Why do you sell photos/videos?

[AdmnMatt]

I've never understood this myself, yet I see or hear about it everytime I'm around anything MFC related.

"I'm selling videos and photos for tokens" etc etc etc

Models do understand that anything uploaded/sent over the internet is there forever, yes? With the potential of being posted anywhere at anytime? I've seen countless model videos either screencaptured or produced on various porn sites, I've even had to request some to be taken down for model friends.

They do understand that people share things via the internet? Thus your sex video that you sent to a man in russia has no chance of coming back to haunt you again? Wrong. It's probably on your neighbors computer to his shock horror when he realizes who it is.

I understand that it's dangerous enough just broadcasting online, as members do have the power to record video feeds and create files out of them, but SENDING them on purpose? really? I can't see any logic in that when you can make plenty of money just doing your shows and connecting with members.

I know I'm potentially opening up a can of worms here, I'd just appreciate a models view on this.. To me it doesn't make sense in any sense.

Well, at least it isn't a new can of worms. This subject has been discussed on this forum endlessly, and will probably continue to be.

 

[AdmnMatt]

I had an odd feeling that this may have been the case, glad I'm not the only one who thinks about this!!

 

[JickyJuly]

Not every girl cares so much about having her image out there forever. I've never bothered to look for capped stuff or my videos floating around. I don't have political aspirations. I don't plan to teach Sunday school, and I am an internet stripper whether it's a hidden identity or not. Honey badger don't care! What I DO care about is making as much money while I'm at this as possible. For me, as for most of us, that means selling content.

Even girls who never get naked get capped. Girls that only do shows in pvt get capped. If you're doing Skype shows, you might as well assume that the person on the other end is recording or taking stills at least. Skipping out on money you will definitely make by having videos in order to avoid something that could likely happen either way seems silly to me.

That's the only explanation I came close to making logic of, thanks for your input! As a model, it's the line you must cross and just accept when you start a job like videochat. It's good to see the ones who are fully accepting of it, as I've met girls who are fully privacy conscience and will do anything to prevent that kind of thing from happening.

THAT, I don't understand.

Edit: How come I can edit come posts and not others? :?

 

[LailaBaise]

What Jicky said. There were many, many videos of me out there well before I started selling content and this was definitely a deciding factor in starting to offer videos. I'm not sure why the question on your lips is about videos, and not "why do you cam?", because there will be a damn sight more public/group and private videos recorded and distributed on line than any video I produced myself for sale.

 

[AdmnMatt]

I'm not sure why the question on your lips is about videos, and not "why do you cam?"

It's a good point, I guess its because the distribution of photos and videos is a choice, where as the whole screen capping/sharing is done unwillingly. I don't think there's anything wrong with screencapturing for personal use, but those assholes who post them online, that draws the line.

There are still way too many naive girls who think they can do this job casually, quit, and think their image/name/reputation is gone and forgotten about. A model called 'ChloeLamb' or something similar wanted to be a teacher, or so she says, there were about 2000 porn videos on each porn site under her name, and with the aid of the internet, it doesn't take a genius to poke around for the persons identity.

You have a 10 minute window to edit I think. As far as the teaching thing goes, anyone who wants to teach at a public school has to be careful in pretty much every facet of life. A friend of mine was in her last year of college to teach primary school when she was found in possession of pot during a traffic stop twice in the same month. Good-bye teaching dream. I find it hard to believe that anyone still wants the job when it entails having your past and present self scrutinized in order to live just above the poverty line.

Thank you!! Makes sense now, its a bit longer than 10 minutes but still, interesting feature.

Apparently some teachers, teach because they love improving kids lives, but in some cases, that's bullshit. I've witnesses some of the laziest no good teachers in history. I'm pro-support for performance pay, but it will never happen, too hard to examine, too many factors.

Going a little off topic here, but it kind of relates.

 

[vlad.mazare]

The webcam models of today are going to largely going to be forgotten about in 5 or so years from now. MFC has roughly 3 years worth of content produced every single day,and that's in addition to the probably 10-15 years combined from all the other webcam sites.

Um...yeah? I can't think of any model I know who isn't aware of this. This thread is just kind of funny.

