Are there any advantages for a model to be a supporting member on chaturbate

[Hildiesub]

I broadcast on Chaturbate as a basic member. I once signed up to be a supporter to see if there were any perks, but I didn't see anything that was worth it. I wonder if there are any advantages at all to being a supporting member for a model. None of the advertised perks are important to me. However, I'm curious if being a contributor might help with account security. All those "account banned/suspended" problems that I read about here makes me nervous. I was wondering if anyone had any indication that the people at chaturbate might be more attentive and nicer to models who are supporting members.

With a supporter account there are no ads and you can change your text color/style without an app running and you can PM anyone you want in any room.

I see no reason to give CB $20 a month for this as a lot of broadcasters won't let verified broadcasters chat at all in their rooms.

Or you can do what one guy does every month, cancel it before it charges you for the next month and get 200 free tokens every month, but you're still out $10.

Thanks, that's about what I figured. Not worth the cost. I was hoping at least for a rumor that being a contributor would lessen the dreaded "account banned for no reason" type complaint.

Nope but being a "convention model" does. You gotta go rub elbows with the big wigs for that level of protection. Or at least that is what I have been led to believe over the years.

Supposably you get Anonymous Tipping. I guess that might be useful to some people.

 

[droopla]

You get PM and DM in all rooms , some models use DM for spamming .. ;-)

I might be "that guy" -- or at least one of those guys -- who creates and cancels a "Supporting Member" alias every month in order to get the 200 tokens, * the ability to DM and PM models, the ability to tip anonymously (which I have done on occasion for various reasons), and the option to change my alias color & text color : I am almost always Dark or Light Purple, naturally . . and I often change to Light Blue in order to be more "covert" and evade unsolicited targeting while exploring rooms . . and then shift back to Dark Purple when I'm in a Model's room who I am particularly fond of in order to help their algorithmic ranking.

A "Supporter Membership" costs $19.95 and you get 200 tokens, which would otherwise cost me $16, so I figure I'm getting the other perks for $4/month = $1/week < $.25/day.

I try and keep as much continuity between my various aliases as possible, which is easy enough if you simply add a number to the end of the alias, such as the calendar month (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12) . . or create aliases that are somehow similar or related to each other, such as . . hmm . . for example, twelve recurring Cheers characters: (1) sammalone (2) dianechambers (3) erniepantusso (4) carlatortelli (5) normpeterson (6) cliffclavin (7) frasiercrane (8) woodyboyd (9) lilithsternin (10) rebeccahowe (11) nicktortelli (12) paulkrapence.

[* Caveat: since joining ACF and attempting to inform and educate myself as much as possible -- sometimes too much, some might say -- it has been brought to my attention that DM-ing and PM-ing models "for free" just because CB says I can is not cool, which I had not previously been aware of . . so I have ceased that practice and now use their Tip Menu if possible . . or simply don't PM them if it's not on their Tip Menu]

Switching between user colors doesn't help or hurt a model's rank. How many tokens you spent and posses at the time of your visit does. As well as active tipping and the number of people who hold tokens.

The only color change that affects a model's rank is from blue/purple to green as in fan club member.

Basic accounts can change user name color without being a supporter account.

Edit to add: tip notes are PMs. Just saying.

 

[droopla]

you don't need to be a supporter to change your color (you can rank yourself down , not up)

Wait what? They are no longer giving the 200 token offer over and over to the same username?

posses at the time of your visit does.

You mean the old theory that the total tokens possessed by users has an impact on positioning? That theory was disproven years ago.

Disproven by who?

Disproven by who?

A few studios tested it and I also tested it.

A colored name with a few tokens sitting in a room with a model has the same positional value as a colored name with 8000 tokens sitting in a room. We know it's still the same positional value when it's sorted by time online.

I'm not very good with time but I think that was tested like 4-5 years ago? I know for sure it was before the anti staleness system/theories.

I sincerely doubt any of the tests you or anyone else ran can actually mirror the conditions of a live room on CB. Therefore it is just a guess. I don't mean any offense here, it's just not likely you can reproduce the same environment.

I'm honestly rather sick of this discussion. Rank is only a part of the equation, there are many many fish who avoid big rooms and front page starlets.

They are live rooms just near the back of the list. There are many things that are difficult to test but the positional value of a single user is doable because of that tie breaker time online system.

Tie breaker?

 

[cbhours]

Tie breaker?

Yeah when models have the same positional value on CB the tie breaker is their the length of time they have been online. That's why when you go towards the back of the model list there will be sections sorted by time online although less now than what it used to be because back then they definitely didn't have any anti staleness algorithm.
