MFC's new Non Nude site - Cammunity (now CamYou)

[AmberCutie]

My point is I can't watch the modern games at those lower resolutions. They feel squished and the text is beyond blurry and choppy. It hurts my eyes.

Ultimately my point is that people like you are not my target audience when I stream games on Cammunity, and likely also not the demographic for other girls doing the same there.

The fact we keep comparing Cammu and Twitch is a bit absurd.

Twitch and Youtube have a good 30+ seconds of delay from when someone says something to the people hearing it. It can be annoying. Mixer is about 2 seconds, which is much better, and if streamers use the lightspeed streaming, or whatever it is called, is gets down to 0.2 seconds, or near instantaneous.

My point is I can't watch the modern games at those lower resolutions. They feel squished and the text is beyond blurry and choppy. It hurts my eyes. Old NES/Sega Master System/SNES/Genesis/PS1/etc. games it's a little easier to deal with, because they were made at those resolutions. I even downloaded the old Jedi Knight games recently, and while blocky, they don't look horrible because they were meant to be in that resolution. Any modern game set to run below 720p becomes an eyesore, just like trying to stretch out old 480i games to 1080p is an eyesore.



That's why most gaming channels have completely boycotted Nintendo. Sega, too, since they pull the same shit.



Mine was an early 2011 iMac. The hard drive fan blew, then the power supply blew out when my father and brother came over and decided to try and rearrange my room to make it easier on me while I was in the hospital, and unplugged it without turning it off. Finally saved up almost $3k with my tax return included and bought this one. 6 core i7, 64GB DDR4 RAM, 980 Ti... and then like 2 months later they announce the 1080. But since I'm only on a 1080p 144hz monitor, the 980 Ti will do me at least until the 1180 Ti gets released. Playing 1080p ultra with most games hitting 90+ fps, and Doom and the recent Quake Champions beta getting over 100fps on DirectX (I haven't tried Doom in Vulcan, yet) is so nice. I actually got the iMac repaired to move files, but, ironically, haven't even plugged it in to do that, yet.

And why you gotta call me a ho?

That was supposed to say who haha.

Yeah mine went through 2 hard drives then the cooling fan was going out then the motherboard completely. It started sounding like I poured milk on Rice Krispies when I would turn it on.

I don't care who it is, though, I'm not watching gameplay like this:

640x480:

800x600:

Honestly, I thought it would look worse.... but I am still on ultra settings.

But compared to this, it's unwatchable:

Maybe it's because I'm on my phone, but I can't tell the difference between any of these images. They all look like the same size, quality, and proportion to me.

Exactly I would rather watch a camgirl play her favourite game even in poor quality and have bonus hangout time than watch some utter cockwomble I don't know play whichever game I may aswell just buy the game myself

I thought so too on my phone but they are different on desktop in size lol.

I like the sentiment of this post but more importantly, I love cockwomble.

I can only speak for myself, but I would definitely hang-out in someones room on Cammu if they were playing a game that I had an interest in. I watched Amber play a bit of RUST earlier today, a game that I have never even considered playing, but in just the few minutes of observing her gameplay footage, I actually thought about checking the game out. I think in that regard Cammu has a lot of potential. Teach me a new way to cook Mac-n-Cheese and I will definitely consider tipping.

If you're up for a lot of work, I have a mac&cheese recipe that will blow your mind. Bacon and beer are involved.

Does anyone know if we're allowed to cam outside/in public on cammunity? I really want to do a fire show and I obviously need to be outside in order for this to happen but I'm not sure on what the rules are for that yet. If the rules are pretty much the same as those of youtube/facebook then wouldn't camming in public be okay?

 

[thehills]

http://wiki.cammunity.com/wiki/Rules_for_Cammers

• People other than registered Cammers may not appear directly on cam close-up where they could be identified.

saw a model yesterday camming from the airport lounge waiting to board a plan. Camera was positioned so it wouldn't get other people. AdminLeo even stopped by.

You should be fine, unless the fire gathers a group of people standing close behind you. If you're really risk averse you could ask support.

I think it's a fair comparison since the rules and content are essentially the same between both sites with the exception one is only available to women. You could compare it to any general stream site for the matter I think just twitch is referred to a lot because it's a common site many of us are using and familiar with. I mean if you're in a channel watching someone playing video games WHY shouldn't you be comparing it to Twitch or Twitch/creative or Twitch/IRL?

I couldn't read that giant text wall but I do feel that if you're going to call the site a 'hangout' then you can't keep referring to people as freeloaders at the same time. If the person isn't ASKING for something in on casual site then any tipping is purely supportive and I personally don't feel like 'hanging out' is requirement for tribute.

Lots of viewers on MFC don't feel boobs, nakedness or cumshows are a requirement for tribute either. And the way the site is set up it isn't a requirement, so I don't feel talking about whether there's a requirement to tip is the right response. Whether you would tip a person you're hanging out with for their time and appreciation that they came on stream and gave you some chat and entertainment, that is the question.

