Obviously I can't answer for Amber, but I feel the same way, mostly. I don't think it's a very good form of advertisement overall, but it must work here and there. So it has a slight positive. There's also a slight negative, in that no one's paying me for it. So overall it's neutral and not worth the time/effort to get things taken down that will just be put back up again. I do try to get my videos that I sell taken down from tube sites, but not recordings, since anyone could have watched that for free anyway.
I don't worry too much about people recognizing me. Anybody who interacts with me enough to recognize me based on a video on the internet already knows what I do. There are plenty of people who I would rather not be seen by, but that's mostly because it would be awkward for THEM. Despite what so many members seem to think, not everybody is just itching for the chance to see me naked. Depending on the kind of relationship I have with the person and their level of comfort with sexuality, it may be an unpleasant experience. I think people are smart enough to know not to look at camgirl videos if they don't want to see their camgirl friend naked, so that's on them at that point. If I found out someone I knew had intentionally searched out my stuff, or even decided they wanted to watch after stumbling upon it, that's cool as long as they treat me with the same respect they did before.
Thank you so much for your post. You addressed a number of issues in a really common-sense way. One thing I'd like to comment on, is your remark that "not everybody is just itching for the chance to see me naked." Something that I've noticed during the short time I've been around, is that when I first enter a girl's chat room, I generally don't have a problem seeing her nude or performing some type of show. But the more I get to know the girl, the more awkward and uncomfortable it becomes. I'm just wondering if you've experienced this with any of your regulars, and if so, how do you deal with it?
And in answer to HiGirlsRHot, in about 2 months time, I've personally witnessed maybe 3 people enter a chat room and say, "Hi, I saw videos of you on the Interwebs." So, yeah, in some sense I guess it is free advertising, although I certainly know cam girls who hate the idea of being recorded despite the free publicity.
