat and then went private and were really mean. One guy in particular (who I was looking forward to doing a show with, because he was so nice in free chat) had me do a bj show and then while I was really putting some sexy effort in he types "lol you remind me of my ex wife. She was horrible at sucking cock. NEXT." *exits show*
The "NEXT" in all caps really caught me off guard and made me feel shitty. Fuck that guy. Hope his dick falls off.

Don't forget that a lot of guys get off (physically) to trolling and humiliating girls. I believe there's a porn out there where the guy roasts the girl to make her feel like shit about herself before fucking her. Never take any of these fucks personally, 90% don't even know what a bj feels like unless it's from their brother. Fuck those assholes ;D
