I visited a model for 16 of the last 17 months on Many Vids. I absolutely hated the platform in every way but went there because it paid the best share of the money to the model of any cam site I'm aware of. So I took her private there despite utter craziness like the tip panel obscuring the view of the stream (useless when trying to tip a vibe for instance - you can either tip, or see, but not both at the same time - I mean, do they even test this stuff with prospective users? 5 mins testing would discover that was useless).
She's left there now and moved elsewhere and is making significantly more, despite the smaller cut. Many Vids Live just seemed to suffer from low traffic and what traffic I did see was the same handful of guys cutting and pasting the same bullshit into the chat day after day after day.
MV Live isn’t a true cam site anyway, no matter how much they like to tell themselves that they are. The fact that I once stayed live on there for 8 hours straight or more (the day of that token giveaway that I was trying to win), and didn’t receive any tips, private shows, or video sales from members in that time frame is pretty ridiculous. I DID win the token giveaway though, so it wasn’t a complete waste of time. Lol. Now despite how bad my MFC camscore is, I would’ve absolutely gotten SOME tips on MFC if I’d been live on there for 8+ hours. Good grief…
The fact that I’d placed in MV’s (MVLive?) Top Ebony Earners list just from someone tipping me 1,000 tokens. My first thought was “Omg, YAY!!!” My second thought was “Wait…that’s all it takes…1,000 tokens? That’s kind of sad, but can’t say I’m surprised (Black women are often unappreciated anyway…smh).”
I’ve logged out of my MV account before to take a peek into some top MV Live rooms, and saw that it’s dead in those rooms too. Few users, and hardly any tips coming in. The earnings showing up in their chat were usually about someone having purchased a fan club membership or something. That’s why it can be good for models to have videos (and other items/services) for sale. If these guys aren’t gonna tip for an ass flash, maybe they’ll check out your store and buy a video.
Oh, and ManyVids Live doesn’t even have an option for a member to turn on his cam to do c2c in a private show. And they still don’t let models know when a member has entered the chat, which I’ve found frustrating. It’s just that stupid total count of “how many people have visited this room today.” If I want to find out if someone is currently in my room, I have to constantly click the viewers (users?) tab to see who’s in the room right now. Dumb. There have been times when I had a regular sitting there in my room watching me, and I didn’t even know he’d been sitting there because his ass never says hi to me first.
He’d sit there silently, and not say anything until I said hi first. I found out he was in there only after clicking the viewers (users?) tab. These type of members (who won’t talk unless the model talks to them first) probably don’t even realize that we don’t know they’re there. Some of them are probably wondering why we haven’t said hi, and just assume we’re ignoring them.
