I'm probably walking into a shitstorm by posting in this thread, but here goes.

When I first joined MFC I was a regular joe blow tipper, dropping small tips and the occasional large tip afterwards. I tipped towards public shows, and participated in groups. It was afterwards that I couldn't help but regret my decision. What did I pay money for? After that realization I started hanging out in the Lounge much more often. Reading these threads on freeloaders has also pushed me further away from actually visiting models' rooms except for a select few where I know I'll be appreciated. I know each model obviously wants tips and to make money, but I contribute with my personality, sense of humour and camaraderie.

Another factor to consider is the comparison between MFC and other sites on the Internet. The Internet is LOADED with porntubes now, some of which include MFC content. One of the most popular and content-filled porn sites, Brazzers, charges $27.95 per month or you can buy a one year membership for $119.88 which works out to $9.99 a month. Before MFC's recently-introduced small token packages, the smallest token package was 200 tokens for $20. Comparing MFC to those previous two options, it's easy to see that MFC offers the least bang for the buck. Maybe if MFC gave more tokens, say 300-400 for $20 then maybe premiums would tip more? :think:


One of my favourite models (name withheld, but she doesn't post here) rarely gets fully naked in public, has never done a public cum show to my knowledge, doesn't care where she ranks in MissMyFreeCams, yet rakes in a lot of tokens in private and consistently finishes top 100. The best advice that I can give to models is to restrict your best work for group or private.

IMO, there is a world of difference between watching a porn clip and chatting live with a beautiful woman online.

Gosh I hope no one regrets tipping me. Tips are just a gift. There are a few guys who have hardly tipped me anything, but I LOVE when they are in my room. It does get quite on MFC and most models appreciate some chatting!
As for getting naked in free chat, so many models that are consistently in the top 20, get nude and/or do public cum shows. But different things work for different girls. It's hot as hell in my room even in the winter. I try to get my clothes off as soon as possible!!!

This too! I have people ask me all of the time, "why would guys spend $6 a min. with you when they can watch porn for free." There aren't many porno's you can watch where the girl does exactly what you want and moans YOUR name while doing it. :thumbleft:

And obviously they feel there is some value in that or they wouldn't be on a cam site in the first place, they'd be on a free tube site! I always find that kinda funny...like, I'm not stopping you from going to redtube, dude, if that's what does it for ya then feel free to go there. :roll:

I have always just tipped models for that they do, not what they say they will do. A small tip to finish a countdown is possible if its one of my regulars , and I will always spend tokens on a group with a new girl to see what she is like.

I expect value for money, but it is a job for the girls, and so I will reward my favourites occasionally when I have the money to burn.

Just to be clear though, its not about getting off, its about like interaction with pretty girls :) Something you can never have too much of.

Do models have a forum/venue to suggest changes to the MFC admins, or do their emails get ignored as well?


We would have to contact MFC via e-mail (models don't use the same e-mail address that members use). MFC is usually very good about responding to my e-mails quickly.

What DID you pay money for? Think back to the feeling that urged you to drop a few tokens on this lady or that lady. Obviously there was something that compelled you. Is it because these ladies are live, not a video, and deserve a bit of payment for the attention they dish out to you? Yeah, probably. Your instinct to tip, when you did, was right on. This instinct you now have just to "contribute with your personality" is pretty skewed. Yeah, we say over and over again that we appreciate conversation and fun personalities in our chat, but if everyone only contributed with that, we'd be finding another job, or another site to work on, at least. Personality, humor and camaraderie are great, but we can't print those out on paper and hand them in to the electric company, the landlord, or the grocery store, can we? Thank goodness not every person with a sense of humor and a friendly attitude depend solely on that to make MFC go 'round, or we'd really be in a "shitstorm."

For a live cam site, MFC provides a lot more than many others do for your buck. The community, the features, the freedom. If you want to pay less for a monthly membership site where all you get is pre-recorded content, then by all means, stop visiting MFC and go do that. But there is a distinct difference between a tube site and a live cam site. People who visit cam sites do so because they want real-time interaction, and luckily most realize that it's a luxury that needs to be paid for. (With $ as well as friendly attitude.)

What works or feels comfortable for one girl doesn't work for everyone. Good for her that she can make a great living running her room the way she does. But from all you've said above, I wonder how long it will be before she realizes how much attention she spends on you with no financial reciprocation could be better spent on another person who DOES tip (at least a bit) and still has a great personality, sense of humor, and camaraderie?
 
