Several members have expressed concerns about the current state of Chaturbate, highlighting various issues they face:
- Decreased Traffic and Earnings: Models are noticing a significant drop in traffic and earnings, with some reporting that even their loyal followers are no longer tipping unless nudity is involved. This has led to frustration, especially when models see others earning more with less effort.
- Technical Issues: Connectivity problems and server issues have been mentioned, affecting the ability to stream smoothly and causing delays in starting shows.
- Freeloaders: There is a rising concern about users who watch shows without tipping, which has increased the stress and demotivation among models.
- Algorithm Changes: Some members suspect that changes in site algorithms might be impacting visibility and earnings, as they feel certain models receive more exposure despite having fewer followers.
- Account Blocking: There are serious complaints about accounts being blocked unjustifiably, with accusations of using fake documents and confiscation of earnings without proper investigation or the chance to appeal. This has led to some seeking legal advice to resolve their issues.
Amidst these challenges, some models have turned to multistreaming on other platforms to supplement their income. Additionally, new tools such as "My Secret Show" bot are being explored to create exclusive content and combat freeloading.
The thread also includes a call for Chaturbate to improve its support and address these ongoing issues, as members feel their feedback is being ignored.
