Encountered the first thing that makes me very uncomfortable about camming...

[AlyssaMichelle]

Idk guys. I searched my username in Google and up came SOOOOO many pics of me naked, on like a million different websites... I'm guessing there's nothing I can do to prevent this, correct? Considering once it's up on the internet it's there forever... Is this just one of the risks that comes with camming? I love the money that comes with camming, but wow, this caught me off guard and makes me kind of regret it

Who are you afraid is going to find out?

I'm not particularly afraid of anyone founding out per say, just makes me pretty uncomfortable knowing there's hundreds of nudes of me floating around with just a search of my username lol

Become a non nude model - honestly this is all you can do. Don't use the same pics on your non sex work to sex work - do not use your real name or any part of your real name. This should make it harder for people to find you. Do not link accounts and make a separate email address for sex work.

I agree with @Guy - but more on it, if anyone did find you or find out they would HAVE to be watching or looking for porn so why do you care? if your worried about people finding out then I would leave the industry now. Everyone will find out - when is the question. I decided to out myself before someone else did and I honestly think thats the best way to do it. I waited until I felt successful enough to tell my family/friends. If there not paying your bills then who cares? if it makes you happy then it should not matter. My sister disowned me, I cut off 2 toxic cousins and a toxic aunt due to them not being okay with my job. But guess what? there not paying my mortgage, my bills, and have 0 say in this. I'm a grown ass adult and so aren't you!


If you don't want to see them , don't search for them? if it's more of you not wanting to see them then thats really your only option.

Thanks. I don't use my real name and I don't cross pics between this industry and my real life. I guess that's all of the steps that i can really take lol. I wouldn't be upset if anyone found out, I just had no idea hundreds of pics of me go up on google haha, I thought there would be some sort of copyright from the camming sites to protect that or something, buuuut I guess not

Chaturbate has a DMCA service.

Chaturbate has a DMCA service.

Thanks. I just added a DMCA badge to my profile. Hopefully that does something

 

[ramblin]

Thanks. I just added a DMCA badge to my profile. Hopefully that does something

It doesn't. DMCA is a law that you or your agent can use to get content taken down. Chaturbate and most sites have a service to do this for you, as do various private companies. DMCA.com is a private company with such a service that named themselves after the law. Putting logos on your profile or "over" your feed is just giving them free advertising. The logo won't even appear in the captured video. If you want, feel free to use ManyCam or XSplit or OBS to watermark your feed, but consider watermarking it with your model name, so interested people will find you and maybe pay you, vs. with the DMCA.com logo. https://www.camgirlwiki.com/wiki/Watermarking_your_content

For Chaturbate's free takedown service, see: https://support.chaturbate.com/cust...7131-my-content-is-being-used-on-another-site

As for the "maybe if they knew there was a law they'd stop"...

Thank you so much! I'll probably be using manycam from here on out

I was definitely surprised when I found pics of me and then found a website that had every single one of my shows uploaded. I wish the cam sites had some way to prevent the recording bots, but unfortunately they don't. It's a bad feeling to have your content stolen and spread around, even if you aren't worried about people finding out.

I'm not sure if this would help or just slow down the rate at which your pictures and shows are spread around, but you could try just getting naked in private. Of course, there will always be assholes out there that will upload recordings of private shows.

 

[Ivy Adams]

One of the risks of being on the internet is that there will always be photos/videos of you available on the internet. You can spend time trying to minimize the risk and you can put your energy into fighting it, but the truth of the matter is that it will still happen. You can file all the DMCA's and have all the geoblocking you want, and there will still be things that leak out.

I agree with the earlier advice on here, if it's something that truly bothers you- leave the industry now. If you do decide to stay, watermark everything so if things are leaked they can still know where to find you.

 

[ZoeBanx]

i agree with whoever said to only get naked in private if this is your issue. i've been camming for months and just finally decided to search but all i found was me dancing around, topless at most. probably because i don't do any kind of sexual acts in group or public. seems like the bots don't bother to pay for shows.. which isn't surprising when you think about it. there are assholes out there, i'm sure, who record private shows too. but i think it's much more rare for an actual human to spend their own money on a private show just to post it up for free afterwards.

Private shows still get recorded. I have several shows that were suppose to be private that they recorded and are on random sites

Ladies (and gentlemen), chaturbate has the means to put an end to the public cam recordings (at least to most). I've made the feature request a while back. Please make the same, maybe if more utter the wish, they do something. All they would have to do is give broadcasters the opportunity to block anonymous viewers from the video stream. The technology is there already, apps like crazyticket use it. The thing is, that using apps like "block anonymous viewers" now take you away from the normal chaturbate page and place you on the special show site, your thumbnail does not get updated anymore, so your room count in viewers will go down to almost zero. The recording bots are anonymous viewers, otherwise broadcasters could easily ban them so this would be the way to do something against it.

Uh, that won't work, there is no reason for a recording bot to be an anonymous viewer. The camsite can not see whether I am recording a stream or not. It does not matter if I am there as a guest, free member or paying member.

Just playing devils advocate here but every member starts off as a guest or anon viewer before they sign up. If the site or even most models had all guests and anons blocked when they first landed on the site and saw nothing there would be a lot less sign ups and overall traffic to the site would drop and so would the overall revenue available for the models. This would also just shift the barrier one level higher and the bots would just use dummy basic or grey accounts to record from.Then if you blocked all Basics and Greys there would be even less people signing up for the site further hurting the overall revenue.

Although I do agree of course recording bots suck and it would be great if there was a way to stop them.

Registered members can be banned from a room, unregistered cannot be banned. Yes, it will not prevent that a user records, but bots will always be anonymous viewers. And indeed maybe the cam site cannot see it but I as a broadcaster might notice a pattern.

I would at least like if cb gave us the option to stream only for registered members. I'd like to be in control, that's it. Right now, there is just nothing I can do. I don't see how giving us an option is somewhat bad or useless.

 

[Fatquack]

In my experience a lot of bots actually use member accounts. At least on MFC.

 

[dark_mermaid]

The auto recordings bots that put everything on upstore are anonymous viewers. If chaturbate made the already available and working "limitcam" feature optional to use for chaturbate broadcasters they would be shut out and the guy who runs these sites would at least have to go through the additional work of creating accounts and these could potentially be banned by broadcasters. It would not stop recording but it would make it harder and the broadcasters who don't want to lose the anonymous audience could still do so. They might even profit from the girls who value not being recorded over exposure to viewers.

I've used the "block anonymous viewers" app for a while, these days were not recorded by the bots but I was removed from the normal chaturbate page placement. This is what I would like to have optional, block anonymous viewers and not be put on the special shows page, where ticket shows are to be found that use the limitcam feature too (limited to tippers in this case).

 

[rstanton]

How did you determine this?

 

[dark_mermaid]

When I block anonymous viewers through an app I don't get recorded. Also it just makes sense, registered users can be banned, anonymous viewers cannot be banned. The guy who runs the bots will certainly not risk that his bot(s) get(s) banned and cannot record.

Again, chaturbate has the means to reduce this greatly. Please everyone make the feature request to make the use of the "limitcam" feature on chaturbate optional for broadcasters without being taken from the chaturbate page and put on special show page and with a frozen thumbnail. It really is that simple.

Everything you do online is recorded, screenshot, saved somewhere forever. It isn't really fair that camming means you could get fired from your job for "moral" reasons or some dumb shit like that, or your family could stumble upon something in the future and that could lead to an awkward conversation. If you want to not have any more nude photos saved, recorded, you could always go on a phone sex route, or become a non-nude model.
