Find your girl

No, it is not about old reviews. This is about Stats pages and CWSW pages. It's time to clean up the database!

Why Does The Database Need to Be Purged?

First reason: Relevance; What is the point of having a page related to a camgirl who stopped camming five years ago? Most likely, people who spent time in her room either moved on or are not even around anymore.

Even if these members are still around, they have no reason to check the stats of a camgirl who has quite a long time ago. I mean, her stats page won't get any update. So what? Will the guy keep checking the page every day to see the same data?

Second reason: SEO; MyCamgirl currently has 4,565,541 models on its database (Stats pages only.) That can be harmful in terms of SEO.

Every SEO analyst I have talked to told me that these pages are too thin and similar. They are an absolute nightmare, the worst content a site could have.

The right way to do it would be to add valuable content to each page. That means extensive and cured text about each camgirl. Yeah, that is just impossible.

A few analysts even suggested shutting down the Stats area for good. Forget about the Stats pages and focus on the reviews; that's what search engines love.

Search engines love that because they think that is what people want and can't make sense of a stat page. But what SE fails to realize is how much more traffic the poor pages get. There are a lot more people interested on the Stats pages than on reviews.

In the end, we agreed to meet halfway. Only irrelevant pages will be "removed," which will reduce the number of pages drastically.

Will The Data Be Deleted?

No. The page will return 404 Not Found. But the data will remain in the database. That is because this data will still be valuable to create historical insights of the camming industry.

All the activities of a camgirl whose page is no longer available will still count towards some global statistics, but without mentioning her name.

What Pages Will Disappear?

Stats pages and CWSW pages are the only sections affected by this.

Stats pages: All accounts that have not been online in the past three years;

CWSW pages: All pages that have only closed accounts or that all accounts have no activity in the past three years;

Important note: This is related to accounts, not camgirls. If a camgirl has two accounts and stops using one of these accounts, the stats page for this inactive account will disappear after three years of inactivity. However, the stats page for the account that she still uses will remain available.

I Still See Old Pages

It can be due for one of the following reasons:

First, the bots didn't process the page yet. Every day the bots will search for inactive accounts. But this process takes some time, and with almost billions of accounts to check, it can take so long that many accounts are left to check the next day.

Second, some pages will remain no matter what. These pages and the camgirls have significant relevance to the history of camming. Camgirls like ShyUtza (aka ShyTeen2009,) Kickaz, or AspenRae will undoubtedly be forever attached to the history of camming, and looking back on their stats is relevant at any time.

Or for example, Kati3kat's stats on Chaturbate will be relevant to compare with her stats on MyFreeCams, even though we all know that she will never return to Chaturbate.

What Happens If The Camgirl Comes Back?

If the camgirl starts camming again, then it will automatically reinstate her Stats pages for that account. This is assuming that she is back online using her old accounts. If she gets new accounts, then her old accounts will remain down.

A new feature has just rolled out for MyFreeCams and Chaturbate: The Room Topic Archive

What Does The Room Topic Archive Show?

It shows the last 4 room topics set by the model. You have the option to load more topics.

Go ahead, give it a try: Check AmberCutie's Stats Page.

Are All Topics Available?

No. It would require way too many resources to store every single room topic. Especially with countdowns, it can change hundreds of times in a minute.

I can say that every hour the topics generate around 300 MB of data. Doing the math... then it would be 2.6 TB of data every year. Considering that I am collecting this specific data since 2014, right now I would be storing ~18 TB of data for the topics only. I would probably go with AWS to store this data on DynamoDB, then I would be getting a $4,500 bill every month. And that would be the cost of storing it.

As you can see, storing every single room topic would be the worst idea after the frozen yogurt. The solution I came up with was to store one room topic per hour. What you see is actually the topic the model had on her highest moment in the hour.

Confusing?

Let me explain in detail. During a one-hour period, let's say between 10 am and 11 am, once per minute (60 times), the bots check how many viewers are in each chat room, and the current room topic. At the end of the hour, a bot processes all the data to calculate the average viewers for each model. After calculating and saving the average, all the data collected for that period is deleted.

Each model has, for each hour they have been online, an entry with her average viewers. The room topic is also included in this row. But since there are 60 different room topics, the bot selects the room topic for the minute when the model had the most viewers.