And I apologize for that last post sounding so harsh, but seriously.

Can't seem to open his mouth without insulting a camgirl with a underhanded compliment or sounding like he's too good for us. SHEESH!

EDIT TO ADD: I just want to mention, I do appreciate people who hang out, contribute to chat, even if they don't tip... but if you're going to outright flaunt the fact that you think you're so super spectacular awesome that your personality pays for what other people use $ for, then you're not cool.

Reads as:
After I realized I was throwing my money away on Cable, I called and discontinued my service and decided to only watch the free television I can pick up with my bunny ears... however, the cable company never shut my service off so I just watch that shit for free now! I'm enjoying all the programming I previously received but now... IT'S FREE! :dance:

You mean like the camaraderie you offered me when you p.m.'d me to ask if another model had written anything about you in the Model's Only thread after you had a run in with her on cam?
Like camaraderie you offer when you suggest that a model try doing something that another model is doing just because it works really well for her? And maybe because you'd like to see it yourself...
Or like the camaraderie, personality and super amazing sense of humor you bring to chat by going off topic and trying to talk about something completely unrelated to the matter at hand... like when a lady is trying to be sexy and covering herself in oil or dripping wax on herself... derailing chat and and actually contributing to the slowing of tips... :think:

I'm sure a big spender like you has enough sway with MFC admin to change the site to your liking. Until then, thanks for the links... I'll go log onto Brazzers right now and not interact live with beautiful, real women that I can find something in common with...

Really? Your advice is soooo valuable to us now? This must be another shining example of your sterling camaraderie that
we are blessed with...
I don't care who the fuck somebody is... I don't care how much they tip... I (and every other model on this site) determine where to show their best work.
I have sincerely felt for quite some time that you have little to nothing to offer the girls you visit or this forum... that's just my :twocents-02cents:
Until now, I've kept my yap shut because it's not my place to suggest how you (or anyone, for that matter) interact with the models or give you
my best advice
as to how you can best utilize the site unless you are in my room.

I sincerely appreciate my members that tip what they are able to... when they can... or want to. I sincerely appreciate my members that contribute to the chat, tipping or not...
But the members in my room that don't tip... have earned their place in my room.
Seriously... I'm not a bitch... I just really dislike you. It's personal.

[/rant]
 
Amber and Jolene are completely right. Viru comes off as one of those snobby pricks I ban in a heartbeat. Derailing conversation topics, pulling focus from a model doing her job, telling a model HOW to do her job, and freeloading the entire time? Uh uh, babe. If you were in my room I don't think you could tip me enough to put up with you. I can't believe you think that just because one work model works for one girl that we should ALL do it like that. Many of us do just fine doing public shows. Screw privates and groups. I'd rather cover myself in oil for half an hour, do a shower and a short public cum show (no penetration, that IS saved for private) than shove toys in my hooha for most of my pay thank you very much. I'm not sure what makes you think that one way is classier than the other. Neither is. It's personal preference. If you think otherwise that's because you're severely pretentious.

Also, there are plenty of guys in my room who never tip. They are more than welcome in my room. But what they don't do is expect anything. They don't try to tell me what to do or how to do it. They add to conversation and stay respectful without being snobby. They don't beg and they don't cause trouble. And believe me I have had no trouble banning assholes with a lot of tokens. It makes me sad, sure, but I ain't putting up with anyone for the sake of their money.

The interaction on MFC is why I stay on it. The generosity of some special models to me is way beyond what my tips ever deserve also. You do not have that human element on tube sites. One of my models even painted me a small picture for Christmas. You can not put a price tag on things like that.

You're upset about comments made about freeloaders, you're admitting to just hangin' out in The Lounge because models are "a waste of your money," AND you're complaining about how $20 ONLY gets you 200 tokens? :lol: And you DO know that there are token packages as low as one or two bucks, right? I don't know of ANY other cam site that will offer you that. And comparing a cam site (where you can chat with models LIVE) to porn sites like Brazzers, etc. is just silly, by the way.

And no, I don't expect any premium to ALWAYS have tokens, however I'm getting tired of guys like you bragging about NOT tipping ("Well I don't tip models, but I contribute with my awesome personality and sense of humor"). :roll: Sorry, dude, but ass-kissing compliments and making me giggle ain't gonna pay my bills.

And what is your definition of "being appreciated?" Expecting the model (who you are NOT tipping) to constantly stop what she's doing to answer your excessive pointless pm's? I've banned a guy before who was a good tipper, but thought that being on my friends list gave him the right to constantly pm me whenever the fuck he wanted.
 
