Potential food for thought here ...
We have previously discussed the fact that it costs webcam hosts the same X dollars per hour to provide web hosting and video stream bandwidth for camgirls, regardless of how much 'revenues' the camgirl was able to generate during that hour via paid sales.
As such, there is some percentage of paid sales figure that equates to the webcam host 'breaking even' i.e. a particular camgirl's hourly paid sales percentage kept by the webcam host equalling the actual costs to the webcam host of providing web hosting and video stream bandwidth for that camgirl. In terms of wild guesswork plus previous experience operating my own streaming video server, I'd say that the 'break even' percentage probably falls somewhere around 25% for a large webcam host company.
The fact that webcam hosts are starting to keep track of percentage of paid sales statistics may very well be a prelude to webcam hosts 'cutting' camgirls whose paid sales percentage consistently falls below the 'break even' point versus costs to the webcam host of providing webcam hosting and ( mostly free chat ) video stream bandwidth to that camgirl.
At present, the 'losses' to the webcam host created by marginal camgirls whose paid sales percentage is less than 25% are being heavily subsidized by other camgirls whose paid sales percentages are 50%+.
Or put another way, if a webhost were to 'cut' all camgirls whose average paid sales percentage consistently fell below 25%, the webcam host could afford to raise the percentage payout to remaining camgirls significantly - with both the webcam host and the higher performing camgirls earning more money in the process !!! In addition, by 'lightening the load' on the webcam host's servers and internet backbone connection via 'cutting' the video streams of camgirls whose paid sales average less than 25%, webcam video stream performance problems would be 'cured' for the remaining camgirls - plus the webcam host could avoid having to invest millions of additional dollars to upgrade streaming server and internet backbone bandwidth capacity.
Just a potential insight that the webcam hosts calculations of percentage of paid sales statistics may have more purposes than simply providing additional info on the camgirl's account information page !!! If your average percentage of paid sales figure has consistently fallen below 25%, it might be worth be worth some extra effort to try and raise that percentage ... before carrying a low average percentage of paid sales figure actually brings on future consequences ( like 'forced' retirement ) !!!