Careful with how many room topics you load. Theoretically, you can load all the topics. But it depends on how much your browser can handle because, basically, every time you load more topics, it adds 4 lines to the list. If the model has too many room topics, at some point you may end up with a 20,000 lines list, which may take too many resources from your browser/computer.

Why Only MyFreeCams And Chaturbate Got Room Topic?

First, because these were the first two camsites to use the room topic.

Second, it is quite easy to collect that from them, while other camsites complicate so much, mainly because their room topic system was developed kinda as improv. In some situations, the bots would have to join every single chat room every minute to check the room topic.

Third, and the biggest reason, because, as explained before, the room topic is collected together with the viewers. Not every camsite with a room topic feature provides the viewers count. In some camsites, the viewers' count is not visible at all.

Is This Data Really Relevant?

I would say: meh. But somehow people want to see the room topic.

Years ago, when the last room topic (only the last) started being shown on Stats pages. Nobody said anything. But when a glitch stopped the room topic from being updated, I got more than a few emails complaining about it.

That was when I realized that the room topic is more relevant than I thought.

You have probably faced the 504 error message quite a few times lately.

And you are probably wondering why since the site got a huge upgrade to address the downtime problem.

Indeed, for sometime the downtime was no longer a problem. But there was a small technical issue that forced me to change how the site works (changing from SPA to SSR, for those who understands this), and that was when the downtime started again.

Some queries are just taking too long to return results, so requests start to pile up until it reach the limit. The server then freezes and eventually restarts itself. That is when you see "Error 504 Gateway time-out".

I having been working on this. I won't be making promises when this will be fixed, but hopefully soon.

What makes many camgirls hate a camsite considered one of the best? Many models feel that LiveJasmin is not a good camsite to work. Although it is far from being the best camsite to work, it also can't be considered the worst.

I suspect there is a mix of misconceptions of how LiveJasmin works and how some models expect it to work which leads many camgirls to hate LiveJasmin. But also the fact that LiveJasmin handles situations poorly makes things look not so good.

I Am Not Here To Defend LiveJasmin

First of all, I don't want to defend LiveJasmin. They don't need me to do that anyway. I don't want to convince any camgirl of joining LiveJasmin, and I certainly don't want to tell anyone how they should work.

The best camsite is the one that works for you.

If you are happy with the camsite you work and it helps you reach the income you like, then continue there. You have no reason to change.

This post is more to point the fact that not all camsites work the same. Each camsite has its own business model that may make it impossible for models to simply jump from one to another without adapting to that camsite.

There is no right or wrong, just misconceptions, and misunderstandings.

What Are The Misconceptions About LiveJasmin?

Most of the models' complaints are based on situations that are simply a case of misconceptions.

Some camgirls work in a particular way that can't be transported and applied on LiveJasmin. But they still try to do so, and then they can't.

It is important to notice that LiveJasmin is a private-focused camsite, and I should add that they have strong relationships with studios.

Here are some issues I have identified after listening to models:

Camgirls Are Not Allowed To Ask Tips On LiveJasmin

It is as simple as that: On LiveJasmin, models are not allowed to ask for tips.

Models from camsites like MyFreeCams and Chaturbate are used to a greater degree of freedom. They create infinite reasons for members to tip them. But also, many of them simply ask for tips with or without cause. 

This situation is acceptable on other camsites, and this is seen as part of the business. But on LiveJasmin, that is a big no-no.

Yes, models can just try their luck and ask for tips. Members will rarely go for it. But it only takes a quick chat with support to report the model, and she gets a warning. That is LiveJasmin preventing a more extensive problem right there.

I guess LiveJasmin does not want to deal with the disputes that come with this. Well, just look at any other camsite that allows models to ask for tips. Tips are not refundable, they say. And that is all, that is how other camsites deal with tips disputes.

I can't say they are wrong because, really, it would be like a legal battle, with each side defending their version of the story. The number of human resources this would take from the camsite would be too much.

LiveJasmin Takes Money From Models

It is called LiveJasmin's Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy. And no, they don't take money from models just like that. Although, yes, they give cuts on models' payout, which I don't agree with.

As a LiveJasmin member who has complained to support about a bad experience in private, I can say that they don't refund unless there is a good reason.

Camgirls tend to believe that this means any member can just ask for a refund after a private chat. But it is not exactly like that.

The satisfaction guaranteed policy is a fundamental policy that many businesses have. They want their customers to be happy and satisfied.

