@Adara_raider I started silencing greys only once I started having enough colored 'regulars' that would help me fill the silence when nothing is going on. For the first month I left the grey users talk and it proved to be useful, but at one point I didn't find it necessary anymore and the freeloaders were too much to deal with. There are freeloaders even with colored users anyway so yeah, at least it puts a limit! I know grey users might buy tokens for you, you never know, but it only happened once to me and it's really too much of a hassle to deal with them imo.
And yeah some people definitely have multiple tabs open, when I stop broadcasting I usually leave the window open for a while and sometimes like 30 minutes after or even more there are STILL people in the room HAHAHA so it means they haven't realized I'm done yet. So either they're not even in front of the screen OR they're watching some other girls. I don't really mind, whatever, I have some 'regulars' who are almost always in my room but who tip 'irregularly'. But at least they're not like freeloading, they simply don't participate for a while, then one day they tip some.
In my case weekends are really good, the few times I tried to broadcast during the week I didn't make much...but yeah it's true that when you're in a relationship it's nice to make your schedules fit. In my case, my girlfriend is kind of a homemaker anyway so it's more a matter of me having to cam when I'm not at my vanilla job (which is a regular 9-5 weekdays kind of job). I've heard that it's possible to cam anytime though and succeed, but maybe it takes more time if you're not on while the 'bulk' of the viewers are? I noticed that it's also not too bad when it's evening in Europe (UK, Germany, France, etc). When I cam during the evening I even see what I call the 'slump' when it's wayyy too late in Europe and not late enough in America : around 11PM EST. But that has been my own personal experience anyway and only for a couple of months at that. I guess it might vary a lot.
