Ridiculous review of MFC

[Guy]

Xchatz, a website that reviews camsites, gave MFC a really negative review. I think the review is ridiculous.
http://xchatz.com/review-of-myfreecams/

 

[LaceyRoyce]

The reviewer is simply looking for a site that's really good for cheap privates and shows, and has no understanding of how MFC actually works, the social nature of the site or even the fact that so much of MFC's income is based on tips and public shows. He says he was suprised when a model turned down his private request when she was in 'free chat'... meaning he doesn't understand that she might be making all or more of her income in public chat (or might be obligated to stay in public if she's working on a countdown etc just that its cool to discuss a private first or check rules). He also didn't bother to investigate any of this further before writing his review.. lol. why wouldn't you say "hey i noticed you turned down my private request, i'm new here .. can you explain how this works?"... not that hard. Like he's talking at the end at being suprised models were asking for things in public chat. It sounds like he didn't spend much time at all on the site.

basic comprehension is missing here... it doesnt take *that* long on mfc to figure out how things work. It might not be what this dude is looking for but.. yeah, really narrow sited review.

 

[Catcommand]

Looks like they are very upset about price of the pvts. I think this review is focused more on cam2cam and pvts.

For me, mfc shines in social aspects and public shows.

The reviewer doesn't seem to understand cam sites in general, much less a site like Myfreecams. How many cam sites has he been to? Since when was $6 a minute so insanely expensive? Kinda seems like a guy who spends way more time on the tube sites vs cam sites.

I retract my tubesite comment. I guess there are a lot of really cheap cam sites. I still don't think the prices he's complaining about are that bad or unreasonable.

 

[WebcamStartup]

Notice there's no ref-link (or any link) on the MFC review. Sure as shit, there's one on the Chaturbate review. 'Nuf said.

[EDIT] and all the other sites. CB was the only one I saw on the sidebar, figured the only other one there was. Ref links on all the other "Good Reviews".

 

[Lorelei]

...who would find a review like this even vaguely credible? The language is atrocious. Granted the article was clearly written by someone who is ESL, but that little thinkpiece is about as beneficial as last month's local advertising circulars.

Presentation aside, yeah, the reviewer clearly spent about 10 minutes on MFC just to rustle up some bad things to say in order to promote other camsites with his oh-so-helpful affiliate links.

I think that's the shadiest thing to do... trash a website in hopes that the sites that you have referrals with (with good reviews) are used instead. Very deceiving.

Well... this guy's site is providing me with entertainment.

http://xchatz.com/streamate-com-live-chat-review/

Here are some examples of rates in the private chat mode.

• Streamate pornstars rates sit between $3.99 and $5.99
• Streamate regular cam models rates sit between $1.99 and $3.99

He got the rates wrong and didn't mention premium chat.

When I was on Streamate and Gold shows had become the new, big thing (and I chose to not do them), I'd get guys coming into my chat room bitching "$5.99 a minute??? Are you fucking crazy???" I figured they were A) the kind of obnoxious guys who hop from room to room looking to see who's the cheapest, while they are so rude/demanding ...or B) they had become so spoiled from Gold shows (since nowadays, guys can chip in $1 - $5 for a Gold show AND get a set of videos to go with it) that suddenly, paying a model's per-minute rate is just so beneath them. Lol.

 

[MrSwoob]

The reviewer uses the idea of camgirls from 10 years ago. The model of delivery has changed into a what mfc is today, social interaction, and not just peep shows. The model is going to continue to change to more VR and soon.

[WebcamStartup]

You get a lot of this in every industry vertical. Makes affiliate marketers and SEOs look bad. In my opinion, all review sites should be UGC (User Generated Content). Not only do you put the review process on auto-pilot, but you can look through individual reviews, submit your own reviews and get a much better idea of what sites are "best".

Granted, even going that route, it's possible to cherry-pick the reviews you want to paint the type of picture you want. But, at least it's more trustworthy than pointed reviews like that site contains.

Wow, either that guy is quite the SEO or purchased a good domain. DA:32? I was expecting something like DA:10. The onsite SEO is complete crap though. Gonna have to really work to compete with WeCamgirls and some of the other bigger camming review sites.

