Hello everyone, I’m BullMountainHawk.
I’ve been an avid supporter on Chaturbate for years, and for a long time, I was what the industry calls a 'whale' without really knowing the term. To give you an idea of the scale I’ve operated at, I have tipped over 9.3 million tokens in a single room (I’ll just call her Sxxxxx, as I'm not here to advertise her business). Across several top-tier rooms like hers and Exxxxxs, my verified footprint rises to well over 10M tokens.
As I moved into a Moderator role for some performers, I started noticing patterns that didn't make sense. I realized that despite my best intentions, my big tips were sometimes accidentally 'burying' the rooms I was trying to support.
I’ve spent the last year essentially decoding how the late 2025 / 2026 directory actually works. I’ve moved from just being a fan to being a researcher of the 'Invisibility Filter.' I’ve mapped exactly how the AI archives rooms during high-revenue sessions—often hiding models from their own followers right when they are performing their best. Or why a room that normally has 500 viewers all of the sudden finds themselves struggling to find 150 viewers. Or why after a great payday from a nice long Private, the next few days are abysmal. The Chaturbate algorithms can be used to your advantage, but I think they are certainly hurting hard-working independent models. To what ends, I don't know.
I’m also a creator on OnlyFans, so I see the business from both sides of the lens. I’m here because I want to share what I’ve learned about Transaction Velocity and Administrative Mod Pings. I’ve found ways to help independent models reclaim their Page 1 real estate, or get there for the first time to stay.
Looking forward to talking shop and helping you all turn the algorithm into a tool rather than a hurdle. I'm happy to share what I've found out.