Members can ask for a refund. But for LiveJasmin to actually issue a refund, specific points need to be checked, and I can guarantee you that members can't manipulate LiveJasmin.

What LiveJasmin Actually Does

The first thing LiveJasmin checks is: How long did the member spend in private chat? If the member stays in private for too long, there is almost no chance LiveJasmin will refund them. Support will politely say something among the lines: "if you were not happy with the performance in private, you should have ended the session within 1-2 minutes." In situations like this, LiveJasmin will just issue a warning to the model. And even that only happens in the worst-case scenario.

Many models seem to not understand that LiveJasmin is a private-oriented camsite focused mainly on explicit shows. If a model says that she can get naked and masturbate, members have the right to ask for that as soon as they start a private chat.

In fact, customer support hints that members should ask for the show to start within the first minute in private. After all, if they take too long to ask, customer support will say they spent too much time in private chat to be eligible for a refund. I am just following the logic here.

That does not mean that I agree with this approach. When I go in private chat with a girl, I want a good experience. I can't expect that from the girl if I ask: "hi, get naked and bring your dildo;" as soon as I get there.

Camgirls Can't Be Non-Nude

They are just in the wrong category. If a model is in the Girls category (the default), she automatically offers explicit shows. There is little room for delaying the show. The model can try to turn a quick show into a long slow performance. But they need to understand that the member can just close the private right away and ask for a refund if he ends the private in 1-2 minutes.

No, LiveJasmin does not force models to do anything. They just want models to do what they say they can do. If a model wants to get naked occasionally, whenever she decides, she can. Just change to Hot Flirt. She can even be 100% non-nude if she moves to Soul Mate.

I admit that the categories on LiveJasmin are confusing. But that is not an excuse to pick the wrong category. Every model has a quick webcam test with an admin before getting online for the first time. During this test, the model can ask questions to the admin.

Too Many Strict Rules In Public Chat

It's true: LiveJasmin has strict rules about what a camgirl can do in public chat. That is for a reason.

A girl once said: "stupid restrictions they have for a camsite whose main focus is sex."

Yes, the focus is sex... in private. I will repeat myself, LiveJasmin is a private-oriented camsite. If camgirls do and show anything they wish in public chat, what is the point of taking her into private chat?

It is just the business model that LiveJasmin has, a valid one. They want a different image and to make money through private chats and paid content, not public shows. There are consequences to public shows that LiveJasmin may not be willing to deal with.

The only exception to this rule is with pre-VIP Shows, where LiveJasmin allows models to go topless to encourage members to buy tickets.

What I get from camgirls complaining about the strict rules is that they come from camsites where they have the freedom of showing some nipples, slapping ass, etc. All in public chat. You know, teasing a little, getting some tips. Then they try LiveJasmin and want to do the same without understanding the type of service and image LiveJasmin intends to have.

Using Site's Features For The Wrong Reasons

Camgirls are creative, and they tend to see opportunities everywhere. Something built with one purpose in mind can be used for something different in a camgirl's hands. That was how countdown shows started anyway, using a feature for something else.

That being said, LiveJasmin does not like when models use their creativity to change how a feature works.

Here is a straightforward example I saw once. A girl started a pre-VIP Show. This was a girl who never performed VIP Shows, and because of that, the room got full of members. She set her goal to 100 credits, which is way more than the average price. One member bought 99 credits in tickets, leaving only 1 credit to reach the goal and start the show. It naturally reached the goal. But she held it until the last minute. At the very last minute, she canceled the VIP Show.

Members were infuriating, naturally. That member who bought 99 credits then revealed, in a snob way, that this VIP Show was never intended to happen. This was all a stunt to attract members to her room and give exposure to her. It worked. But she got a warning from LiveJasmin and never pulled that trick again.

On some other camsites, this would be fine. Some members would be furious too, the die-hard fans wouldn't care. But in the end, the camsite wouldn't do anything.

Return Credits For Canceled Countdown Shows

In the situation I mentioned above, all the credits were returned to the members. That was not a punishment. It's just how countdown shows, aka VIP Shows, work on LiveJasmin. It's the same with Gold Shows on Streamate, by the way. Some girls, mainly from MyFreeCams, don't like or don't understand this concept.

Countdown shows appeared first on MyFreeCams as an unofficial feature created by camgirls on top of the tipping feature. Because of the true nature of how tips work, even if the camgirl wants, she can't return tips. Tips are not refundable, remember? Because of this particular rule, the camgirl keeps all the tokens even if the goal is not reached.