 

[WebcamStartup]

I'd also put money on it: If Crak was still offering an MFC Revshare program, that would have been a positive MFC review.

 

[Snowie1969]

He is right about one thing though: MFC's stream size and quality leave a lot to be desired compared to other camsites.

<sarcasm>But hey, models have social stats now</sarcasm>

You can change the stream size. Now at least.

 

[Snowie1969]

You can change the stream size. Now at least.

True.. i can even make it full screen (not counting the 300 pixel wide black strokes left and right of the stream because MFC thinks everyone still has old computerscreens), but i can not select the (higher) quality.. models can.. and I am not a model.

We are too business oriented. Because it's a job, not a alternative to eharmony???

"Dating a webcam girl is not possible at livejasmin.com because this terms of service mention that camgirls & visitors can’t exchange personal details. Except livejasmin.com, we haven’t read anything that would prohibit dating webcam girls from streamate,"

Ha, joke's on him, exchanging contact info is prohibited on Streamate, too. They're bad about making that clear to members, but girls have seriously been suspended for saying as much as "Google me" when asked for their social media username.

I dont care what some twat on a site that I never heard of says. I am worth $5.99 a minute and not a penny less. If your ass cannot afford $5.99 a minute or even $2.99 a minute and you are constantly complaining about it, just stop visiting camgirls all together. If you will go out and buy an adult dvd that is on average about somewhere between $12.99 to $27.99 per title, why dont you complain that about that as well? I mean its kind of the same thing as camgirls cause you are still viewing porn but its not mainstream porn. I have complained time and time again that camming which is a subsection of the adult industry should be better regulated and that everything should be monetized within it but I usually get scrutinized by the freeloaders cause all they want is freebies. If you have been spoiled by tube sites for years, you think you can come in a girl's room and just expect to get free shit but that's not how the game works. Never lower your rates and Never sacrifice what you want to please some dickbag who will drop $300 on a stripper but complain about $1.50 a minute to a PSO or $5.99 a minute to a camgirl.

$6.00 a minute isn't expensive at all.

 

[Johndoe91]

Call me cheap all you want, but to me $6 a minute is expensive.
That being said, I dont go to models who charge that much and complain about it. That's why I go to a site where the model chooses her own rate when I'm looking for a private, and find someone I like at a price I'm ok with. I figure is she set the rate, she must be ok with making that much.

No tea and No shade but um....you sound just like the type of member or client that most camgirls hate or secretly just dont like. You want a lot for very little money and you sound extremely cheap. You clearly scream "freeloader" and "beggar". You have no consideration for the fact that a camgirl is technically running a business and trying to grow a business by appealing to so called high end clients. There are only 3 reasons why a camgirl would lower her prices so low that she barely makes any money. 1. The camgirl is afraid of not having any clients at all so she lowers her prices to appear likeable but usually suffers financially. 2. The camgirl is probably a crackhead or a prostitute in real life and just needs a few extra dollars cause the stroll is dry or ol girl needs a quick hit of that rock. Thankfully there is only a small population of camgirls who are actually crackwhores. 3. The camgirl has not done any prior research on what to price clients and just throws out a random price that seems right and often its the wrong one and she suffers financially for such a easily avoidable decision. I am a niche. I am an anamoly. I am black and I am a bbw and I dont act like every other fucking stereotypical black woman online and because of that, my prices are high. People pay more for niches because they are niches! I am fully aware that I am in a business where you have to be white, blonde, and 105 lbs to be truly successful like make the big huge dollars and go to the huge conventions and get the cam awards and thats why I work 10x times harder than some of my contemporaries. Oh and if you believe that there is a black Jenna Jameson, name one without googling. Hell, if you believe that there is a major major major Latina Jenna Jameson, name one without googling....you cant. I dont expect to ever be the black Jenna Jameson of the bbw world but I wont stop working until I get within one inch of that kind of fame and glory. I am not a rich woman by anyone's standards but I make money on every cam site that I work. I have followings that are constantly growing on each site that I work and do you know why that is? Because I offer a good show. I offer a show that makes my clients happy. When my clients come into my room, I do my damnest to make those guys feel like they are the most important men in the world. My shows are worth $6 a minute because I put my heart, and soul, and money into them and I expect a return on my investment and I work toward a return on my investment. I dont know exactly what your deal is but clearly you only view camshows from camgirls who are subpar at best because the best ones charge high prices because they know they can deliver a good product.

