This may be an unpopular opinion, but here's my two cents:How do you feel about taking your own recorded private shows and posting them on onlyfans?
I mean, unlike a custom video, privacy is in the name of the serviceThis may be an unpopular opinion, but here's my two cents:
Yes, fans are paying for your time in private. BUT. There's only ONE of you to ever exist on this planet. You're a big fucking deal. I'll give you an example...when fans order custom videos from me, I do resell them, unless they pay extra which is a HEFTY fee, for exclusivity rights. It is what it is. It's my world and those are my rules.
I have posted recorded Skype shows before and would do it again.
It IS important to respect the privacy of fans, so if at any time they are shown on the screen or whatever, edit them out in post. Conceal their identity. That kinda thing.
Yeah that!Once it's been edited its actually not their "private" or "exclusive" show anymore anyways. It's been re-cropped and is usually significantly shortend with tons of stuff omitted, so it's actually a different show. The only way it would be "their" private is if it were the whole thing in it's full entirety, which it never is.
Legality doesn't determine if something is right or not.Yeah but legally they don't own the rights to it... so.
So many repost their own privates on tube sites for free, but we do it, after careful editing and quality control, and we're crucified for it (when we are actually the one's who own it, and who are featured in it, not them).
So I do disagree with those who are against models doing this to make extra money. But everyone has a right to their own opinion, and to avoid models (like me) who openly and unashamedly do this, if it's not something they like.
I can see why they would be against broadcasting it on another site for free simultaneously or posting the whole paid session to OF at no extra cost. But a carefully edited clip, that features only the model, and is full price... c'mon... Seems like having a problem with that is taking things way too far, and way too seriously imo. Especially if they get a free high-quality copy at no charge too. But people have a right to if their own opinion, and to avoid those of us who do it all they want. That's fine w me.
That is true, it could be seen as an ethics issue by a possessive type member.Legality doesn't determine if something is right or not.
I feel that this is fair for all parties involved. If someone is just posting a whole private show for free, I don't think that's right at all, unless the person who purchased the initial show doesn't care of course. The way you do it is smart and respectful.I don't post the whole thing but I post portions of some...Like 2 or 3 mins tops
How do you record it without exposing the other member's privacy or do you just edit out all sound and then add a voice track or music over it?It is literally a one sided show which doesn't include anything the buyer typed, said, or showed on C2C. It is literally parts of half of a show, that features me only (the model), and has no identifying info or risk for the original show buyer whatsoever.
Lots of members type and don’t have sound. Those that do have sound never used to be picked up on my old computer. On my new computer they can be, but only if I have the volume up, and they have a good mic. Most often I can hear them but my speakers never pick up their voice which is cool. Usually they only talk during the first portion of the show anyway, so I cut that, if it was even picked up. Once in a great while a guy talks throughout the show, and it gets picked up, so I just trash that recording completely. Which means he cannot get a free copy of his show.I feel that this is fair for all parties involved.

That is so much work you do afterwards! After doing all that editing, I can completely understand you wanting some additional compensation. Is this typical for SM models to do? If so, why hasn't SM just implemented a way for the member to download the private immediately and directly to their collection? CB has this option and it's really nice. Maybe it's not something that people commonly want? Though it seems like it would be.Lots of members type and don’t have sound. Those that do have sound never used to be picked up on my old computer.

I live cam on streamate only. So I can only send them free through the streamate system. The staff take 3 or 4 days to approve or reject new vid uploads. They would reject any clip that had any music or noise (aside from my voice), and are very strict about that. So when I record privates I have really strict and time consuming editing criterion that I have to follow. Hence why average edit time for me is at least an hour. I usually crop, cut stitch, and have to go through the whole thing 2 times at a total minimum. Plus watermark etc etc Checking for any and every little thing. While wearing It’s not like ManyVids or some of the clip sites where you just upload and that’s that. These clips I am talking about are hand reviewed by SM staff.
The TOS also state that any staff member can look in on any private show at any time. So this perception that these shows are ever truly private is and always has been a fallacy. I’ve been aware of that since day 1, but I understand that others perhaps have not researched it or thought it through. Which frustrates me given I did, but whatever. I like that there is never any true one on one privacy, even via DM.
That adds a level of boundary and safety to all interactions that I really appreciate. One of the main reasons I went exclusive with that site. It can be very strict.
When I went for a month or so of asking at the beginning of each show I never got a No. Then after that most regulars assumed I would be recording every show, editing, and sending them a free copy. I don’t always feel like that level of work. If I work a 3 hour shift, that can be anywhere from 5 to 30 shows. That’s days and days of editing afterward. I don’t always want to do that for everyone.
It’s actually a shit ton of super intensive editing work. But I don’t expect everyone to consider or appreciate that. Their pejorative to judge what they want. Mine to disregard their judgement.
Thank you for your response! You really gave me the feedback I was looking for. So what I’m going to do is put a disclaimer in my bio somewhere that all the rights to my videos are mine including private and tell anyone requests out to check my bio first. I’m tired of certain users making us feel bad for what we are entitled to.Sorry for DP, but also want to point out something else (I've spent a lot of time thinking about this over the last few years).
Once it's been edited its actually not their "private" or "exclusive" show anymore anyways. It's been re-cropped and is usually significantly shortend with tons of stuff omitted, so it's actually a different show.

Thanks, I'm not sure what the other models do. I don't think many provide them free to the original show buyer like I do, or as frequently as I do. But I can't know for sure.That is so much work you do afterwards! After doing all that editing, I can completely understand you wanting some additional compensation.

It hasn't decreased sales at all, quite the opposite.There's always a chance ofcourse that this will decrease the amount of Privates you get. But if you make more by reselling the ones you do get, hey good for you.
Great, then don't, that's a right you have... to choose who you get shows with. Just like it's a right I have, to choose who I do shows for/ with and who I want to accomodate and to what extent.Personally I would never start a Private if I know it would be sold later. During the Private, I think I would feel weird knowing other guys will see it one day. I would be treating it different and enjoying it less.

Read the TOS of all the sites and answer that yourself. It's literally spelled out for you.Would the cam sites approve of this? If a member finds their private show being sold on Only Fans, could they report the model?
I include some heavily edited portions of 1-3 minutes. And it's not even a consecutive 1-3 minutes, it jumps around, and often had 10-30 secs nudity max. Usually, those are from shows 30 minutes long or so, which were 20 mins plus of nudity. I never post the full thing.I am just curious for 1 question to be honest, for anyone that DOES pst/share recorded private show on their OnlyFns, do you include it/them (some, all?) in the monthly renewal/subscription, or do you ma them b PPV?
I think if the member gets them "free" (by this mean just pay the 1 monthly price for subscription) it's a no-no for me, and I don't like this, BUT if it's the latter and they are individually PPV, then that is perfectly acceptable, even if it's only$1 r $2 for 10 minutes+
