Members have raised concerns and shared experiences about discovering their webcam streams appearing on multiple affiliate or 'sister' websites without their explicit consent. Key points discussed include:
- Many cam sites, such as Streamate and Chaturbate, have affiliate websites where content is simultaneously broadcasted. This can lead to performers appearing on a myriad of platforms they might not be aware of.
- Performers can use Google search with their performer name to uncover the extent of their presence across different sites.
- Concerns have been expressed over privacy settings, particularly geographic restrictions, and whether they apply across all affiliate platforms.
- It has been clarified that if a region is blocked on the primary site, this setting should extend to the affiliate sites as well.
- There's ongoing speculation and concerns regarding the collaboration between different cam sites and how it affects performers' visibility and choice.
- The discovery of appearing on multiple sites has led to discussions about the implications for viewer numbers, privacy, and overall control over one's online presence.
The thread also touches on the importance of understanding the network of affiliate sites and encourages performers to research their online presence to gain better control over where and how their content is displayed.
