    Sad How long until camming is no longer viable?

    If you look at the history of adult webcamming, you'll see it's gotten less profitable and more extreme in deeds and nudity over the years- do you think it'll plateau, or will eventually die out as a decently paying job?

    I know I'm definitely keeping my options open, just in case.

    I guess that depends on if sites enforce their own rules. As it's been pointed out a few times here, MFC has become increasingly difficult to do well, even just compared to a year ago - a 6-7k camscore was amazing; now three or four times that is necessary to be anywhere near the top. And that's only within a year. They continuously allow girls to break and bend the rules, which makes it harder for the girls who don't, or the girls who have some class / standards (no, I will not masturbate with my bedpost in free chat and hope I get tips, thank you very much <--- yes, that really happened on MFC). If things like that are allowed, girls will have to be more ... "creative" ... to set themselves apart. If sites allow girls to continuously lower the bar of what is acceptable camgirl behaviour, those of us who are even the least bit classy will see our traffic drop, I'm sure. Of course, there are exceptions.

    I absolutely think it'll die out but not anytime soon. Probably 5-10 years.

    Look at stripping for example. It used to be taboo and girls used to rake in the cash. Now strip clubs all over the country are dead and girls are stripping for $500 a week vs $500 a night.

    I was actually thinking about this the other day. I think camming is taking over stripping. So what will take over camming?

    As a related thing, I am sure that in a few decades sexbots will pretty much destroy prostitution in developed countries. If that happens, I'm cashing in and becoming a robo-pimp-ette.

    i think and this is just my newbie camming opinion but i honestly think that it is all about branding yourself as a camgirl. i think to truly be successful as a camgirl you gotta set yourself apart from the majority and build yourself a following, put yourself out and become known. do things that make you extremely unique and i dont mean the nasty stuff, lol. what makes you special? market yourself-twitter, myspace, facebook, blogging, youtube, etc. use the whole internet to your advantage and have the passion to fight for it.

    Well, the porn industry sees it as a way to make money. They are all struggling due to the free tube sites. Thus jumping into the camming arena.

    What they dont realize is that we do share info on them. That their contracts sucks. That they are so used to treating models as disposable is no longer viable option with all the cam sites out there fighting over us

    Naked recently increased their % to the models.

    In porn they shoot a girl out in2 months and then there is no more use for her. Now, in camming they need models who have built a brand, built a stronger base of regulars. So we are quickly not becoming so disposable.

    The next few years shall be very interesting to say the least.

    Smooches,
    Sam

    Most of what makes this particular branch of the industry profitable isn't sex.

    Think about it.

    I find this a legitimate question to ask, and I've been wondering this exact same thing! In fact... I made a thread about it a little while ago here:

    I often wonder about this too. Honestly I think more advanced technology will come into play soon enough. Like Fleshlights and sex machines that are customer-controlled and stuff like that music activated vibrator that was being discussed in another thread. Like, just seeing regular naked chicks won't be enough anymore. Eventually guys will expect to be *doing* something *to* them.

    That and/or fetish stuff really exploding. I mean, reeeeally. I think all the unique fetish video requests and cam show requests will stay alive. I mean how many public shows in free chat can I do where I pretend to be pollenated with a huge organic plant, or tell a guy I'm shrinking him down to an inch and going to turn him into my "purse manager"? Like... for every few cheap ass, broke ass "show ass bb" losers that come around, there is some guy somewhere with a far out fetish that he will pay for a custom show or custom video, that probably wouldn't even do too well to be leaked. Y'know?

    I think vanilla camming will be so saturated in the next 5-10 years, but fetish will win out. That and sex machines.

    Will be interesting to see!