I have always found it really strange how a lot of men have this idea that it's ok to pay for sex. Like sexy time isn't supposed to be intimate or personal at all, but instead is just a service. Yet when it comes to hanging out lots of guys completely freak out at the idea of having to pay someone for company! I would personally prefer the person I'm having sexy intimate time with to be doing it for more than cash, than someone I'm just hanging out and chilling with.

I don't think this is innate, it seems to be more cultural, possibly because prostitutes and porn are readily available so lots of men grow up accepting that sex can be bought, but there aren't many situations where company can be bought, so somehow the second seems wrong. Because that part should be free or holds less value. Even though human's can go without sex, but going without company can cause reasonable physical and mental health complications in the long term, and lots of people in our day and age are becoming increasingly lonely and in need of someone to talk to.

Is it just me who finds this so interesting and also a bit strange? I have noticed it since I first came to myfreecams, anything sexual to them equals pay, but even if they value the chat time more, many members feel that this should be given for free.

 

[AmberCutie]

Saw this retweeted and feel like I agree with parts of it. (I hate to post this guy's Twitter as I think he harasses some people in the cam world, ugh.)



I do think once Cammunity has some traffic, girls will be able to make a substantial amount of tokens there. But I also know having it non-nude yet loosely connected to MFC will drive more mainstream traffic to MFC in general. I don't feel it's their sole purpose for Cammunity, but having an Apple Store and Google Play app for Cammu has got to be a big part.

It's a good idea and might help solve the traffic problem.

Except even loosely tied to MFC won't stop SJW from reporting it off the app stores anyways. Not to mention if you completely separated it would get taken down for completely discriminating features by gender (since only casters can be women).

Nah, nobody cares about discriminating men.
As for SJW, only the anti sex feminists might get their knickers in twist. That might or might not be a problem. Chances that nobody will care are higher.

I agree with you completely Amber, I had thought this when I initially saw it. Though like you I don't fully agree with Sonny Lucas that this is the only reason MFC has done it. I think there are lots of good reasons; the being able to advertise and draw people to the main site part, having a piece of the youtube/non sexual streaming pie and seeing if they can make it work (I wonder if they're considering trying a site completely unconnected if this works), I think part of it is to keep models and members happy as this has been requested for years, I think with that, it encourages models to spend longer hours online without wearing them out or giving them too much stress, and possibly meaning they end up making more money when they get on MFC because they've had more consistent hours and raised exposure, I think it also re establishes the "just because" community tipping which seems to have gone more out of fashion. I also wonder if it'll mean models on the main part of the site will work harder, because if they want to chill they now have a place to do so without fucking their camscore up.
It feels like Leo and the MFC team have just given us all a new playground to work with, and are going to see how it plays out. It's pretty impossible on a site like MFC to say it's going to become one way or another, girls and members on MFC surprise and amaze me constantly with their creativity and individuality. I honestly think, after seeing what some girls manage to create and come up with, and what many members seem to appreciate, that this site could take so many directions for different girls. Maybe it will be a total flop, but maybe not. I respect myfreecams for giving us this opportunity for a new space to work with, I feel as a site over the past four years they've really taken off in listening to what the girls want and giving us cool new tools to play with which make life so much easier. When I came back to camming last year I was so excited about some of the cool new features on the broadcaster. It makes me excited about coming back full time, and I know that I will use the cammunity site, for the first time I can actually use some of my creativity without knowing that by doing so I'm losing my earning potential and fucking my camscore up.

I think they will be smart about leaving no direct links on the site, but models on Cammu will verbally speak of it and have their MFC linked on their Twitter at least. That's what I mean about loosely.

 

[AmberCutie]

Though like you I don't fully agree with Sonny Lucas that this is the only reason MFC has done it.

There's also the reason that models have been begging for no camscore for years now. I know damn well MFC doesn't want to remove it from MFC, so there's this.

Edit: sorry I replied to that line before reading the rest of your paragraph, I see you acknowledge this too.

 

[IsabellaSnow]

Lol I thought the same, it kind of seemed like a way to appease girls "well, we're keeping the camscore, but if you want to put in a load of extra hours but not get naked, here you go!"
I will take it! I actually love the concept as it means I can log on and chill for an hour or two, see who's online, chat etc. Then if I feel up for a show or there's a good crowd in I can decide once I'm there. I get anxiety about coming online because I don't always know if I have the mental and physical energy to make the night epic. And you know what it's like, when you don't broadcast one night you feel like maybe they'll be annoyed, or will have forgotten about you, and the anxiety increases and you don't want to go back. I feel like I could use this more relaxed site to gently face my fears and get used to broadcasting with less pressure. It's like they say never miss a gym session, even if you just go in and plan on lightly workout on the mats, so long as you keep going your momentum will keep going. For me this might just be my "I'm feeling lazy so I'm going to workout on the mats", and then end up having a full session.

