I agree they allow models to show way too much in free chat. Due to one top model wearing her panties low around her hips and revealing the top of her puss, the newest trend is, you guessed it, models everywhere are wearing their panties low on their hips and showing tufts of hair and top part of lips. There is another top model who looks fabulous in daisy duke ultra mini's, so of course, another model had to one up her and made daisy duke super ultra mini's that allows both lips to flow out the sides. The other thing I am seeing is short dresses with no panties. The model pretends to cover herself with her hand but conveniently lets her hand slip for a nice 2 to 3 second free pussy flash. The "no below the waist nudity" rule has been cheesed once again but since there's a stupid amount of $0 gold shows, I don't think the guys even know there is a difference between paid chat and free chat. Especially if they log in after the show starts.
$0 gold shows are counter productive. While one single model may see a benefit selfishly in the moment, the long term effects are counter productive as it reinforces people to spend less and not to spend at all. It also provides access to people who are underage as well as people without working credit cards. I have a very old card on file. The account has been closed for 3 years. My account is still active and I am watching those $0 buy in shows. While I agree it might have seemed like a good idea in your push to remain relevant, there are so many other cost effective ways to invent new revenue generating ideas. Instead of doing something so stupid as $0 buy in, how about you ask the models what generates the most income and come up with a streamate original offering based on that?
I thought, "no simulated sex acts" was also in the rules yet we still see performers licking and sucking their dildos, spitting on their dildo's and tits, and even messaging themselves over the panties with it. It's worse on the male and TS sides, there's guys openly beating off with their dicks to the cam in free chat. How about paying models a minimum wage to police the site since you won't do it yourselves? I will be the first to volunteer and I'm sure there's many who would even do it for free.
As for the 65%, I agreed to it with the assumption it was covering advertising expense, however, when I can sit on cam for 4 hours and only make $40 (my cut), this means to me the above listed issues plus counter productive advertising (selling our shows out from under us) is backfiring.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: FFS give us a damn privacy shade! Let us choose if we want to sit on display for 40 hours being always on in the most stressful conditions ever or allow us to remain on the site in a more relaxed environment with a privacy shade so guys aren't sitting there beating off without paying. YES, they DO beat off to models who sit in guest chat fully dressed. Guys can beat off to a voice, to the face of a fully clothed model, and anything they find arousing. It's demeaning and we should have a choice.
It's like watching a sinking ship. For each year that passes our incoming are going down and more and more is being given away. We're training the new users to not spend as much as their predecessors, if spending at all. Do I think SM is a sinking ship? Yes because numbers don't lie.
