When I first joined MFC I was a regular joe blow tipper, dropping small tips and the occasional large tip afterwards. I tipped towards public shows, and participated in groups. It was afterwards that I couldn't help but regret my decision. What did I pay money for? After that realization I started hanging out in the Lounge much more often. Reading these threads on freeloaders has also pushed me further away from actually visiting models' rooms except for a select few where I know I'll be appreciated. I know each model obviously wants tips and to make money, but I contribute with my personality, sense of humour and camaraderie.
Another factor to consider is the comparison between MFC and other sites on the Internet. The Internet is LOADED with porntubes now, some of which include MFC content. One of the most popular and content-filled porn sites, Brazzers, charges $27.95 per month or you can buy a one year membership for $119.88 which works out to $9.99 a month. Before MFC's recently-introduced small token packages, the smallest token package was 200 tokens for $20. Comparing MFC to those previous two options, it's easy to see that MFC offers the least bang for the buck. Maybe if MFC gave more tokens, say 300-400 for $20 then maybe premiums would tip more?
One of my favourite models (name withheld, but she doesn't post here) rarely gets fully naked in public, has never done a public cum show to my knowledge, doesn't care where she ranks in MissMyFreeCams, yet rakes in a lot of tokens in private and consistently finishes top 100. The best advice that I can give to models is to restrict your best work for group or private.
IMO, there is a world of difference between watching a porn clip and chatting live with a beautiful woman online.