Don't worry, we're not all oblivious morons. :lol:

As of yet no one I've sold videos to has shared them as far as I know. If they have shared them then it hasn't been onto a public webpage for anyone to see. Funnily enough people who pay for something are usually less inclined to give it to a bunch of freeloaders who've contributed nothing. Although there are tippers who cap, or cappers who tip, in my experience it is usually a lurking guest/basic/freeloader. Yes there are guys who'll go around buying videos so they can try and sell them to other members for cheaper so they get tokens to spend. Some members don't even do it for the money, maybe they just enjoy buying something and then sharing it around. Most guys who buy my videos though I'll chat to a bit, and usually I'll have them on my friendslist.

I would be very upset if a member bought videos from me and shared them around so I'm glad in the year and a quarter that I've been selling videos regularly that it hasn't happened.

I have been capped before though and have had the videos posted up, all from public stuff. I do not like it. I would like to minimise the people who can see me naked/doing shows to people who catch me online at a set time and who give me money. But, although people finding me/seeing a video of me would really suck, it wouldn't be the end of the world. Cappers do make me want to do less public shows. I even stopped for a while because there was a day I got capped loads. Personally I just don't like the idea of it. With camming I've always known the chances of someone finding me on mfc are slim. They'd have to catch me online at the exact time, they'd have to know my exact camsite, they'd have to search through the thousands of models to find me. One of my friends has always wanted to find me, I mentioned to him once I was getting annoyed at videos being posted up of me. He found the video within 10 minutes, and with it all my camming information. Now he's a good friend and just thought it was very funny, but the wrong person doing that it could work out as very different.

Basically videos are in fact probably less likely to be capped/shared around than public shows unless you are a model who literally sells them by the bucketload so loads of people have them, but then if you're a model that popular you're more likely to be capped anyway. I make a large part of my income off videos. It very much encourages people to tip, and I like selling them!
I would be extremely upset if someone I'd had interaction with bought my videos and then went and shared them around. More upset than some freeloading capping the public room. I also would not like it if the videos I sell were out there to view for free. The public room is different, I'm already showing it in the room and people pay for the interaction/the fun. Recordings in public rooms are crap. My videos are awesome.

And I'll second Jessi, I can understand you mean well, but you talking to us like we're completely moronic and might never have thought of this makes you look kind of dim. Models are for the most part not stupid girls who can only shove dildos inside them, I'm sure you don't actually think that, but writing a post like this asking these kinds of questions is implying that you do think that.

My question is "Why do you ask obvious questions without really thinking them through?" There are some assumptions you can make in life. One assumption you are allowed to make is that someone doing something as their career are fully are of the pros and cons of it. Probably a lot more aware than you are. Funnily enough, camgirls are more concerned for their personal safety than you are of theirs. If they are happy and comfortable then you should be too.
A more valid question firstly would have been "Do you find you get your videos shared around more than your public shows?" I'm not sure about the other girls, but like I have already said, my answer would be no, none of my videos have been shared/published. And then after that question you'd have realised your original question it moot. If we had said "yes they always get shared around" then you could have asked your original question and it wouldn't have seemed so... well, patronising.

^What Jessi said.^

 

[emptiedglass]

I think heard about one model who retired from camming... but not before begging everyone who had bought videos/pictures from her to delete them. And to delete their archived private shows off MFC.
Needless to say, anyone who didn't respond with a flat out "no" told her to refund all the tokens they'd spent on her, first. :lol:

 

[LadyLuna]

I was hoping to be a teacher, but that ship sank a few months before I started camming. When I started camming, I said that at the very least, I'll have to wait until my appearance changes enough to not be able to recognize me anymore before I teach.

Then I realized that I'm never going to agree with the road teachers are forced to walk these days and gave up on my dream of being an official teacher. Because, fuck not being able to hug my students. Fuck not being able to talk naturally in front of them. Fuck not being able to treat them as a friend when we're not in the classroom. Fuck not being allowed to go get a vibrator just because *gasp* a parent might find out I'm only human!

My point here is- I've never really been concerned with the idea that my picture is online forever, not since I started camming. Since I'm not worried about it, why not sell the pics and vids? Guys obviously want them, and half the reason I love this job is because I like actually giving people things they want, if I'm comfortable with doing whatever it is anyway.

