Back when I was more active in live cam on MFC, I would add my most loyal/generous regulars to my calendar and post birthday fan signs on Twitter for them. Not shockingly, that list of people was heavily comprised of people who tipped me VERY well on my special days (birthday, cammiversary, maybe valentines or halloween for bonus stuff). As I mentioned before, this sort of behavior and reciprocation is much more inclined to happen in a room on a token site that prides itself on a social/community focused room.
I will also say, the comment about hoping cam time was an escape from reality... it was worded badly but yeah it kinda is a thing. Once again in very social/community driven room where the model really does interact and exchange personal life experiences with the crowd. There have been many nights I was in a terrible mood/head space and clicking broadcast was the best thing to do, as my regular supporters were completely there for me to vent my frustrations/pains/whatever and I logged off in a more relaxed state than I logged in. (However I'll add that if none of them tipped during that hangout, I'd have felt worse, so.... ?)
