Here's an industry article about camming
It contains quotes from all the major cam sites.
I especially loved this section:
'Within the webcam space there are a variety of different product offerings and customer experiences and it is important that affiliates and performers both understand the nuance that differentiates a webcam platform so that they can find the best business fit for them,' Estes pointed out.
Even with all the technology and infrastructure, the quality of the models on any given cam platform will always be the biggest draw. The most technologically advanced cam site cannot sustain itself without fan-friendly models logging on.
With that in mind, Tim Siner said the time is now for platforms to take better care of their talent.
'I believe companies that undervalue or under pay their talent are making a huge mistake,' Siner suggested. 'Models are getting more savvy. Technology is expanding at a breakneck pace. Look at how Uber has nearly decimated the taxi industry. Model-to-customer platforms are already live, and there are several more in development. My advice to the big boys usually goes something like this: 'Keep your models happy and well compensated. They are your product. Without them, you have nothing.''
As a Streamate model, this was........ errrr...... interesting:
Vanessa, the director of talent recruiting for Streamate, knows first-hand about nurturing the model side of the live cam ecosystem. She works with performers on a daily basis and listens to their wants, needs and concerns. (Me: OK Vanessa, you're listening. But what is anyone at Streamate actually DOING about the models wants, needs & concerns? We can't get anyone in management to take the issue of LIVE support seriously. Can't log-on, can't make money for Streamate or ourselves! Repeat: 'Keep your models happy and well compensated. They are your product. Without them, you have nothing.'')
