Distribution of MFC wealth based on camscore

[NickT]

A while back I was wondering about how the revenue is distributed among the models. What percentage of the models make what percent of the revenue? I thought that if revenue has a linear relationship to camscore, then I can figure it out. By linear, I mean that camscore is directly proportional to revenue. For example, someone with a camscore of 20000 makes 2x compared to someone with a score of 10000 and 4x compared to someone with a score of 5000. At the simplest level, it's like assuming that camscore means tokens per day. Not that that's the case, but it's assuming that sort of relationship.

One night back around Dec 5th I recorded everyone's camscore. I then added up all the camscores and figured out what each person's percentage was. The results were something like this:

rank    name            score   her %   total%  rank %
----    ----            -----   ----    -----   ------
1       CrazySysy       16720   1.59    1.59    0.09
2       Tattgoddess     16253   1.54    3.13    0.18    
3       DevonAlexis     15282   1.45    4.58    0.27
...
25      Laylie          4791    0.46    20.23   2.24
26      LacieJames      4759    0.45    20.68   2.32
...
151     SexxxyAndreea   1519    0.14    49.85   13.53
152     Imogen21        1510    0.14    49.99   13.62
153     Hottalicia      1504    0.14    50.14   13.71
154     YourHotAngel    1495    0.14    50.28   13.80
...
223     Briannaxx       1159    0.11    58.90   19.99
224     HelenAngel      1150    0.11    59.01   20.07
..
1113    LoveSunshine    63      0.01    99.98   99.73
1114    DivineAna       60      0.01    99.99   99.82
1115    PlayfulBoobs    51      0.00    100.00  99.91
1116    Anzelika        49      0.00    100.00  100

her % Adding up all the camscore values equals 1052489. This column specifies what percentage that model contributes to the total. So for DevonAlexis, her value is 15282/1052489 = 1.45%. She is making 1.45% of the total revenue.

total % The sum of all the "her %" values up to this point. This gives the cumulative amount of revenue for all models at this rank and higher. So for 3rd row, it's saying that those three models are making 4.58% of all the revenue.

rank %Indicates the rank percentage of each model. There were 1116 total models. This value is rank/1116.

So what does this tell us? 20.23% of the revenue comes from 2.24% of the models (the top 25). 50% of the revenue comes from the top 13%. If a model has a camscore of 1500, she's right in the middle of the revenue. 50% of the models make more than her and 50% make less. 60% of the revenue comes from the top 20%.

This chart is just a guess. If the relationship is not linear, then the results would be incorrect. I'm assuming the formula is something like $=z*score. But if it's something like $=z*score^2, then the % would be different.

MFC may be artificially bumping the highest models score. If that's the case, then a higher % of models contribute to the top revenue. For example, MFC might be bumping the top 3 model's score higher making it look like they are bringing in a higher percent of the revenue.

There's also the 1000 score newbies. They have the effect of making the bottom models appear to bring in more revenue than they really do. If you take them out, the top models actually make an even higher percentage of the total revenue.

Of course, we don't know for sure how camscore relates to tokens. I have some ideas of how to figure out how they relate. I'll post them in the Camscore ??? thread.

Missed the edit window. Here's my post in the Camscore ??? thread where I talk about what data should be collected.

Interesting how the total camscore is just over a million. This gives evidence to the theory that there might be a finite amount of camscore that gets distributed among models. Factor in the fact that certain pornstars get an artificial camscore bonus, and the real total camscore available could be exactly a million.

This is an interesting study, but your assumption about camscore being linear to income is definitely not true. Camscore is largely affected by RATE of token income versus time online (as opposed to real time), so it is possible for two girls earning exactly the same amount to have very different camscores, if they spend different amounts of time online.

I'm not sure how accurate his numbers are actually. I don't see CandieCane listed with her camscore that's been over 20k for a while now and imagine there may be other models missing... geoblocks maybe? I reckon it's a bit of a coincidence that it was around 1 million. I still kind of favor the idea of a fluctuating pool with 1k camscore in the pool per model and then distributed based on some kind of of strange algorithm that determines what % of the pool a model gets.

The chart is just for camscores of models who were logged in on 12/5. It doesn't have everyone. The fact that the total is near a million is just a coincidence. If a different number of models were logged in, the total would be different. But with such a large sample size, I feel that the percentages are representative of the camscore distribution regardless of how many models are logged.

I don't know that there's a fixed amount of camscore that gets distributed among the models. There are many, many offline models who still have good camscores, like GoldenLady. If there was a fixed amount, I would expect those to go down. It doesn't seem like the offline scores change over time.

