What in the heckin fuck is going on lately

I’ve never seen a tax refund season like this. As a cam model for the past 5 years I have perfected the art of knowing when the busy times are, and when the light times are, and lately it’s been all light. Even on weekends i cannot get more than 20-30 ppl in my chat and most are gray users. Members who use to throw hundreds of tokens aren’t even coming online anymore. Is webcam popularity being replaced something else? Is all the political change causing people to hold on to their money? I cannot wrap my head around this. I literally stayed online for 6 hours yesterday and made $30. There was no rush, there was no tip higher then 10 tokens all day. This was on CB. I went into other model rooms just to see if it was happening everywhere and it seemed like even the girls with 1000 ppl were not getting tipped and 95 percent of their viewers were also gray. WHAT IS GOING ON?! Where is everyone?!!!

As a member, I've certainly cut back on my time online. I've watched several coworkers get fired this year. It easily could have been me. On top of that this tax season bent me over something fierce.
Even home projects that I was planning on starting in the spring on being put on hold for now. The future feels way to rng for me to be throwing money around.

People keep saying things like that but I haven't noticed a drop in spending. I haven't paid much attention to the lists lately so I don't know if there's been an algorithm change or something.

For me, it started around the beginning of March. And it’s getting worse and worse. My schedule remains the same but I’m not getting traffic of many “real” users. I went from having several hundred in my chat to less than 50 even on weekends. I have worked really hard to build my platform over 5 years and i really would hate it if they are rearranging the algorithm in such a way where I’m going to be forced to quit. Because 30$ a day ain’t gonna cut it.

That’s fair but the question is when you feel better about the economic state will you be returning to throw money around?

Try different sites. Streamate right now just rocks! I multistreaming on cb, mfc and sm and that works for me - i do good with money on 3 pages, when cb is slow for hours - then for me is no problem to go on pvts on sm, and then on cb appears regular like yesterday almost nothing and then one long pvt on cb made my day. But multistreaming will keep u not bored and safe with money while waiting for regulars on cb

A slight aside but I love how you used "heckin" as a milder replacement for "fuckin" then immediately said "fuck" afterwards. Loving your work.

US economy.

the shit-slide of the US economy, planning for a fucked short-term future, and the current tax season have both definitely unpleasantly screwed all of my discretionary spending, even with my poor impulse control.
