riddle me this...
I love money...im sure we all do....
One thing i absolutely hate is losing money! my major sites used to be imlive and sm. everytime i logged on i was on both... i haven't been on imlive since about nov2011.. all the time every payperiod its always people posting folks to blacklist or that did cb's.. id be like whatevs i didn't get chargebacks(thankfully) then u have people complaining that way after the fact their whole check was a cb or they have over 100bucks in cb's? yet they still stay.. i say that because the last time i logged on i saw i had about 10bucks of a cb that occured like 3 payperiods ago that was being taken out of the current pp at the time...i was more than irritated.. esp for the time i put in working the lack of traffic, or whatever my concerns were was not worth it..i stopped logging on to do privates..and have not looked back.. over 10bucks lol im solely on my site or sm now...thats it i guess im not really sure why if a site has slow traffic or whatever issues on top of the 100's + worth of cb's a payperiod... why continue to work there? im just trying to get a understanding..

Re: riddle me this...
I asked the same question a while back.
Some people have good regs there that they don't want to lose. Personally I'd have no qualms about taking my regs with me when I left a site that fucked me over the way IMLive appears to do with its cam-hosts on a regular basis, but I guess some people feel it's worth the risk of CB's and prefer to stay. Some maybe don't realize that regular CB's aren't the norm on every site.
To each their own, but I get where you're coming from...there's enough uncertainty in this job without worrying about whether we'll actually get paid the $$$$ we EARN

Re: riddle me this...
Well for me, I still make more on a site that has chargebacks than I do with SM. Yes I've had a few cb's on this site but my net take home was still more than I would have made for the same amount of hours on SM. So if It takes me 10 hours to make $250 on SM but it only takes me 5 to make the same amount (including chargebacks) on another site then I'm going with the other site. To me it's all about where I make the most money. If I had $30 worth of chargebacks but I still made $200 more than I would have on SM then it's still worth it to me.
I know some people say it's the principle and that's cool. I don't argue with anyone's logic. I just have to make my money. Now if I ever log-in and I'm negative or there is a significant amount of money gone for cb's then I'll be done with that site. But for now, I simply have to go where the money is.

Re: riddle me this...
Same as AVA for me - Personally I'm not leaving somewhere on principle , and if a site which steals perhaps 5% from me , is earning me 500% more than I can earn anywhere else , then let the stealing commence. That's not implying I enjoy it , but I won't cut my nose to spite my face. I have a few girlfriends who won't work on sites paying less than 50% because they feel violated , so instead they sit and bust a gut trying to make their target over 12 hours.... I'll take the small % , make my money in a couple of hours and I'm gone. It always comes down to how much money I can make , and rarely principle.

Re: riddle me this...
and thats understandable. for me that was just the last straw.. yes i liked having them in the background while i do other stuff but if i set aside the hours of 7-3pm or whatever block of 8hrs and on my other sites/sm ive made money and at the end of that period i have less than 100 bucks or just 1 pvt or hell nothing that whole period, then come back and a cb from 3 payperiod prior... i will be a lil irked.. but there are some that have done worse and will still stay.

Re: riddle me this...
There are a couple types of shows that I can do only at the end of the day or if I feel like I don't want to stay on longer. One is The Squirt (lol, had to capitalize) and then some stuff like this guy who asks me to do really dramatic makeup for him which is kind of fun and I haven't gotten problems with the dramatic makeup guy but... there is this... guy. I suspect it's always the same guy who wants me to squirt and he's never in a hurry and if it's a slow day I give in... there is something really unsettling about the way he talks (technically types) I know 90% of the cases it's impossible to gauge a person's attitude just by the way they type but I swear I could sense idk this huge contempt for me in the way he types: "aww what's the matter baby?" "see, there you go baby"
FUCK! :axe:
Well that was last summer, now on xmas day it was slow for me and then this guy showed up I just knew it was him! But of course "it's a slow day for me," "I'm not going to kick him out" and "I can't be sure it's him" blah blah... So and today he has finally made a chargeback for that December show. According to my speculations that's the 3rd all-inclusive show he has charged back for under different aliases. And the last one cause I have decided I am simply not going to do any squirting, any makeup modifications, nothing that interferes with my ability to continue my shift, rinse-and-repeat. Other custies may be decent but if a site practically pimps me out by taking 70% of my earnings (personally I see that as pimping, idgaf if others think it's reasonable) I expect the custies to be served to me on A SILVER PLATTER! If the site can't get their shit together with cb's I am simply going to pass that inconvenience down to custies, idc that "I should be ready to go down and dirty" and "really get into it" if I charge $3.80/min, cause when someone makes a charge back I have done it for $0/min.
So I will make my decisions based on the lowest common denominator so to speak. "Would you do this for $0/min?" If yes then good if no then I'm not going to do it for $3.80 either BECAUSE those 3.80 can just turn into ZERO couple pay periods down the road.
And allowing a customer to continue to use the site after making chargebacks repeatedly in the past, idgi...? But frankly I shouldn't be analyzing why or why not because I don't get paid to care!
On a more positive note I recorded that xmas session and my intuition tells me it's going to be a top seller, which is one of the reasons why I like that site, I just need to "adjust" what I will do in pvt (i.e., nothing more than the most vanilla stuff }:D)