This is an interesting study, but your assumption about camscore being linear to income is definitely not true. Camscore is largely affected by RATE of token income versus time online (as opposed to real time), so it is possible for two girls earning exactly the same amount to have very different camscores, if they spend different amounts of time online.

I don't think that camscore reflects tokens earned at that moment. Camscore is reflecting tokens earned over some period of time, whether that's tokens per X days, tokens per X hours, or tokens per X minutes. Revenue to camscore could still be linear over that window of time.

If any of this has a point, please be so kind as to share it with us. What useful information are we to take away from all this random number-crunching? What hypothesis are you trying to prove?

I did it for myself. I did it because I was curious about how the money was distributed. I could see that a few models had much higher scores than others, but I wasn't sure how top heavy the distribution was. I posted it here because I thought the models might find it relevant.

It's useful to put the potential income into perspective. Models may see big numbers thrown around and think they can easily make the same. But the reality is that only a small percent make the big money. So the potential is there for any model to make big money, but she will have to work hard be in the top few %.

You see the same pattern in the USA or in pro sports. The population as a whole may have a lot of money, but when you look in detail you see that the top few % have the great majority of the wealth. There's nothing wrong with that--the top people deserve more. But it can help you figure out realistic income numbers for yourself. Just because Michael Jordan made $XX million doesn't mean everyone in the NBA is making millions too.

All that math gave me a headache! lol

I'm not a math person. I see where your coming from though.

In my eyes... Camscores should just be done away with. It's odd how I was making good money when I was on everyday yet my cam score was 400-500.

I haven't been on but maybe once a week since November & somehow my cam score is over 1,000. And I didn't make nearly the amount when I averaged up my time & how much I was on etc...

Camscores are headaches to me. Pfffft I don't care about them

There's nothing there that isn't either obvious or wrong. What's more, as you yourself admit, camscore is not representative of earnings over the last 60 days. Scores don't decay just because time passes and a model can have the same camscore as another with less income over fewer hours. The data is beyond useless. It's not exhaustive, it can't claim to be representative, it can not have been collected at a single point in time, it doesn't tell us how camscores are calculated (and specifically assumes linearity in the contribution of income to camscore without any justification), it doesn't show dollar figures, and worst of all, it assumes models are morons who couldn't have guessed that the top models make a lot more money than the average model can hope to.

I think that most models here would be offended at the thought that some of our members would prefer to jerk themselves off with a useless spreadsheet rather than watch them at work.

Well, you certainly are putting a lot of words in my mouth and making a lot of negative assumptions about my motivations.

Just because I don't have dollar figures, camscore equations, etc doesn't mean the data is useless. It's not meant to show those things. It shows camscore distribution. The data doesn't have to be exhaustive. By taking representative samples you can get a pretty good picture of the underlying model. And it was collected at a single point in time. I turned on my HTTP logging and extracted the scores from when I connected to MFC.

If you feel this thread is useless, feel free to ignore it. You won't hurt my feelings in the slightest. Considering that the thread about camscores is 17 pages long, I thought some people might find it interesting to see how camscores are distributed among the models.

I'd hate for a model just coming to the forum to read your post and actually think that's the way it works, though. I'll have to go re-read it and make sure it's clear that you're just tinkering with numbers and that your numbers aren't based off of any real substantial evidence.

As for a connection between income on MFC and camscore I'll say this. On the profiles homepage, I am normally around 15th-20th highest camscore. I am also quite often between 15th or 20th on Miss MFC. And I think back in May when I was in top 5 Miss MFC, I was also top 5 camscores. I always thought that was pretty cool and made sense. Not necessarily proof of any formulas though.

We've certainly proved before though that there are girls who have top 20 camscores who are rarely (if ever) in top 20 Miss MFC and that there are lower camscore'd models who are consistently in top 20 Miss MFC. Which means there are girls taking a higher % of the wealth but don't have the camscore to reflect it. Basically because of the tokens/time spent online having such a big part of the camscore.

Actually, the cam score is calculated based on time spent online and amount tipped. Therefore, most models make a little over %60. Every model get's .05 cents a token. It is based on the highest paid, so, the people who make more money have a higher cam score. A cam score is not a rating that people give you. It is soley based on tips. I worked there for one day. I made $72.25 for 219 mins of work. This is on the lower end of the scale for the avreage model. It was only my first day. My cam score is 9 hundred somthing. This will go up the more popular I get, only because I will be getting more tips and in less amount of time. The girls that have the most money and higher cam scores know how to work the audience. Something that has to be learned. Thus: Newer models, lower cam score and less money. It is all about the tips, not ratings.

I get the feeling that you haven't read any posts in the main "camscore?" thread on this forum yet.