A lot of places that do not allow advertising with direct links to pornographic material do allow indirect links. For example you are allowed to advertise a webstore that only sells adult toys in Playboy Germany or on their website, even when it has links to sites that sell porn, but you can not advertise those sites directly there.

 

[thehills]

I've seen people ask about charlesbot and cammunity. its now available per this tweet:



completely unrelated to that, archives (chat log) are now working. And when I go in a room, I"m seeing a little bit of the recent chat, (like you would on mfc) which I was missing.

I think this is really supply and demand. Even when I joined MFC 5+ years ago streaming was hardly a novelty. But since then there has been an explosion of platforms for streaming. I think at least half the streamers are women, most young, and normal percentage of attractive. I can hang out with brilliant, beautiful, and moderately famous folks on Periscope, like Danica McKellar, and talk about things like her movies, STEM education, and space exploration and it is free. At the rate people are streaming, I'm looking forward to the day that I can be paid as an engaged viewers (i.e somebody who ask questions, and adds to the streaming experience). Ok, I'm not planning on a making a lot of money doing this anytime soon. So the benefits of spending money to hangout with girls on Cammunity aren't intuitively obvious to me.

But when you "hang out" with those people on periscope, do they continue the contact in a way that a camgirl might? Do you get to pm them or have private time with them? And might you also get to see them naked doing sexy stuff at another point? I guess it depends on what room you go into, and I don't use periscope so I don't know what the community aspect is like, whether it is more like interactive tv or more like a chilled hang out session. Tips often mean more attention, they make you stand out in the crowd so your interactive experience is heightened, you make a connection you might not have had you just been a random chatter. It gives you an edge, and you also get the enjoyment of giving to someone just to see them smile, which is a joy in itself. Some people enjoy always getting something physical for their money, and some people see the value in things with a less obvious monetary value. I think if you're one or the other it's unlikely you'll change on that level. But if you are someone who starts using cammunity a fair amount, then you should probably tip, because you're clearly there for a reason.

Not to mention that if you're viewing someone's Periscope stream or even following someone's blog, reading their comics, or otherwise enjoying the hard work that they do for "free"... a lot of those people have merch or Patreon accounts etc. that you really should consider throwing a few bucks towards, especially if you want to see more work from them. There's no free lunch.

Some people enjoy always getting something physical for their money, and some people see the value in things with a less obvious monetary value.

This. For me, probably the biggest reason I tip is to see them smile. It's my way of letting them know that I admire them and, appreciate their time. Their smile confirms it, especially when I can tell they appreciate it. Rarely will I tip with intent to buy a video, pics, etc. as it's more enjoyable to "tip in the moment" if you will. Meaning, an ongoing joke in the room, matching a tip, or even just a tip out of the blue with a tip note. Doing a big tip and an unexpected time can have very interesting results.

I think most people look at model's rooms as being one sided, and just sit quietly expecting to be entertained. I'm one of those whom believes that positive interaction between members and models makes it more enjoyable for everyone (well, okay at least the model and I ). Which, coincides with what you say about givng that "edge", and stand out more than just the typical person in a room.

And you know what it's like, when you don't broadcast one night you feel like maybe they'll be annoyed, or will have forgotten about you, and the anxiety increases and you don't want to go back.

This is something that kind of intrigues me. I can understand being a bit nervous after not having cammed for a while, and getting over that moment when the cam comes on again. But, for those members whom are there for the model, I don't think they would feel any of what you describe. For myself, I don't.

I've had models apologize for leaving shortly after I log in, not doing a cum/oil/etc show, or doing a private with someone. While I understand their concern, I explain to them that no apology is necessary since they shouldn't feel obligated to do something for me or think I'll be annoyed (it's business for them, so I get it.). It's also part of life that can't always coordinate times. More importantly, seeing the cum/oil/whatever show is far from the main reason why I'm there.

I'm not sure if I'll hop over to cammunity on occasion, or stick with mfc only. It'll depend mostly upon the models I visit.

You sound like a good member to have around

There are some members who can get a bit naggy if you don't come on cam, though most of the time my guilt is more in my head than anything else. It's because I feel like I've let members down if I haven't been online, or maybe if I thought I could come on but something came up. I also know I've let myself down by not coming on, and I know that members will move onto the next room if I'm not around, so there's that fear of being forgotten.
It is a silly fear as I've never felt this problem with any of the members who've really mattered to me. But anxiety often goes against logic.

 

[Ambers Troll]

Cammunity seems very much a sugaring site: For models it'll will take all the same talents and long hours as non-nude modelling to be good at it.
It is going to take some serious monitoring of those rules to be a success, but the top models on it should be heaps of fun to visit. The lounge may be far more interesting too.