 

[emptiedglass]

Theft is something that most businesses have to deal with.
You can't refuse to sell something because you're afraid it'll be stolen.
I once worked in a store where certain items were stolen almost as often as they were sold. But we continued to stock them, and in the end, I think we made more money than we lost.
It's been known to happen that people download a girl's pirated video, like what they see, and eventually make their way to her room & become a paying customer.

Erm, I'm not entirely sure what the point was of your story, but um... what a bunch of douche's! I mean no, I wouldn't ask people to delete videos they'd bought off me, just keep them to themselves. But I'm sorry but when people tip me for videos, they're also tipping for countdowns/shows/the general amount of time I'm hanging about in my room, dancing, talking, putting on shows. The videos are extra bonus's. If a guy had bought videos ages ago, had been able to enjoy them for a large amount of time, had spent many nights in her room being able to watch and enjoy her even when he wasn't tipping, I do think if it was important to her that once she quit her slate gets wiped clean that the guys respect that. People do deserve second chances and people do change. Most of the girls you watch are so young and have absolutely no idea what they're doing for the moment, let alone in the future. Most of them accept that they will be capped etc or it could come up, but that girls real life circumstances might have changed completely. To scoff at her and ask for ALL the tokens they'd spent on her back is a really douchey thing to do. God, I really hope it didn't happen like your story because that makes me lose faith in men.

I mean jesus, when a guy deletes a video of me they bought I send it back to him free of charge when he asks. I would really hope that the members would give me the same respect I give them if I asked it of them. Otherwise they're the kinds of guys who when they break up with a girl and she politely asks if he can delete the sex tape of them and all the topless/naughty pics he demands that she give back every single gift he ever gave her and every meal he ever bought her (even though he probably wouldn't give back gifts and money for meals she paid for him). Sexual content is not a possession. When I send someone a video, it's not really theirs, I have simply allowed them to view it at will. As I said before, I don't think it'd be something I'd personally ever ask from members, but I would hope no human being would have such a nasty response to something that isn't a completely unreasonable request.

I assume it'd be just the tokens that were spent on the particular content that was being deleted. Sorry for not being clear on that.
Even if they agreed to do it, the model would have to take the member's word that the files were deleted, as there would be no way to be sure they were deleted.
Again, it was just something I'd heard, so I have no idea how much truth there was to it, or if there was any at all.

Why isn't there a law past that protects people from being discriminated against in the workforce if they had done any kind of adult entertainment work in the past?

As much as it's harsh, working with children and having hundreds of dirty sex videos of you over the internet isn't really appropriate. I think if you'd been a stripper, or even a prostitute it's different as no one but adults would see it, but teachers should set an example. As much as I am totally cool with my job, I am not the average girl, neither are most camgirls. Most girls wouldn't want to do this job. Having a teacher who could potentially be your idol having videos which you could access as a child would send across a seriously bad message to girls and could really distract boys attention in class and generally cause a load of grief. Kids knowing about sex? cool. Porn is not sex. Porn is porn. I love it, but it's perverted and too many kids watch it. It sets an extremely bad example. I've heard many guys/woman complaining about how awful young men are at the moment... I swear porn is to blame for half of it. Growing up in an age where all the kids of 13/14 were watching it and expecting girls to be like that was not cool.
Saying that, there are loads of other things teachers cannot do. Like if they got caught having sex outside with their partner, or anything like that, they'd lose their career instantly. I also think cases like say if a teacher had made a sex tape with a partner and it came out it would be unfair to fire them. Those are cases of perfectly normal, healthy sexual relations that are just experimenting a bit, it's completely different from performing sexual acts on camera for money where people can see them.

It's not really that difficult, if you want to be a teacher or have a job to that extent? Don't cam/do porn. Teaching is usually something you start training for when you're young and most always want to do it. With literally any other job when it's working with other adults I think there should be some kind of protection on peoples jobs for stuff like this, especially if it's in the past. When it's about children I think as nice as it sounds to be really liberal, children get damaged and messed up really bloody easily.

[AmberCutie]

Why do you sell photos/videos?

Because it is really hard to hit daily token goals without them. Once upon a time, being a cam girl mainly just involved being ON cam, live. But over the years it has evolved into being a multi-media girl, and if you don't make videos and picture sets to sell for tokens, you fall behind in the game.

It is necessary.

 

[Just Me]

Why isn't there a law past that protects people from being discriminated against in the workforce if they had done any kind of adult entertainment work in the past?

