Anne, I fully agree that sometimes a dose of harsh reality is needed but I think your post might be overkill. I think its important to remember that not everyone may know that there is basic advice available.
Sometimes people just need an encouraging word, or some pointers in the right direction. This girl has made only one post, and assuming you havent had any prior interaction where she's been unable to make basic camming advice work or learn to research it on her own, this post seems unduly harsh.
There's a girl I talked to once who was having a day like this. She was about to quit camming. She doesnt use forums, had no real idea how to. Basic advice given to camgirls didnt really work for her. She and I sat down and I did a tarot reading for her, and we had a heart to heart, and tbh I DIDN'T KNOW if she had what it would take to make it work. There were a lot of things stacked against her as a camgirl, and she'd been struggling for a long long while and didn't seem to be learning or changing very much. But i gave her some resources, a hug and was able to help her re-ignite her faith in herself and her ability to make the recognize and make the changes she needed to.
a few years later she just finished top 20 on mfc. She surpassed what I had even imagined was possible for her.
Not everyone is cut out to be a camgirl, and its important that we are all able to distance ourselves when things are going badly and assess if walking away is the best option. but many camgirls are capable of learning the skills needed to make it work and I think it would be doing Zoe a disservice to tell her to walk away, rather than tell her that there are areas she could improve on and where she can go to learn about them.