Hell, you could be $3 a minute, and there's always gonna be someone saying it's "too expensive," or even trying to negotiate like it's a yard sale. Lol. Some of these people will not hesitate to spend a lot on other luxury items for themselves, but when it comes to sex workers that's when folks begin to scoff at prices and trying to negotiate. Not directed at you, Johndoe91, since you said you don't complain directly to models about their prices (Thank you for that, by the way).

I kid you not...one of my MFC regulars came over to see me on ImLive once (where I do not do free chat), and when he came into my private chat (which, at the time, my price was either $2.80 or $3.80/min.) he was like "Wow, you're expensive on here." Lmao. What? Nah, you know what I think? When guys go from visiting a model's MFC public chat every day (where they can watch her for free)...to suddenly visiting her elsewhere (where she disables free chat) where he has to pay PER MINUTE to see her live, he's most definitely gonna have to come out of his wallet, and he will feel like MFC gives him the sweeter deal. That is where all this "That's expensive" talk is coming from.

Also, anyone who thinks $6/minute for a live show on a sex site is "expensive" will be in for a rude awakening if they start visiting many of the lovely ladies of Streamate. Because it's not uncommon for a Streamate model to have per-minute rates of 5.99...6.99...7.99...8.99. This is why when you see them offering $1 - $5 Gold shows, they're reminding all the numbnuts sitting there staring/not tipping "Guys, you're getting a great deal here, because my premium/exclusive rates are such and such per minute."

What kills me is that some of these people who complain about cam girls' prices are the same ones who won't bat an eye at spending $60 PER game for PS4 games from GameStop, or a bunch of fancy stuff for their car. Then wanna come online bragging about their purchases, and then make remarks to us like "Slow night, huh?" and "Damn, I wish I could tip you. Y'all need to tip this girl!" Lol.

Considering that on Chaturbate they can charge up to $9 a minute and on Streamate up to $15 a minute, I don't understand why a lot of guys say that privates on MFC are overpriced.

 

[yummybrownfox]

Considering that on Chaturbate they can charge up to $9 a minute and on Streamate up to $15 a minute, I don't understand why a lot of guys consider MFC privates to be overpriced.

Maybe they've gotten cheaper shows with other models ($2/min. privates, or 20-min. Skype shows for only 400 tokens), and now have unrealistic expectations for what models in general should charge.
Or maybe they're just cheap when it comes to sex sites. Lol. Who knows? I think it's best to not drive yourself crazy asking a bunch of questions about why these guys do what they do. They can either pay the price that's in front of them, or move on.

I, personally, would just rather avoid any member who's gonna haggle over prices, or talk to me like he's doing me a favor by going private. I've actually had a guy on MFC make a big production out of taking me private, and then after he did he's like "Can you hook me up with some custom pics since I just took you private?" Dude, you've gotta be fucking kidding me...

 

[HornyJohnny]

My shows are worth $6 a minute because I put my heart, and soul, and money into them and I expect a return on my investment and I work toward a return on my investment. I dont know exactly what your deal is but clearly you only view camshows from camgirls who are subpar at best because the best ones charge high prices because they know they can deliver a good product.

Your show is worth 6$ a minute because MFC said so, You don't have a say in it.

I've had thousands of private shows in over a decade and have yet to see any correlation between price and quality. MFC video quality alone is not worth 6$ a minute to begin with, no matter how good the performer is.

I never ask models to lower their price and never beg for anything. I do go for hour-long private, or longer, and girls love me. I've had skype shows and paid full price. I don't like places like MFC. It's a circle jerk of men throwing nickels and dimes, like throwing peanuts at monkeys to perform tricks. Not every member likes that and not every model likes to perform in public. Plenty of girls would rather do cheaper but longer pvt than sit in free chat or perform for tips.
