Ok, I found some articles about entitled people who think they deserve privileged treatment and who become rude when they get their wishes denied.
I think the rudeness is one problem, the freeloading is another.
Rudeness can damage the mood in the channel and even your business. Silencing or banning these people can help, but it can look bad in itself, and banned people can return with another account. Some apps offer an elegant solution which makes everybody happy, but that will be the topic of another post.
Freeloading won't affect your earnings, as that depends on the tippers, not on those who don't tip. If 3 people tip, you won't earn less or more because 1000 people watch for free. However, I often see models feel uneasy when a few people paid for a goal, but many freeloaders watch the model perform it, and as I already felt irritated when one very dear model who visited me tricked me into showing my nearly naked shoulder, I understand that undressing in front of 1000 freeloaders can feel very bad.
It won't help much to ban them, as they can return with another account or anonymously. The difference is just that you no longer know who is watching. That does not really improve your situation, though it might look less irritating if instead of seeing a list of 1000 names you see the summary “+ 1000 anonymous viewers”.
You proposed running a ticket show to keep the freeloaders from watching, and that is what I recommend. The details matter, though. It's important not to charge visitors who already tipped, because they contributed to the goal, and they might feel tricked or cheated when they have to pay again, even if it's just one token. Thus I recommend using an app like
Tip3Dice with a command like
#hide +1 Strip Show
which hides the camera and grants tickets to anybody who has tipped 1 or more tokens today. Thus those people who already tipped for the goal have tickets, as they should. Freeloaders see a black screen. Often it's amazing how many people remember they own 1 token and tip it just after the ticket show started.
Likewise, the model can hide particularly daring actions won by rolling dice:
#hide +23 Hand Bra 5 min
Here, the minimum amount of tipped tokens required to get a ticket should be lower than the price for rolling dice, else people who already rolled dice might feel tricked if everybody saw the action they won and paid, but they cannot see an action won by somebody else. The ticket price should not be the exact price of a tip menu action or the exact price for rolling dice, as those visitors who did not tip all day and now buy a ticket would all trigger the same action instead of just getting a ticket.
For example, if rolling dice cost 25 tokens, I usually recommend to give tickets to those visitors who tipped 23 or more today. When the hidden show begins, several visitors will tip 23, some visitors tip 24 because they understand “23 or more” as meaning “more than 23”, but nobody tips 25 to get a ticket, which would certainly buy them a ticket, but also cause the dice to roll again.
It can be quite a useful strategy to perform all daring actions in short ticket shows of, says, a few minutes, granting tickets to everybody who, in total, tipped a certain minimum amount that day, for example, 23 tokens. Best is not raise that minimum amount during the show. Visitors will quickly understand that a ticket is valid all day. That makes them stay, They also feel to be part of small a privileged group of ticket owners, and they probably return next day.