I could agree with what Amber, JJ and Asha posted more.
@Amber, I honestly think you were being way too soft on him. Your post does not sound like a bitch at all, in fact, I think you should have been a little bit more honest.
@JJ it's been personal for me too. There's no reason someone should get away with insulting me or anyone for the hell of it and think "it's alright because I was really trying to compliment her to get something for free".

Here, let me go see if I can pay my rent this month with a smile and a hug. I'm sure my leasing office wouldn't mind letting me live her for free for the next 6 months. I'm cute and give them compliments all the time so they have to. :mrgreen:
 
If any of you offered to pay your rent with a smile and a hug, I'd accept, which is why i'd make a shit rent collector

On a more serious note, In my opinion i would be intrigued to see if this current freeloading storm is a seasonal thing, January is a bad month for everybody and both Premiums and models are feeling the pinch after the festive period, especially in this current economic climate

HOWEVER, Virus's post seems to overlook the fact that if you are a relatively decent member of MFC, you should have built up a bit of trust with whatever models you frequent and they will see you as part of their rooms, In this I mean, from my personal viewpoint I go in and contribute to the chat, have a bit of banter and its all good, it helps the flow of the room and (at least I feel) puts the model at ease or breaks the monotony of "Tits BB" I don't PM except to say hello or answer any PMs as i consider that rude and taking away from tippers time
 
I feeling like calling MFC tips a waste of money because of the availability of free pron is similar to saying "Why pay to go to a live concert when you can listen to the cd at home?". Two different experiences with different worths. I doubt anyone would say they were "generous" enough to buy a concert ticket or expect to gain entry to a paid show by paying in personality (unless by personality you mean boobie flashes and handy js?). :shifty:

MFC doesn't need to change the way it advertises or the way it enforces the rules. The site is for adults and runs on the honor system. Models who do public cum shows for peanuts should be more honorable, and so should the "freeloaders"/ dudes that try to pay with advice, friendship or charisma. Girls can get all of those things for free btw. So, trying to make them valuable currency is silly. :blob8:
 
:wave: Sup my fellow perv and pervettes!

Been a while since my last post and I thought I would share my opinion on this thread

While times are tough I can understand why some people cannot afford it at right this moment but that's the last of my sympathy there. :violin:

Although I for one have had a sneaky peak at the odd free show now and again (who hasn't now guys honestly? :liar: ) I do feel for the guys who contribute for the show on the behalf of others. Whenever I help tip shows I am amazed how quickly the amount of people visit the room goes up as soon as a bit of skin is revealed and the vast majority of them don't say hello or contribute in any way. I find it incredibly frustrating and on the odd occassion I have managed to agree with the other tippers that contirbuted to take the model into group show instead.

I was not aware that MFC are promoting the whole free shows thing - I thought the rules were to avoid shows in public chat? :woops: Promoting free shows is going to increase traffic with only a little extra money being made.

To be honest, I think that they should use the Rewards points system more, perhaps in restricting people with sub 1000 reward points to a short amount of time (say 1 minute) they can see a show without tipping a certain amount (the show status and tip limit can be set by the model). Then depending on the number of reward points you have you have you can stay in the show for longer before being cut off from the show (say 1 minute per 1000 reward points).

Now I'm not sure how you models feel about this but I think this will promote members who want to see more of the show tip a fair amount to continue seeing this.

:-D I'm gonna try that at Safeway this weekend. I'll stand around and smile a lot and if an employee comes by, I'll slap him/her on the back and give them GREAT advice about anything that pops into my mind while giving them hugs and telling them how much I appreciate them (camaraderie!).

Think they'll give me free rutabagas and maybe some granny smiths?

I'll let you know how that works out. lol Hope it's not in jail. :angry4:

The first line in particular is spot on

There will always be freeloaders, they will never last...

I've got to admit, when I first came to MFC and I hadn't yet invested in tokens, I'd look for a free show, enjoy it, then leave. I kinda feel ashamed about that now. Amber was actually the reason I invested in a premium account, and since chatting with her and models like her, who are just enjoyable people to talk to, I really don't even want to jump in on some random free show. It just doesn't appeal.

I think that's really the distinction between what MFC should be, and sites like brazzers or pornhub. For me it's not even having a girl 'scream out your name', as said earlier (Not that that's happened...) it's when you say something or make a tip and you see the girl on the other end smile or laugh. That sort of interaction is, on an emotional level, way beyond (laughably so) simple paysites. In the end that emotional connection makes the 'actual' show far far more enjoyable.