I understand your question, but when employers can choose not to hire you or fire you for pretty much any reason, personal choices you have control over will be far down the list.

 

[mynameisbob84]

Bullet points, yo :-D

- Videos for sale or no videos for sale, a cam girl's shows are likely gonna end up being shared without their permission and thus their privacy compromised. I'm guessing most cam girls accept this when they start camming. If they can't accept that, then camming might not be a good career choice for them.

- Once the videos are made and uploaded, it's passive income from there on out (save for sending the member the link to the video). That being the case, the bigger question is why wouldn't a model sell videos? (I'm sure there are many reasons a model might choose not to offer video content. This question is rhetorical :-D)

- If a member pays for a video and a model later asks them to delete it, they are under no obligation whatsoever to do so. Imagine if in a few years, Justin Bieber decides he wants to become an actor and wants to erase his history as a pop starlet and his management send letters to all his fans who have spent money on his music and merchandise and whatnot in the past, asking them to send all that stuff back (without any refund or compensation) because Justin wants to move on and do something different with his life... it just wouldn't happen.

- The whole "you can't teach if your tits are on the internet" thing really bugs me and I wish we lived in a society that didn't demonize sex and that parents weren't so terrified of having to explain certain things about the world we live in to their children. That said, that is the world we live in and I would agree that if a woman wants to teach, then camming is something they should know to avoid.

 

[LilyMarie]

Models do understand that anything uploaded/sent over the internet is there forever, yes? With the potential of being posted anywhere at anytime?

Members do understand that the majority of models are super aware of this and you're not telling any of us anything new here, yes?

Thus your sex video that you sent to a man in russia has no chance of coming back to haunt you again? Wrong. It's probably on your neighbors computer to his shock horror when he realizes who it is.

Probably? You think it's probable that a girl's neighbor gets to see a video she sells...? LOL.
Everything can happen. We know this. However, not everything is likely to happen. The truth is, unless you're a famous pornstar or really popular top model who doesn't block any region, the odds that your neighbor ends up with your video are very low. Please don't say it's 'probable' - that's ridiculous.
Also... what if I told you there are actually lots of models who don't care who knows about their job? Their videos will never be able to come back to haunt them.

I understand that it's dangerous enough just broadcasting online, as members do have the power to record video feeds and create files out of them, but SENDING them on purpose? really? I can't see any logic in that when you can make plenty of money just doing your shows and connecting with members.

Believe it or not, there are decent members on MFC who only use a model's videos for their own entertainment. They don't even think about spreading them. Crazy, right?
The logic: We make money selling our videos. :mrgreen:

There's always someone in the room who doesn't care for chitchat, but wants to see me masturbate right now, but I'm not doing any groups or privates at the moment. Or someone who is willing to spend around $18 on one of my solo videos, but not willing to spend $40-100 on a private show. That person will just buy a video of his choice, and then he gets to see me masturbate. Problem solved.

Considering how long you've been on MFC according to the post in your sig, this should really make sense to you... :?

An additional fact - I haven't seen any of my solo videos uploaded anywhere, so far, and the oldest of them is over a year old.
However, a long recording of my only real girl/girl show in public chat (end of 2012) was uploaded on 2 sites. In general, I see much more recordings, especially from public chat, on those nasty sites, than videos that the models sell.
So much for 'making videos puts you into more danger than just camming'. :thumbleft:

 

[Rose]

From my loose-moraled, heathen living stand point, I could give two flying craps who knows about my job with a couple exceptions: that either of my siblings never sees my work because that would make them VERY uncomfortable seeing me naked and that my soon-to-be kiddo never sees it because nobody EVER wants to see their parents having sex or naked. :thumbleft:

Otherwise, I knew full well when I started any kind of naked video stuff that it would most likely be on the internet forever. I was making amateur sex videos long before I ever started camming though. Camming was just the natural next step to make some money off of it, since I was going to keep making videos anyways.

Now I only do pictures and videos because it doesn't require any face time and I can tweak all the minor parts of my content before publishing them without having to worry about my big mouth screwing me over on cam. Selling pictures and videos allows me to present the absolute best version of my cam self and nothing that goes against that image gets published, unlike live camming where all of it is seen and can't be edited. It lets me show exactly what I want you to see and nothing I don't, so that in the future I don't have to worry about someone stumbling over an embarrassing capped video of me. Plus, who doesn't want to make money while they're sleeping? That's probably my favorite way to make money.

