My thoughts after browsing this forum and especially this thread:
You can search high and low for other sites to migrate to when your current site stops panning out for you but until the powers that be (we the performers) make the decision to be unified as a group to keep this industry financially viable, migrating is pointless. We turn the other cheek when models and studios take advantage of their freedom to make independent decisions on what constitutes a hustle without regard to policy on a site that doesn't police itself. The same policies are being broken time and time again, then, we the power, straight up refuse to 'out' those who treat this industry like their personal toilet.
Last night I came home from the club and the first thing I did was turn on my computer to check my tags and was immediately was drawn to a profile pic on the similar models part of my page. I clicked on it, and there's a girl from Latvia with a dildo in her mouth, pussy lips spread wide and she was pissing in her bed. There were over 130 watchers in her free chat. No one was talking and not a single tip was given. She never spoke a single word. Viewers made requests and she did what they requested. Sick to death, I clicked a profile pic from the similar models portion of her page into a Colombian owned chat room where a girl in sheer pantyhose was fucking her dildo and begging for tips that never came. Then I click over to page 1, row 1 and there's a couple, fucking in free chat. Then we wonder why Mr Billionaire of Arabia who drives a gold plated Bentley, who logs into our chat room with his dick in his hand, doesn't speak and waits for his show, has no intention of opening his wallet because he knows if he's around long enough or surfs long enough, he's going to see what he's looking for. The sad thing is, he isn't aware of token based or competing sites yet, he only knows of SM. The way we handled him as a potential spending customer was just fail. Epic fail.
Moving to a different site because you think you want to be hidden from free chat isn't going to solve a damn thing. Correcting the problem that is making you want to be hidden will. When you are making money, you are happy with the site you are on, be it with or without free cam and chat. SM is still able to out perform every token based site but it's going down hill and at a rapid rate because the site owners consider free advertising to be good at generating traffic, mind you, we're paying 65% of our income to do that for us. We are allowing it to happen when we tolerate the CRAP that is going on in many free chats right now. When we don't call out, embarrass and ban the performers and studios who are raping our incomes without any thought to those who respect them enough to not call them out, there's a major imbalance. Fuck respect. I'm sick of respect. Respect is clearly not working. Bad performers are drawing in bad traffic. Bad performers are conditioning viewers, they do not have to pay.
To the girl who said she used to be able to make $800 and is now making $200, you are not alone. I used to average $750 to $850 on 10 hours of cam time. That was two years ago. Last year I was averaging $450 to $600. This year I am averaging $300 but have absolutely no shortage of traffic. The difference between then and now is the amount of silent lurkers who log in with their dick in hand and wait for their show to start. They don't have to pay anymore because on any given hour, day, night, week, month, there's at least 400 carbon copy girls putting on free shows with the same cam set up as the next, the same toys, the same ass clap and rubs her tits exactly the same way as everybody else -- madness
Here's my question. Why do you respect those who rape our earning potential and refuse to call them out? They clearly don't have any respect for you. At what point does your livelihood have to be affected before this rule is overlooked as conveniently as the policies these bad performers overlook common sense business practices?