I don't know if I'll come off as lonely for saying this, I'm not sure if I care, but I can honestly say that my favourite moment on MFC was Amber smiling right into the cam after I sent her a tip, and knowing she was looking at me.



Wow, that was sappy.

I was not aware that MFC are promoting the whole free shows thing - I thought the rules were to avoid shows in public chat? :woops: Promoting free shows is going to increase traffic with only a little extra money being made.

MFC doesn't necessarily promote anything. It used to be that no one did public shows. Then public shows slowly picked up steam. Now it's a big gig for many girls, including myself. I make most of my income off of public shows, rarely if ever doing groups and going months without doing a private sometimes. It works just as well as the girls who exclusively take privates and groups :)

Im sure its just the girl in me but this made me AWWWW all over the place. So cute. I love Ambers sweet little face in your profile pic too. Guys like you make up for the douchers that can't figure out "what they tipped for". Ok, Im gonna go find an AT&T commercial to cry over now.

Yeah, for me, most of my regulars have become dear acquaintances that I tip when i can, rather than cam whores that i tip because I want something.

Viru I wish we could by things with personality like they way you pay the models you visit.That would be grand,but unfortunately we have to trade something for the things we want and need and it is called money. Also I cannot believe how much you dislike freeloaders,yet you sit there in the lounge because you do not think we are worth your time? Like brown fox said MFC has package deals now to make it more affordable for it's members,but if we are such a waste of time for you why do you not just leave MFC and go watch your free recorded shows on redtube or madthumbs? Seriously dude if I had the money I would tip these girls what they deserve for their time interacting with me.So stop bragging about how you do not tip models that is like leaving your tokens unhidden and telling us we are not work a cent of that I mean what gives dude? Just go on redtube and madthumbs and be happy then. Good day!

Anyways,before I left the camming world a little more prematurely than wanting too I found that if I worked mornings like 7am-11am I would be raking in some decent tokens. At night I would rant and rave in my notebook (yes I still have a diary like notebook). My nights on MFC were terrible absolutely terrible.(I would only rave off cam by the way lol). I think the reason for the slow and almost tokenless mornings/nights are happening is because of the holidays give the members a little bit to get themselves back into gear and all will be well =D.*hugs and kisses*

Yes, totally!! Thank goodness there are Parsnippys out there to balance the equation.
 
I took some time to think about everything that happened in this thread, especially the comment that Ambah put in red. Most of the time I tipped towards countdowns that didn't happen so I felt ripped off. However, every other time whether it was for a group, to get a model to do something, or a simple "hey, I'm having fun. Thanks." now that I thought about it I did get my money's worth. Example: JoJo once tried to create a Canadian flag on her tummy with red and white hot wax. :lol: Too bad I didn't screencap it.

I'm sorry to all of the girls I offended. I understand that you're all trying to make a buck and pay your bills like every other working person and I did come across as being egotistical and superior to you. My apologies.
 
Thanks. One of my biggest flaws is that on occasion my ego can grow out of control and I need a good talking to to once again make me realize that I'm no better than anyone else. This isn't the first time it's happened but it'll hopefully be the last.

The main disadvantage of being human is that we're only human. ;)

I know each model obviously wants tips and to make money, but I contribute with my personality, sense of humour and camaraderie.


THIS is the reason I am not on MyFreeCams anymore. I devote all of my time now to my REAL camsites and various other streams of income in the camming world. I am now basking on higher profits and overall better quality of life.

MyFreeCams caters to freeloaders SO bad it is ridiculous. The lounge? Are you kidding me? "Hey, let's find a free show!" Girls can barely get traffic in their room anymore unless they are naked. Then, lots and lots of members sit there and stare like retarded idiots while 3 guys tip.
No thanks, I stay fully clothed in free chat. And the sites I am on allow me to do it while making my guys very happy and making money. :D

But everyone has their preferences. Different strokes for different folks.

It sounds like you havent seen the ever present ads for MFC that bring in the freeloading basement dwellers... "Never pay for live sex shows again. If you do you're stupid.... blabla."
~paraphrasing and I don't have a link atm or I'd put it here for you...

If that's not promoting, I guess I don't know what promoting is.

I was speaking in response to Wiffy saying he thought the rules were to avoid shows in public chat. I was stating that MFC does not necessarily promote that we do or don't do public shows.
