Possibly, but I imagine the traffic would be terrible. The whole point of camsites (for the member) is the interactivity. If you take that away, we may as well just be watching porn (and I heard a rumour that you can get some of that on the internet for free. Haven't looked into it yet though :?).
People say stuff along the lines of, "if you ain't participating, you might as well just go watch a porn," around here, but I've always found the reasoning behind it a bit amiss. Watching a person perform live, even if it is over the internet, is fundamentally different from watching a fixed recording. And that's true, whether you're actively participating in the live performance or passively taking it in. There is a rawness to watching the action transpire in the moment, an, "I was there when," factor. For my part, I have always preferred to be a passive audience member, and so my default setting is turning room chat off and muting the sound feed. But just because I don't want to participate in the action, that doesn't mean I don't want to be there to watch as it happens.
