Within this discussion, members share their experiences and viewpoints on LJ's new promotional strategy for models, which involves posting clips of them on various adult websites without any geographical restrictions. The key points raised include:
- Concerns about the lack of regional locking for these promotions, raising privacy and safety issues for models who prefer to control where their content is seen.
- Experiences indicating that LJ has a history of ignoring models' requests to take down unauthorized content from adult sites, suggesting a lack of control over where and how their content is distributed.
- Insights into the contractual agreement with LJ, which apparently allows the platform to use models' images for promotion and affiliate marketing as they see fit, leading to widespread exposure on adult sites without the option for geoblocking.
- Personal accounts highlighting the risks associated with such exposure, including potential stalking or unwanted recognition, especially for models from smaller countries or those seeking to maintain a degree of anonymity.
- The general consensus among contributors that despite the potential for increased traffic from these promotions, the lack of control and safety concerns outweigh any possible benefits.
The discussion reflects a broader concern about the balance between exposure and privacy for webcam models, emphasizing the importance of understanding and negotiating the terms of promotional activities with platforms like LJ.
