WOW! They actually quoted my thread title. LOL! Glad no pics of me are in it though.
I just gotta be me!
taylor_sweetall day today i kept saying this aint burger king or mcdonalds u cant have it ur way till u pay then a guy was all i just want a sample im all this aint baskin robins either
Lol its seems like everybody reads SW. SW and camming are becoming more and more mainstream by the day. I dunna if that's a good or bad thing.
I think we're just a 'freak show' of sorts. Not something they really want to participate in, but we're fun to look at and make sexist/degrading jokes/remarks about or feel sorry for or try to "save us" from ourselves. lol
So I think we're definitely getting more eyes, but not necessarily more people who are like "Wow! Go them! I wanna do it too!" They are bored and we are their entertainment filler.
Phone sex on mainstream news was looked at poorly recently. Pornstar James Deen (swoon) was on the news as "someone your teenage daughter is watching, tsk tsk" lol. The media and general public still turn their nose up at us. And I think that will be that way for a loooong time.




Wow Mila has a lot more money than I thought she did. Is there anything like the SM studios that give you top spots or market? Or is that manly a SM thing?
indentured servitude? Already do not want to finish reading.



I wasn't a big fan of the beginning of the article, but Sam did paint a positive picture of me, and mostly of Mila, so I'm happy about that. The Romanian studio stuff is depressing, but it's nothing we didn't already know. His original idea was to write about the camming industry in relation to human trafficking. I talked with him a little bit, but he did most of the research himself. This article has been a few months in the making.
It's free advertising for me, so I'll take it. My website has gone viral since this site went up.
^^^I'm saying
I guess I'm tired of 'journalism' that uses provocative titles (that are largely refuted in the article) in order catch the eyes of potential readers. Perhaps this is emblematic of the fact that the author clearly didn't do much research into the actual workings of the industry, but it seems to me that an article concerning (in part) the 'underside' of the industry that doesn't delve into the studio system (and all of the inherent abuses that emerge from that system) is...incomplete. Many of the issues Biddle discusses in relation to 'non-Western' cammers can be directly attributed to the system of parasitic studios under which these men and women are forced to work, yet he references studios only in passing.
As camming progresses as an industry, one thing I really f%#king hope happens is that more chicas (and guys) who cam from within studio-mandatory nations set up their own studio collectives, to keep more of the $$$$ and power within their own hands.
Further, the poverty and desperation Biddle discusses are found (often) within North America as well. In twinning these concepts to non-Western cammers, however, Biddle is feeding into the stereotypes and misconceptions we all know many customers have against cam chicas who reside in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe. As such, this article is great for aspiring white knights, but for non-Western women working hard and providing high-quality cam shows...not so much
Beyond that, it was wicked to see you profiled there Domino! I was really surprised to see that they covered indy camming. I guess we're growing up
Props and congrats

Oh, I've been linking to your site for a month or so now. Nice to "meet" you.
My biggest trouble with the article is that it paints the negative aspects of camming as something that happens to "those shady foreigners" when the same set up is happening right here in the US as well.
This article pissed me off in a lot of ways.
I hate when journalists write in 'perfect world' scenario form. Yes, there are a certain percentage of women that get exploited in this industry. Walmart has been known to buy from sweatshops in Third World countries. Does this mean that the whole concept of the superstore shouldn't be allowed to exisit? That all the people who work there to feed their families become an irrelevant afterthought.
Also what is with the two threads he decided to choose from the Camming Connection section? He completely glosses over the fact that Camming Connection is not only full of camgirls who ask questions but also full of camgirls that answer those questions without recieving any monetary compensation at all. The whole article with its 'camgirls will only give you the time of day if you pay them' attitude focuses only on how we share our 'war stories' here in CC and misses the very important fact that there is a entire community of girls who give their time away for free in order to help out camgirls in need of information or support.
You want to see indentured servitude, North American style? Try working at a 7-11 for minimum wage doing shift work that fucks with your ability to sleep or have a social life while still not being able to make ends meet.





