I never used skype, because I never had one decent payer ask me about it (back in the days before I joined SM). It was all total wankshafts, that had no money, and wanted to have really long shows. And I mean literally 100s of them. I closed my skype account, and dumped sky private as an income source. That was my experience.
Back when google hangout existed, I did have some fun experiences there, but they were always with guys who had little money. That was back when camming was more of a hobby, and not my full time career. It's not something, I would even consider doing, now that I have been doing this about 6 years. If some models can make it work, then more power to 'em. But that was STRONGLY, NOT the experience I had. When I was new, I was really insecure, and thought I needed to take any little scrap of money, and be grateful for it. So I would do crazy long shows, for amounts I consider laughable now. Without fail 75% of those buyers always turned into constant messengers, who never tipped, and wanted hours of messaging daily. Of the dirty talk kind. It was an AWFUL period of my cam career, but it did teach me a lot
Those guys also tended to be way more demanding and entitled, then any of the sweet regulars that I have now. So saying No, and building strong boundaries, was a total WIN for me!
Plus I very rarely have dudes go off at me in an abusive way anymore, back then when I dealt with those types, it was a weekly issue. No bueno.