So, in this situation, the girl gets paid for a show that didn't take place. Well, yeah, you can see this way. But in most cases, there is some action going on during the countdown. Tippers still get something. See why some models don't understand the concept of returning the money from the countdown? Because they, in fact, worked for it.

The True Problems

It is not all misconceptions, and there are points that the camgirls are right. LiveJasmin has too many rules, and they often fail to have clear communication with models.

Although they have the famous LiveJasmin Academy, that course/summit is heavily focused on studio models, and not easily accessible to every model. This explains why studio models tend to perform better on LiveJasmin.

Independent Camgirls May Struggle

LiveJasmin conducts its business in a way that is very professional. Too professional sometimes. They want models well trained, with a good understanding of the product they are selling. Hence the LJ Academy.

This leads to close relationships with studios. LiveJasmin has representatives working closely with studios, having one-on-one meetings with studio managers and models to review their performances (financially) and propose changes on the studio/models based on their analysis.

Yeah, sounds too corporate. Because it is!

If a studio model has a question or a problem, they will have a 24/7 studio manager ready to provide support. And the studio has a special line with LiveJasmin in case they need something.

Studio models have a clear advantage over independent models. LiveJasmin won't send a representative to meet with one single and explain to her what she should do to convert members into paying members. That is out of the question.

LiveJasmin Is Not A Place For Creativity And Freedom

If a model tries to act outside the box, she won't have much luck. LiveJasmin wants models to look and act in a certain way. Too formatted and boring sometimes if you ask me.

If a model wants to hold a fun game where she does live bodypainting, LiveJasmin will most likely issue a warning. Why? Because the model is going in the wrong direction by doing something that does not meet the glamour image they want to have.

LiveJasmin should be more flexible on that.

Not A Place For Streamers

I have seen girls doing this on LiveJasmin, and they get no tips. That is probably the reason LiveJasmin shut down the "Live DJ" category. A very cool category with DJ girls playing music. Some of them with a full setup like a pro DJ and doing some coll mix. A DJ girl would hardly get more than 5 guys in her room, let alone someone tipping her.

Seriously, there was this cool girl, very active and energetic. She was trying everything to get people to interact with her. She would hold VIP Shows with low goals and play piano to entertain viewers. But almost nobody would interact with her. She would sell a few tickets for the show but almost never reach the goal.

LiveJasmin is not for streamers, gamers, or an entertainer. Girls falling into these categories will have a hard time on LiveJasmin for the simple fact that members are not used to tip on LiveJasmin.

I don't remember the last time I tipped a girl in free chat on LiveJasmin. On the other hand, on MyFreeCams or on Streamate, I am sure I tipped last time I was online there. It's a habit, and given the type of entertainment girls offer on these sites, I feel like dropping some tips, and I do it without realizing I am doing it.

Models Get Punished For Anything

I understand that LiveJasmin wants to have a certain image and attract a certain audience, and having models following certain standards makes sense. The problem is that they punish models for not meeting their standards.

Things like: Bad lighting, no audio, poor makeup, wearing pajamas, etc. It all gives a 5% reduction on the model's payout.

Bad lighting... well, yeah, maybe. Bad makeup? That is subjective... Wearing pajamas? WTF?! I'd say that almost every member won't care about that, and some may even like it.

But LiveJasmin handles this situation poorly. They should at least warn models first, instead of simply giving a cut on the percentage. Most models only find out they got a penalty when they get online, and often they don't know why.

No Potential To Grow

I agree with models. Since LiveJasmin has too many strict rules, and they won't allow you to ask for tips, the model's earnings are limited by her rate in private.

Members don't tend to tip as gratitude after a good private chat. Models can't offer some goodies or tease too much in the free chat to give reasons for members to tip. In the end, there is no potential to grow.

On this aspect, tipping-focused camsites are a lot better at unlocking higher earnings.

Low Payout Rate

It's indeed low. I can't argue on this one.

It starts from 30%, and it can go up to 80%. Well, 80% is not bad. The problem is that reaching 80% is not easy.

And then, there is the situation when a model is close to 80%. She already made so much money that reaching 80% does not change her income much.

I remember when 60% was the maximum percentage. Most girls reaching it would have to work every day, and still, they would get to 60% almost at the end of the period.