I'm also not the norm in terms of most camgirls because all of the important people in my life know what I do for a living (or know an appropriate censored version) so I have zero fears of being found out. My family all know what I do and know my camming name so they can avoid potential weirdness from seeing parts of me they'd rather not as well.

 

[LilyEvans]

Well, I am one of those models who is pretty conscious of keeping my camlife private from my nearest and dearest. I would prefer it very much if my family and friends and neighbors and high school classmates never, ever, ever caught wind of my cam career. Yet I sell videos!

Why? Well, it's too much income to pass up, first of all. They sell, and they sell well. People want videos and business is about finding a demand and filling it.

I have found several stolen videos of myself online, and you know what? They were all from public chat. Hell, I'm clothed in most of them! I have yet to find a leaked video that someone had paid money for. Although it does happen, I do think most people are less likely to share content that they had to pay for vs. content they capped for free, and for several reasons.

My last point will be that although I don't want my family and friends and acquaintances to know about my life as a smut peddler, it would not be the end of the world if they did. Of course it would be weird, and stressful, and things would probably be pretty shitty for awhile...but in the end, I think I could deal with it if it came to that. I have no aspirations to be a teacher, or a politician, or anything with a high profile.

Basically, camming is a job I can only do for a limited time anyway and I plan to make as much money as possible while I still can.

 

[Anonymous]

Deja vu. Didn't we just have this "Us cam girls know what we're getting into" conversation in the Stolen Videos thread? Lol.

 

[Miss_Lollipop]

I've never understood this myself, yet I see or hear about it everytime I'm around anything MFC related.

"I'm selling videos and photos for tokens" etc etc etc

Models do understand that anything uploaded/sent over the internet is there forever, yes? With the potential of being posted anywhere at anytime? I've seen countless model videos either screencaptured or produced on various porn sites, I've even had to request some to be taken down for model friends.

They do understand that people share things via the internet? Thus your sex video that you sent to a man in russia has no chance of coming back to haunt you again? Wrong. It's probably on your neighbors computer to his shock horror when he realizes who it is.

I know I'm potentially opening up a can of worms here, I'd just appreciate a models view on this.. To me it doesn't make sense in any sense.

If you are camming, you're taking the risk of it coming back to haunt you.

Have you considered that it doesn't matter to some models, if their neighbour sees it?


For me personally: I do. not. care.

I do not wish to see them distributed NOT BECAUSE i care about people finding out, etc. I wrote that off when i started camming to begin with. i do not wish to see them distributed because those people should be buying them from me!


I simply don't do anything I don't want to deal with explaining to my grandchildren, neighbour, or family.

Ok actually maybe thats a lie. I DISLIKE having to deal with explaining it to those people. However, it is something I am inherently OK with if it comes to that. Just like any other job, this has its dangers, and we decide what kind of risk comes with it.

I think you seem to think that models don't realize these risks, or we wouldn't possibly be doing this. While I'm sure some models regret it later, and im sure there are some that are a bit...er... naive, overall I think you grossly underestimate models ability to make decisions about what they are and are not ok with being out there, forever.

As much as it's harsh, working with children and having hundreds of dirty sex videos of you over the internet isn't really appropriate. I think if you'd been a stripper, or even a prostitute it's different as no one but adults would see it, but teachers should set an example.

An example of what now?

Being independant, smart, beautiful, and good with people?
Making a smart financial decision?

Doing a job that does not DEMONIZE or SHAME sex or sexual fantasies?


I am proud of who and what I am. And if I was a teacher, I'd be an excellent example on the whole to students.

My role-model was a teacher/social worker, and a career prostitute in new zealand. And while i never got ovetly exposed to her prositution, it was there and present. She said she never once regretted it, though she had some really dangerous situations happen. She said at the time, it made sense. And that she was proud of who she was.

I don't think it made me want to do sex work, but it changed my opinion from one of negative, judgemental and PITY for sex workers, to a positive or neutral stance.

(im on cold/flu meds and feeling a lil spacey so if this makes no sense, i apologize. its also not meant to sound aggressive to anyone here, just .. passionately present my opinion)
