Welcome to the discussion on Physical vs Virtual Studios within the webcam modeling industry. This topic explores the differences between these two types of studios, their geographical prevalence, and the implications for models working within them. Here's a quick summary of the key points:
- The decision to split the Studio section into Physical and Virtual Studios came after insights gained from the AW Summit in Romania, highlighting the substantial differences between the two.
- Physical studios, primarily found in Eastern Europe and notably Romania, offer a comprehensive range of services beyond mere marketing support.
- Virtual studios, largely US-based, tend to focus on marketing and promotional activities for models.
- There is an ongoing effort to expand the list of studios within our resources, with a focus on including significant entities and considering community suggestions.
- The idea of enabling cam sites or representatives to rate studios and possibly vice versa was proposed, sparking a debate on the potential for conflict this could instigate.
Members have expressed support for the distinction between studio types and the continuous update of the studio listing, emphasizing the importance of community feedback in shaping these resources. However, the suggestion of reciprocal ratings between studios and cam sites has been met with mixed reactions, acknowledging the benefits while cautioning against possible disputes.