Even when the model reaches it, it gets reset to 30% after the pay period (2 weeks,) and she needs to work her way up to 80% again. No wonder why models hate this system. LiveJasmin could at least start from a higher rate or reset it not so often.

Here is each level for the LiveJasmin payout:

Earnings	Percentage
>$30,000	80%
$15,000 to $30,000	70%
$8,000 to $14,999	65%
$4,000 to $7,999	60%
$2,000 to $3,999	50%
$1,000 to $1,999	45%
$500 to $999	40%
$250 to $499	35%
<$250	30%

Notice that it can be a horrible 25% if the model is holding a penalty.

The average camgirl on LiveJasmin probably falls on the 45-50% level. Top models can reach 60-65% each period. I should run some analysis to have a full report on this.

Conclusion

LiveJasmin can be the best camsite if the camgirl understands the rules and how the site wants to sell its services. It can be a huge nightmare and the worst place ever if the camgirl tries to apply other camsites' rules and concepts.

Although many girls misunderstand LiveJasmin, I think the fault falls on LiveJasmin. They have a very unique set of rules and standards that are a bit too much. They should have a dedicated team explaining to models what they are expected to do, instead of simply issue penalties.

There's currently a visible oversaturation of the online sex work market. At the same time, though, I've seen an incredible increase in viewers and users for various sites on the web. One, however, stands out more than the others. And, because I'm always on the lookout for the best camsite, I just had to dive in and take a look. Today's page? Chaturbate.

Watching websites scramble for the top spot is always enjoyable, as competition between companies in a free market always creates a better experience for users and models alike. But the growth of Chaturbate has been astounding. I mean, they are still the busiest camgirl. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to look into and show you just how this page skyrocketed in popularity.

The Basics of Chaturbate

Just like many other camsites, Chaturbate offers users the typical model live feed with a chat bar on the side. I was unimpressed, at first, with the industry-standard layout. The color scheme also left me wanting. But, as I clicked around the site, I realized that its success leaned heavily on smaller details.

The basics, though, are all there. As with competing sites, I could view any performer on the home page, and swap between a few categories at the top. Some thumbnails play the live feed. All of them update regularly, though. I was a little frustrated at, after clicking a few links and buttons, the incessant request that I sign up and register an account.

I know it's commonplace in the camsite market to request registration, but it's more annoying on Chaturbate than some alternatives. Clicking on a thumbnail took me straight to the respective feed with no ads between me and the model - quite a breath of fresh air to be honest.

I can summarize this section pretty quickly: the site is unimpressive at first glance, with a bog-standard color scheme and layout, with no unique or eye-catching variables.

How Chaturbate Grew

So, what made Chaturbate rise to the top so quickly? Nothing stood out to me right away, which left me a bit perplexed. The variables grew apparent after some digging. It's quite obvious, for example, that the company prioritizes both the user and model experience. Whether you're working on the camera's end or watching through a screen, it's a good time.

When I say they prioritize the user and model experience, I mean it. It's not an empty statement or generic compliment. Everything's fast and easy. Even, surprisingly enough, signing up and registering an account. Chaturbate doesn't ask for a credit card or - wait for it - an email address!

You can own an account without revealing any personal information. Of course, I signed up right away to test it out. And, yes, it works just fine. It's nice to see more websites adding this quality of life changes. It is, after all, more of a luxury than a necessity. Models, for obvious reasons, have to provide more info.

Within minutes I was browsing the site with a funny username that I won't share here.

The Real Reasons for Growth

The website works, signing up is easy, and there are no ads as far as I can tell. While this is great, it's definitely not enough to justify Chaturbate's incredible growth. So, deeper I go.

From what I can tell, the camsite took off because of:

• Unique and well-executed features
• Incredible variety
• Easy setup for both users and models
• Welcoming approach to inclusivity
• Awesome hosting options
• An effective online and offline tip system
• Detailed chat customization

After re-reading that list, I realize that some might expect each item on any site. For this reason, I want to jump into each and explain why Chaturbate is doing it right.

But Not Everything Are Roses

If you head to the Unofficial forum for Chaturbate on ACF you will find many threads talking about accounts being banned for apparently no reason.

Perhaps the most famous situation was with Kati3kat, one of the biggest camgirls on Chaturbate, and I dare to say one of the biggest in the whole cam industry. She had her account suspended out of nowhere. Turned out she didn't do anything wrong, and later she got her account reinstated. But that situation frustrated her so much that she decided to move to Chaturbate's main competitor, MyFreeCams, and never look back again.

