Many members have noticed a significant decline in their viewership on Chaturbate in recent weeks. Experienced models who have been camming for years reported dramatic drops in viewers, from thousands to just a few hundred per show. This trend is impacting solo performers as well as couples who offer unique and engaging content.
Key points discussed:
- Some models attribute the drop to an increase in competition, particularly from models in certain regions offering services at lower rates.
- Economic factors, such as the cost of living crisis, are believed to be reducing the disposable income of viewers, leading to fewer tips and lower engagement.
- New laws and regulations in the US requiring age verification are potentially deterring some viewers, further impacting traffic.
- There is a noticeable shift in traffic patterns, with some models experiencing better results on other platforms like Stripchat, although issues with freeloaders and low spenders persist across multiple sites.
- Advertising on free tube sites like XHamster and XVideos may attract viewers who are less willing to spend money.
- Seasonal factors and major events, such as sports championships, might also be contributing to the decline in viewership.
Overall, models are expressing frustration and concern over the significant changes, with many considering adjusting their strategies, exploring other platforms, or changing working hours to attract new audiences.
