Seems shady af to give models their cut this way. If you add up the numbers, the site will always run off with the (by far) largest amount of the dollar earnings despite bragging about an 80% cut for the top 1%.
Even if you do reasonably well and get a 50% cut, you will still earn a smaller percentage of your takings than you do on e.g. StripChat.
I.e. the numbers on LJ are unreasonably rigged in the site's favour when you consider the totals. Remind me to not spend any money there.
Totally agree with .
I worked for them 3 years ago and in some point ( after 2 months working for them ) they started to pay me with 10 % less for any level because aparently my camera and microphone are not good enough for their site . I quited imediatelly on them , because wtf , my camera give an HD + if i want and my michrophone you can hear even when i breath .
Plus to not count that their support its totally unfrendly and dumb .....they treat the model like its an object , unworthy thing ......
Ahh and to add also their absurd video and picture quality required..... for the percent that pay , and the amount of work, its totally not work the effort
Tokens sites are much better and fair , they give the fixed 50% and thats it .
But there are still models that do not find themselves fine with the free chat show so they choose to be paid less . Like i said 20 dollars extra daily still make a diffrence....
Also livejasmin its the top site for studio models , but working for a studio, models take actually half of what live jasmin pays ........
So yes considering the totals for an client/ member its an ripoff and for the model its totally disrespectfull and exploiting.
Sites like MFC , Stripchat , Chaturbate, Camsoda , Cam4, Bongacams are serious and much better for both sides.
