I don't understand your first question.... I didn't say it was me, I said others are saying this.... I'm still trying to figure out wtf to do over here because my income just basically got cut in HALF!! >:(

Looks like instead of it being basically the same thing as cams, they are turning PlayWithMe into an adult Twitch.
That's is funny when I sent an email to be in the beta for this - cams claimed they never posted this in the models log in page. When I know they did.
If this is true and sticks around it will be interesting being on cam while I play super mario and GTA on top of my voyeur cams coming in this week.
I'm actually laughing my ass off. Not only did Twitch appropriate cam modeling, but now we're reclaiming it by needing a new feature on cam sites to become Twitch streamers that can be topless? Sounds cool, Steve! What a joke.
Nothing against the idea itself, but this dude seriously can't help himself when it comes to talking down to models and displaying his own ego. Basically... Why don't models see that they need to stand out in order to be successful? It's so obvious, but they won't do any research, and all they do is copy one another. On the other hand, I'm smart, persistent, innovative, and know about pop culture trends. My favorite activity is about to become the hottest money-generating trend in camming. Yay!
Also, this quote: "If you look at what teens are doing now, you can see the trends that will influence what is going to be happening in the camming industry. They are the future customers, and trendsetters for technology." I don't totally disagree, but the sentiment feels a little creepy, like marketing cigarettes with cartoon characters because children are tomorrow's smokers. I hope he's talking about 18-19 year olds, but it kinda doesn't seem that way... I'd also argue that the things you like when you're a kid with no credit card will probably change when you become legal and have money - kids jerking off to the Victoria's Secret catalog weren't a sign that Playboy needed to radically alter it's approach to be more like VS.
We don't really know much about Steve we know he is young at the company, just based on that youtube live they had. who knows he could have been a long time customer for streamray/cams and saw a job posting one day. instead of him becoming a male cam model, he went and sent in his resume.
I've met some of the people who are in the offices for the adult content sites. they sit behind computers all day looking at stats and keywords. So that is where they come up with a lot of theory and speculate on everything.
There are a lot of moving parts for cam sites. and the older sites have a lot to do to stay around longer. it's way more then just keeping models happy, its also keeping their legacy.
Thanks for posting this article.
If it were true, I'd be a top model. It doesn't get more niche than cosplaying as Slave Leia, The Scarlet Witch, Psylock, prison babe etc. with a greenscreen background that matches said cosplay. Every fucking day, different cosplay.
I was reprimanded on my birthday for interacting with my toys in free chat. I was probably doing mini blow jobs to drum up some business, as I split cam and this site is NOT a significant part of my income. IDK I mean I can certainly take responsibility and follow the sites TOS but it just rubbed me the wrong way that I got a warning instead of a Happy Birthday. I'll probably post a mini rant on this whole birthday thing elsewhere, but in the meantime of all the platforms I am on Bonga was the ONLY platform to say Happy Birthday. Its something small but it made a difference for me.
Alyssa, that kind of surprises me since I've been watching fully nude models laying back with the pink vibe toy, in Free Chat, giving free cum shows, so a mini BJ is too much? I get that rules are rules, but odd what I'm seeing models here post they're getting reprimanded for when some are able to do as they please
Because of how and when they catch people. Plus if there are no mods on the site , they relie on people sending them screen shots to make the warnings valid.
Sometimes you can ask them for proof of the warning they are claiming and they usually will send you a screen shot of it. That how I learned about screen capture software when it happened to me when I Was started on the site.
Everytime Steve speaks I roll my eyes... I don't understand for the life of me why they don't have a woman.. Not trying to be a sexist... but what does he know about how women interact with men.. I have come across lots of men in my 15 yrs of camming that have absolutely NO clue whatsoever what turns them on about women.. Who is this guy to tell women what men want.. tbh he sounds like a selfish brat.. as is most of the customers I deal with all day.. Please please please men.. Now I need to go run off and learn how to play video games because he likes that?... Am I marrying my customers? so now I have to share their interests they have IRL? it sounds lke a bunch of garbage!. They need a veteran camgirl or equivalent to be model manager.. not some dopey guy who plays video games to destress.. sounds like someone didn't grow up to me...( No offense to you ladies who enjoy video games in your spare time.)
