Cams.
Not much talk about Cams, Cam sites. It's 8am on the west coast, and 800 viewers on CB are watching an 18 year old in Lativa, waist-up shirtless, bouncing around to a rap song in the background.
800!?!
He just made enough token tips to show his large, uncut cock. The kind you'd expect on a university age European guy.
He's #1 on the first page of at least 4 pages, 100 cam broadcasters per page. Sure, by page 4, some of the broadcasters only have a few viewers, but all totaled, there's over 20,000 on the site right now.
20,000!?!
CB is one of a dozen popular CAM sites. There's Jas, C4. I like CB the best. C4 modified their software 2 weeks ago. Now, when you go on the "males" page, you're likely to see M/F couples and single women. Tiny thumbnails of the broadcaster, and then as you're scrolling along, there's female breasts - or WORSE!
There's usually 2 pages of interesting broadcasters.
I liked Jas at first. Almost no American models. Mostly Bucharest and St Petersburg, with a batch of South American. Handsome guys, broken English being typed. Fully clothed for much of their 6 to 8-hour shift, sometimes tied to US timezones, which are 10-hours away. So these guys are sitting there at 8am their time!. Then shirtless, then underwear. No flashes or teases. No sexy shows, they just sit there waiting to go private for 2 Euro - 3 Euro per minute, and beat off.
2 weeks ago every model I had "favorited" since January was "offline", replaced by 50 more male models. I'm done with that.
Back to CB. Last night, 10pm west coast US time, two nerdy 19 year-olds from Kentucky earned 1000 tips, $100, from 800 viewers to strip down to underwear. No typing on their part, they were every chatty on mic. The 800 viewers were doing a lot of chatting by keyboard, the models were talking, and their hands were on each other, not on a keyboard.
Then the next goal was selling admissions to their upcoming sex show. In underwear and jock strap, these two twink-nerds kiss and wrestle on the bed 6 feet away, while 200 viewers paid 150 tokens each, $15 x 200 viewers(!!!!), to buy a ticket to watch them presumably fuck, since the top guy showed off a box of Magnums. And then his long and thin, very uncut cock.
With the 200 ticket goal in sight, the two start their private show, that only the $15 ticket holders can see and hear. But the rest of us can still see the chat room conversation scroll by. By then, I had already seen the "top's" pencil dick, and the bottom's painfully tiny, couldn't tell if cut or uncut, member, as the top tried to suck what appeared to be mostly some loose skin.
I watched the chat for a few minutes, before going to bed at 11pm. Most of the chat had to do with iPad users complaining that they couldn't see the show (in flash), and others complaining the top couldn't get hard. That's odd, he was hard in his underwear while trying to sell those $15 tickets! But not when push came to shove - it in the bottom's willing hole.
So for webmasters and studios here, many of whom are no longer here, who make videos, DVDs, package them for VOD, promote their own site, or other's sites for 30%-50% of a $20 monthly membership... here's 2 twinks from Kentucky, on a laptop webcam, selling $3000 in a couple of hours, for which they got half. (C4 pays half. I can't get that far into CB to learn if they pay half, more or less.)
When was the last time you made $1500 in a couple of hours? Shooting a movie, with cast and crew, with $1000-$3000 cameras, 1 or more camera, editing on $1000 computer with $300+ software, to 1-hour, mailing it to VOD, waiting 3 weeks, being told this or that needed to be changed, documentation and record keeping... when these 2 nerds had a $500 laptop with webcam, and a floor lamp.
