Ninja tipping

[Wolf_3_5_9]

tl;dr - do you ever get tips and think, "this would have been better if it was/wasn't hidden from chat"?

I admit as a noob, I had to research who Ninja was... I'm curious about what models think of them - specifically from the point of view of what's most helpful to her room.

My initial thought was that by putting in a ninja tip, it might help get freeloaders to tip (those on the fence about tipping who see a model not getting any tips in the chat and feels she deserves something). Of course this may be thwarted by an enthusiastic "thank you" or something by the model.

On the other hand, putting tips in the chat may spur (hopefully) others to tip as well so they don't look like freeloaders? Or maybe freeloaders will always be freeloaders no matter what. Just curious what the overall psychology is from your experiences. Or does it completely depend on the situation? If so, how?

For the sake of discussion, I would exclude huge 'whale' ninja contributions, since the motivations for those being ninja are a bit easier to understand.

I pretty much always prefer visible tips since they update the topic countdown automatically.

I personally like ninja tips sometimes but really only if it's a smaller amount. Like sometimes regulars will tip the low stuff to help move things along but if it's like a big tip, for example, 400 tokens, I would rather it be public so it goes to count. I do the count manually if it's a bigger tip like that but some models may not. I like ninja messages though