Some situations are sorted out, but many go without any response mainly because they don't want to tip a well-deserved banned account how to fool their admins.

Unique and Well-executed Features

The structure that holds up the site is composed of unique and well-executed features. Sure, a lot of what I found was industry-standard, but it's the execution in these cases that makes all the difference. One example involves the thumbnails. Sure, I can hover over it and see the live feed, but the additional details enhance the experience greatly.

Along with the thumbnail with live feed hover, all those on the same page refresh at a frequency of 30, 45, 60, and 90 seconds of delay. I can disable this if I want. Right away, though, I can get the full picture of what to expect before opening a stream. Below the model's name, there's more info. The live thumbnail display summary includes:

• Age
• Personalized intro
• Token or goal count
• Viewer count
• Time spent live
• Number of participants and count by gender
• HD availability

Notice that most of these details are not shown on the list of models on other sites, or are not made available at all. MyFreeCams for example, the biggest Chaturbate competitor, only shows the model's avatar/room preview and model's name. Users need to click on each model's menu to have access to more details.

I could, bear with me, "judge the book by its cover" before jumping in. I knew exactly what I was getting into every time, and didn't have to fear running into any surprises. Browsing is especially fun for me considering the site supports a floating player. I can join a feed and keep searching simultaneously. Of course other sites do this, but the execution here is just fantastic; it's seamless and light on resource use.

Most users might prioritize video and audio quality, which is something I can respect. But, the fact that it also takes care of people that enjoy the chat function is wholesome. The chat feed is top-notch. I have a bit more to say about this ahead, and it's worth the read.

Like most webcam sites, Chaturbate has its own currency known as tokens. They're purchasable, of course, but the site also offers free ways to earn them. I can increase my spending limit for 200 free tokens, or refer friends. These are used for private shows and unique actions during free streams. And, yes, everyone in the chat can stick around while others pay for certain acts. It's great.

Prices for private shows are all over the place, and so is the quality difference between streams - something to be expected of any site, to be fair. Models can choose between 6, 12, 18, 30, 60, and 90 tokens per minute.

Category Variety

I still love the hashtag style for categories, and Chaturbate has plenty of them. They're especially useful here, considering the sheer number of available categories. I was kind of astonished. Imagine what it's like to sift through ten full pages of hashtags, shared between various filters.

They're in random order, which is slightly frustrating, but the search bar provides a reasonable solution to the problem. Also, you can't sort by popularity, the number of viewers, or other common filters. The only options are women, men, couples, and trans, where each will display hashtags available for the filter. It works well enough.

Here's an example of a few that I saw on the first page:

• Asian
• Big Boobs
• 18
• Ebony
• Anal
• MILF
• BBW
• Latina
• Squirt
• Feet
• Pregnant
• Milk

Hashtags for categories aside, I want to mention the filters for browsing chat rooms. The filters for models are via region, recommended, and HD cams. There's a toggle for animated room images and location display on the thumbnail, as well.

Tip System

The tip system is what anyone would come to expect. I want to mention it here because the execution is fantastic. There's little delay between sending a token and the model receiving it. But, for memory sake, I found goals, amounts for certain actions, membership offers, gambling for actions, token-activated interactive toys, and exclusive content token asks.

I'll say it again. I mention the tip system because it works splendidly. If you're wondering "how tipping sent Chaturbate to the moon," the answer is through the highest quality experience available in the market.

Free-to-view Implementation

While it's quite common nowadays, free-to-view implementation still absolutely participated in Chaturbate's growth. People can join and aren't booted or left out when another viewer pays for an action. Private shows are different, of course, and I still enjoy my own private chat with some girls. But I love seeing everyone in chat celebrate when another participant throws in some cash.

Becoming the Biggest Camsite

As far as I can tell, Chaturbate sits at the tippity top of the totem pole in the world of camsites. And, as if what I've already explained weren't enough, there's even more. The healthy mix of quality for both performers and viewers really pays off. Performers, otherwise known as the bread and butter of any camsite, get the red carpet experience when they join. I think this is one of the largest contributors to Chaturbate's success.

Easy to Broadcast as Performer on Chaturbate

The ease of access for performers on the site is a primary catalyst for multiple positive effects. Something I love is the lack of an "exclusive performer" section. This keeps everyone on the same level, as far as I can tell. What's the impact? Oh, it's amazing; read ahead.

