They were always the d!cks of the industry. Sorry to say so, but there are too few good things to say. The favoritism for studios over independent models was always their thing. When I worked from studio I was doing great there and I loved it, but when I worked from home it was a neverending circle of fines, accounts closure, bad video ratings (I stayed most than one year with the bad video rating so I started every single period with 25%). I stayed on it because the truth is, their software interface is almost the easiest on the market and the most beautiful in my opinion. But that's not a reason for "stealing" 70% or 75% (in my case) from their models. This is simply unfair. They were constantly trying to steal everything by making the paying period shirter, from 15 days to 14 days, the level dependent range became a pain in the ass. Now you have to work your ass off for $250 if you want to level up and to gain 35% of your earnings. In the pandemic they had an obsession to close the models accounts, to suspend them, to give them fines for stupid reason. They recently changed the company and I thought the new one would actually make really good changes in benefit of us, but no. The only good thing now is that we can use lush in free chat for tips for real (not faking) but that's just another attempt LJ stole from other free camsites like
Chaturbate,
MyFreeCams and
Stripchat. Also they are now having their own fanclub with stories, messenger and other features they stole from
OnlyFans because they want to be on top but the truth is.. They downgraded over the years so badly so only studio models can keep up with them still. They were always encouraging slavery work so if you wanted traffic you had to stay 8 hours online minimum, 5 days per week. They count the most on hours online which is stupid because this is not a front desk job, this is mentally consuming job and you should stay online as much as you feel to stay online, not pushing yourself and pushing your limits because it won't be fun anymore, it would be only torture. The chargebacks are not permanently covered so even if you've been paid but one customer will start a fight with you and decide to refund every income you've made with him even for a year he will get his money back and you will have your account closed. By the way, on this site, members are always right, members are always supported, models are penalized for everything. The payment takes one month since the last paying period has ended. Another pain in the ass. It was not enough they keep 70-75% of your income, you work at least 8 hours per day, they pay you after one month unless you apply for fast payout where you will pay a comission for it. Support team is another pain in the ass. They are just robots and they don't help you with anything at all unless you work at a studio. Their requirements with photos/videos/background/lighting and tech equipment is absurd as well. Okay, you wanna be professional, I get it, but let the model be who she is, do not make her be another copy on your same list of models. You can't be yourself in this site because they won't like your photos, they won't like your background, they won't like your lighting and they will penalize you, even if you offer professional tools.. But that's because you are independent and you don't work with a studio. I used to love this site when I worked at the studio, but now I clearly do not recommend it at all.
