I have to check my phone once in a while too. Usually, I'm not chatting though, I'm either using the calculator, seeing what scripts are ready for me at the pharmacy, stalking the every move of whoever is delivering my groceries or dinner, or feeding my virtual fish. Sometimes my phone turns itself on too, and I need to keep it by me in case people want phone, in their shows (some people still don't use C2C audio). So then I have to pick it up to turn it off again. I'm like Yummy I try to keep it off-screen for the majority of the time though.
I'm gonna assume these models he's complaining about are on it all shift constantly?
Maybe that's a strategy to have you buy a private though? Or to have people tip for requests in their public chat, rather than hang out and talk a bunch without buying anything? Not sure how it works on token sites.