I thought this was pretty interesting actually. He seemed to give a good balanced overview. I'm just glad my site wasn't mentioned, although he does go on so much about studio girls that maybe it's enough to put most people off![]()
Ok. I wasnt going to bother. but now I will.. I MUST!
Because I represent! lol
So............. shall we start?
first paragraph:
If you think cam girls—those flirty naked characters that plague porn site pop-up ads—are raking in easy money, you're right. If you think cam girls are bleakly stripping online out of desperation, you're also right. Peel away the sex and pixels and money and you're left with the cloudy truth about the Internet's relationship status with these on-demand entertainers: it's complicated.
1.raking in easy money - WRONG!
2.cam girls are bleakly stripping online out of desperation, you're also right- WRONG!
First 10 sec of reading give WRONG info.
So to me the rest of the post is Irrelevant.
Oh wait, slick rick wanted to grab people;s attention with his first 10 sec of reading.
Since he knows he only gets about 10-20 sec to grab someone;s attention over the internet.
what a manipulative man whore!LOL





No, he's saying it's complicated. And it is. Without bigging up camming too much, i agree with his first comment. If I were in verified I'd go into more depth, but basically I think it's a pretty good overview. He isn't saying it's easy money for ALL girls, or that ALL girls are doing it out of desperation. Like he says, there's a lot more to it than that. My only criticism is that he couldn't write it without jerking off first?! Ugh.
"It's a massive catalog of preening women of every variety: fat, skeletal........."
You forgot " normal" male whore......

I dont hate " him".
I dont like the first 10 sec of reading and reading further I dont like the connotation he gives to this job.
its a acting commission based job.
I dont think hes getting either concepts.."acting" and " commission based".
How many hours of research did he put in before writing this?
10 ? 20? 50? 1 week? 3 months?
you need more than 1 full year of solid research to be able to say, in all truthfulness, that you are getting it.
the " article" to me, is nothing more than what a freeloader ( wait he went private lol) would say after he would nicely talk a few models into explaining to him how they got started.....
"Anna: Former Indentured Stripper"
Less than 0.000001 % of romanian cam girls are former strippers.
But I guess he talked to the exact 0.0000001 % LOL
Get your information right!
oh ops, you cant......
Edit:
Never believe cam girls and politicians.
You white knight on a white horse you...
SAVE US!!!Please!!
Our poor little lives...
We need you.
and while you;re at it, tell these fuckers to tip $300 instead of $100
ok?
Better yet? why dont You tip it LOL
tip every one of us $300 each!
thanks for listening.

and while Im at this.. let me say that I dont appreciate this.
as long as he;s wrong about everything else, he can be right about 1 thing
and that makes him right all around?
He can shit all over the others,as long as hes not shitting all over you, its ok?
oh, okay.
not.
yeah, I should not post this.... but oh well..
cant help it.



If I go to the US and get out in a ghetto, then I come home without looking at anything else and tell everyone that the USA is a shithole, people are living in terrible circumstances, everywhere is poverty and crime...I wouldn't be right. Of course, there's the ghetto but there are also many other things, wonderful cities, landscapes, culture....
The whole "studio situation in EE" thing reminded me of this. I'm NOT saying there is no such thing as mafia-owned studios, sex-addict bosses or coerced camgirls, I would be disrespectful to those who are suffering from these things if I said it doesn't happen. But it's not the norm. I'm from EE, I frequent EE camgirl forums, I have many camgirl friends, aquaintances, some of them really do work in a studio. They often earn other people's monthly wages in a day, live in wonderful homes and have everything they wish for. I don't think they want to be saved. I'm absolutely satisfied living here and doing this job (and I'm not easy to satisfy, lol)
I was sad to see all the "EE vs. the West" thing there. It feeds into stereotypes and God knows we are stereotyped enough as it is. I found it offensive and saddening.
Thank you Fridays for your posts in this thread!
Actually he is. If look at the paragraph "If you think cam girls—those flirty naked characters that plague porn site pop-up ads—are raking in easy money, you're right. If you think cam girls are bleakly stripping online out of desperation, you're also right."
1. He could of used the statement 'most girls' and made a broad generalization but chose not to. If we follow the paragraph to its logical conclusion then this is what we are left with.
1. Camgirls are making easy money
2. But those poor little things are just desperate, can anyone really blame them? Someone should really save them from themselves.*
(Okay, that last statement was embellished with firm statement to titillate you, but hey if the writer of the article can do it....when in Rome.)![]()