Avoiding the common trope of models paying to show up higher and first on the site is a good thing. It means that, when I browse the site, I'm going to find more variety and know that each performer has a shot at success. Everyone knows that more competition turns into a better service or product. So, I can also expect to see models doing their best to please me, the user.

Based on these facts, there's also more motivation for people on the fence about starting, to join Chaturbate and broadcast. This adds to competition by way of an influx of new talent, of course, which means I'll always get a better experience.

Performers can start broadcasting pretty quickly, keeping the already available models on their toes. I noticed, though, a well-thought-out layout for each stream. Models have a profile page that's very customizable.

I am from the time when linking to any site was highly forbidden by all camsites. That was the standard before Chaturbate. Now it is different. The site is friendly, as well, allowing links to social media like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, along with more links to OnlyFans, and Snapchat. It's obvious that Chaturbate wants to keep its models happy and comfortable.

I also found the premium or free content hosting was adequate, and the option for offline tips interesting. But, besides an easy setup process for broadcasters, the site is welcoming for all kinds of people. Its approach to inclusivity means that people of all colors, genders, sexualities, kink preferences, and more feel comfortable, as well.

Chat Settings

I honestly feel that chat settings play a major role as well, and they're worth mentioning. So, here's a quick look.

I could easily modify color, font, size, enable and disable emojis, change autocomplete delay, tip volume, highest token color, view, and edit ignored users, private message, and mention (using the @ symbol) other users and the model or models. Viewing the entire list of other users was fascinating. I could see how many tokens each user purchased along with their gender, and there's a little button that lets me set a personal note for each user.

But, and this is a big but, I couldn't chat as a guest, unlike some alternatives. What? Yea, I was shocked as well. Who knows, maybe that's what pushes people to register. But if they prioritize anonymity, why make me register. In summary, it's weird.

Chaturbate Raised the Bar

I could also go into the fact that the site has a plethora of languages available for people in over 100 countries around the world. I might touch on the different agencies that verify Chaturbate's legitimacy and safety. But I won't, though, because I don't consider these variables the primary reasons for the site's incredible growth.

The truth is, at the end of the day, Chaturbate excels due to strong performance and a high-quality experience for every single person that hops onto the website. I struggled to find anything that really struck a nerve and ruined my time spent there. And, yes, it feels like I'm singing praises left and right; it's with good reason, though.

Competition beware: Chaturbate's here to stay, and it's not dropping in popularity anytime soon. Sticking with what I said before, this is always a good thing. I think we'll start to see other sites emulate the effort to provide an optimal experience for users and performers. Until that day, Chaturbate will sit at the top.

Since its inception, LiveJasmin has always had a rigorous rule about nudity in free chat. It is a big no! Models can tease in lingerie but never show any private parts, not even be topless in free chat. But that has changed!

VIP Shows is the game-changer

Everything changes recently with VIP Shows. I went to DaianaElton's room, and she was topless. Not even trying to hide her nipples or anything. In fact, since she had reached the goal already, she had no panties either. Though, not showing her pussy because that is still not allowed in free chat.

I thought she didn't know the rules for a second, or she mistakenly believed that the VIP Show had already started. But DaianaElton is not that newbie, and she knows the rules. It was me who didn't know the new rules.

I checked with LiveJasmin support, and they were very clear:

"In case the performer is in a Pre-Show, she is allowed to in topless to attract more members to her VIP Show"

How often do girls go topless in free chat?

Unfortunately, not that many girls do topless during their pre-show. It makes sense for a model to tease and dance in topless if she has many potential buyers and sells tickets quite well. But that doesn't happen often. This is probably due to the lack of members and tickets they sell because most girls don't fully understand how to use VIP Shows.

So far I only saw two models doing topless: DaianaElton and HaileyPalmer.

Almost all of them just start a pre-show with no members in their rooms. They assume that members will start coming because they enabled VIP Show. It's partly true because there is a slight increase in traffic; most are members curious to know what show the model will perform. But then, most of them just throw away this extra traffic by just sitting there doing nothing. They barely interact with members; they don't dance, tease or do topless. Their selling point is simply "this is a super cheap show," and they see no reason to do anything else to convince members to buy tickets.

Of course, there is also the situation where the model's VIP Show revolves around her dancing topless. In this case, it would make no sense to be topless in free chat because that is essentially what the model will do on her VIP Show.
