I'm curious to know what you people think of it and the way things are set up right now. Let's have an honest conversation about it
If it's necessary to move this to Verified, mods please do.
Ok so what's the deal all about?
From the beginning of Chaturbate’s inception, the placement algorithm favors ONLY streamers with the most viewers in their room, regardless of their customer satisfaction feedback, their stream quality (Both on Audio and Video), their connection quality and other metrics that could be used to Differentiate legit streamers from those who probably aren’t.
All that mattered was that the most viewers a girl had in her room, the higher her placement was, which turned the site into a disastrous popularity contest.
As such, we have seen disastrous consequences such as models using bots to boost their placement and not only slowing down the site’s performance, but also putting newcomer streamers in an uncomfortable position where it’s harder for them to gain traction regardless of their stream and content quality because it makes it VERY difficult for viewers to find them.
Sure, the site has taken some measurements to stop this and make things better, such as integrating OBS support on the site and changing the algorithm so ONLY those accounts with tokens would weight into the site’s placement. However, this is still a popularity contest and things haven’t changed much, sadly. In fact, it’s still quite difficult for newcomers to gain traction precisely because their rooms are buried and even as of today, there are many (Unconfirmed, but rumor has it) streamers who use black hat (Hacking) methods to inject bots with tokens somehow. It’s totally not ok that a site operates like this and it only hurts the streamers.
Clearly things have to change. As it stands the site is the 5th largest adult site on the internet and the largest campsite, traffic wise, according to SimilarWeb’s analytics. Data that seems similar to what Alexa’s ranking shows. This puts it above Streamate (Debatable due to its infinite whitelabels) and MyFreeCams, so if you ask me, being the most popular camsite on the internet means they should also be as transparent as possible with the streamers and try to make sure everyone has a fair chance to grow their brand on the site.
Sure, at the end of the day what matters the most is the streamer's hustle, but don't you all think there's a considerable room for improvement here?
Let's discuss.
