This review is for the "friends and romance" category.
ImLive has an adult category but I didn't test this section out. For some reason, I just couldn't stomach doing adult stuff with their 70% cut, especially with the .99cent 180 hour starter thing they make you do. Keep in mind, you get 30% of the 99cents. However, I didn't mind chatting and being friendly non-nude in the friends and romance category for the 30% cut - and to have this in the background as I worked on my main sites since
ImLive does not have free chat. This was my vision for the site and I had high hopes for it.
It's important to note that, in the friends and romance category, no adult behavior is allowed. That is, nudity, lingerie, bikini, chat - anything sexual or adult is prohibited. They make it very clear that if found doing adult activity or permitting the guys to do adult activity, they reserve the right to ban your account and keep whatever earnings you haven't been paid yet.
All in all, what a joke. Almost all of the guys that visited me had their dick out and wanted adult action and/or conversation. It was very clear that
ImLive does not enforce the rules in the friends and romance category for the guys, which puts the chathosts in a very awkward position. Do we allow the guys and passively encourage this behavior so we (and
ImLive, mostly) can keep getting paid? Even doing that is risky and gives
ImLive grounds to ban you and keep your earnings. Of course, when you remind the guys of the rules, they just leave or try to convince you to do adult behavior. It's almost as though many guys that come in like the challenge of trying to get you to do it. Many guys also would enter and leave within a few seconds, which was super annoying.
In the month that I've spent there, I had 3 guys that actually were okay with just chatting and did not push the rule limits in any way. The rest (and there were hundreds of guests) were looking for adult activity.
I was very frustrated with this experience as I wanted to obey the rules but just got sick and tired of explaining to 99 out of 100 guys that they were in the friends and romance category and adult stuff wasn't allowed. To top it all off, I didn't even earn that much. Again, you keep 30% of the minute rate set. I made $2-$50 in 4 hour shifts.