I didn't read too much after the announcement. I do think he is very inexperienced in being in front of a camera to be in charge of model relations (his video on youtube confirms that) but I don't think he meant to be rude in the article now that I reread it. I think he's just saying that if you want to, sharing your interests with your customers can create a connection and build customer loyalty. "Take time to play video games" was just a dumb way to tie his whole thought process together. He's just not a good writer either. lmao
Personally I have terrible hand-eye coordination, so the only games I play are games like Phoenix Wright. If someone will pay to watch me react to the plot twists though, I'm all there! :D
I play ffxiv. I'm not sure that anyone would like to see me watering my virtual garden or moving furniture around my virtual house. Those moments when I do a dungeon, I'm usually a healer, so that's a bit unexciting, and I'm on the low end of average, skill-wise.
Watching other people play video games mostly makes me nauseated. I don't think this trend is very suitable for me...

This was what I got from them. Pretty sure it was a BJ because anything more I would have switched to nude chat or logged off for. It is what it is but can be frustrating. Like are tit flashes not ok now too? Or being away from the screen for a moment to get a toy/pantyhose/outfit? I don't mind doing what I can to follow TOS but it can be difficult when the rules keep changing.
Streamray use to have the model Tracey handling model relations. SHe was great she was a life saver for me.
Like maybe maybe we need to make a petition for streamaray to have a female model manager. They have plenty of long-time veteran models still on the site. Yea I Am one of them.
but I am more into coaching models outside a big box site.
Anyone doing femdom only shows over here? How's traffic on the site for that niche? Do any girls who are vanilla models on cam get a lot of femdom requests? Thinking about trying this site out!
I get a lot of SPH, Sissy/crossdressing, and humiliation/pretend I'm going to expose them dudes, even though thats not exactly my thing.
I'm still new to the site-new model status I am sure has wore off now tho and I only used this site occasionally as it seems to be more of a token site now more than anything. I only got very few privates that only lasted 5 min tops. However, I am seriously considering giving this site full time attention. As at least there is some money to be made on here. You only get paid every 2 weeks (1st-15th pay out on the 16th should be in ur acct w/ Direct Deposit within 5 Bus Days, & also 16th-thru last day of ea mth pay out is on the 2nd of the following mth I think and usually is in ur bank acct by the 5th business day. This is the reason I never worked the site full time b/c I need Daily Pay and cant wait over 2 weeks for a pay check but since SM went to crap. I figure getting a paycheck for ur hard work every 2 to 2 1/2 weeks is better than no paycheck at all! I still cannot use there OBS Broadcast to stream in HD like SM Broadcaster b/c my computer is soo old but at least the few hrs a week or so I did put in a couple mths ago I made $120 and I probably didn't even put in 15 hrs!
I was trying to figure out what cam site would be more lucrative for Femdom work.... Not MFC, or chaturbate (I was told there are but the sites are dead from what models are saying) And deff not Camsoda. I have a streamray account I haven't used... Should I even bother? Lol
Are you on BM for daily pay? They support Cams, though you may have to restart your account.
Do you get a lot more tips than privates? I get way more private shows or c2c than tips unless the guy is a regular. I also get a reasonable amount of privates, but I'm pretty to the point when I work private sites lol
I tried creating a 2nd account thru Boleyn models for daily pay option as they do not convert accounts anymore you have to start off as a new acct & delete ur other. They ended up using my same email acct to sign me up thru there studio for BM for Cams instead of asking me what email I wanted to use and that same email was already in use with my original Acct with Cams so Cams deleted the 2nd acct after I took all that time in setting it up! I really don't want to have to delete my original acct with Cams to go thru BM as I made money on that one and have somewhat of a following or at least I did at one time plus I have the history on there -another thing I did not want to delete my original acct b/c if I ever wanted to go back to it I could still be at the 32% Tier-w/ BM it would only be at 27% I only get tips mostly than private show requests. It may be b/c I have the Buzz Button on b/c I have the Lovense Lush and Cams is the only site where it will work on lol. I am always on Free Chat and a customer the other day ask me to go into Tip Chat so he can tip me and so he can see me nude-I wasn not in there much tho b/c I guess he thought he could tip me very little in hopes he could get to see more action and I didn't like the fact that others with no money could see me for free. when u say u get a lot of Privates do you mean ur in free chat or tip chat and they take u private or do u mean u stay in the Private Nude show? I tried the Private Nude show room and even during there Happy Hour but it always seemed so empty and not a lot of ppl would come in much.
