I used to work on
ImLive when it was newer and good. Times have changed & since they changed to 12% I stopped working on it. Even charging the highest amount which is what I did and was fairly steady I ended up not making much for the amount of effort. On other sites I make much more for less effort.
The other issue was so many timewasters and abusive guys in chat. Even when I did private mode there were a lot of creeps that were just vulgar and wanted things obviously against tos.
Today out of curiosity I wanted to see if support has made any positive changes that would make a person want to give it another try. I was really hoping so because I love the mobile version and the fact that you don't have to do free view, you can just go straight into private mode.
I go to the site and got a digusting feeling from what I read.
"Lately, we have been noticing an unusually high number of Hosts that are blocking & disconnecting Members 'at random'.
While we appreciate that you may feel unsafe, disrespected, or even times that Members are in breach of the site's Terms & Conditions, we also feel in turn that some Hosts maybe abusing this feature.
This can't go on, it is affecting our site's traffic, which has a direct impact on your earnings."
I could pick apart what they wrote for hours and I bet many of you reading what they wrote could do the same. I'll share some of my thoughts and would love to hear others imput.
1. They are noticing a high % of blocks. Well maybe a high % of sp's are being treated poorly & arn't putting up with it. "At Random" I call BS on that. What sp would block or disconnect just because? Not likely, because we want to make money. In fact many will put up with a little bs if one is getting paid. So to say there is no reason is bs. What they want is people to put up with bs, work your tail off and earn pennies. Pretty much treating us like slaves and they are digital pimps.
2. What really disturbed me was "This can't go on, it is affecting our site's traffic" My first thought was they care more about their pockets then us. They could work on getting better traffic, increasing the payout % and maybe we would want to push the site. I just feel like they are tone deaf and don't understand if they keep on treating us like this they will lose their site and they know it. Its clear the traffic is suffering from their statement but they could have mention something about us first.
This statement could be read many ways but it was followed up by them suggesting you "reactivate them your blocks". Yes unblock all those time wasters and abusive guys and drain them for the pennies you "might" earn. Then they said "From now on when you block or disconnect a Member, we will require a small explanation".
So to drive a nail in the coffin, these digital pimps want you to explain why you are blocking someone. Meaning you better have an explaination that is acceptable in their eyes, not yours. You bet they will be denying blocks due to them sh*ting their pants over the dying traffic. They could save this site by treating us like humans, but let's be real. They never will.
If anyone knows of a webcam site that has a good mobile app, private mode(no freebies) and is femdom friendly please let me know. Much appreciated!
