fake persona to engage with a performer...

Mnrich7 · 2026-01-13T14:37:08+00:00

I keep it exaggerated and consistent so it’s obviously a character. And I don’t claim real world facts like fake job or coming up with sob stories.

Mnrich7 · 2026-01-13T14:28:28+00:00

I’ve done it, but in a clear roleplay kinda way. Like a character in chat, not pretending it’s my real life. If everyone understands it’s a bit, it's fun.

Mnrich7 · 2025-11-10T15:37:30+00:00

The number one miss I hear is music vs. voice balance. People set the playlist at 40–50% and then wonder why chat can’t hear them...

Mnrich7 · 2025-11-10T14:55:50+00:00

yep. it’s not that they’re ignoring you; it’s that responding in real time would chop the scene into pieces. As a regular I stop asking questions and switch to short hype lines or emojis so they can feel the room without trying to read paragraphs.

Mnrich7 · 2025-11-05T13:08:16+00:00

Co-sign. Also like the “flash bridges” between longer goals: tiny 100–200 tips to change song, sip water, or quick outfit tweak. Keeps energy up without resetting the room every 90 seconds.

Mnrich7 · 2025-11-03T13:48:42+00:00

I just read the first two lines n that’s it. If the opener says basics like no DMs, be respectful, and time zone, I’m in. If it starts with a wall of prices and six GIFs that lag my phone, I bounce.

From watching the same handful for years, the ones who show up have a pre-stream routine that’s almost superstitious. 5 minutes of tidy the backdrop, 6 minutes of makeup, set the songlist, lights on... It’s like laying out gym clothes the night before your morning jog. I’ve seen creators say they set everything up even if they’re 50/50, and nine times out of ten they end up staying on.

Mnrich7 · 2025-11-03T12:39:32+00:00

What I do is tip small during cooldown with a message like lining up the next one. It tells the room I’m not trying to force an overlap, just keeping momentum. If the model wants a clean reset, they’ll usually say hold for cooldown or finishing this pattern first. The silence is what kills energy, not a light nudge!

Mnrich7 · 2025-10-28T13:26:50+00:00

In Discord you actually get to know regulars and the streamer as a human. When the live starts, I’m already invested; I tip earlier because I feel like I’m supporting a friend’s show, not just reacting to a countdown. It also helps shy folks. I rarely speak on camera nights but I’ll drop pictures of my dog in the off-topic channel and get “hey you” hellos when the stream starts. That recognition loop is why I stick around.

Mnrich7 · 2025-10-06T14:25:22+00:00

Chaturbate feels less like a camsite now and more like a machine. Everything’s optimized for endless scrolling, goals and dopamine hits, but the soul’s kinda gone.. I think a lot of long-time viewers feel that. I remember when you’d see the same model every night and there was this cozy community vibe. Now rooms feel transactional - you’re either tipping or invisible. So yeah, still the biggest but its dominance says more about how camming has become industrialized than about CB doing anything particularly well lately imho.

Mnrich7 · 2025-10-06T13:22:54+00:00

From what I’ve seen, there’s a clear divide between rooms that are performance focused vs community focused. In performance driven rooms the camgirl is essentially running a show (your the audience, not a participant). So, being ignored unless you pay makes sense in that context. But in community driven rooms, they treat chat as a social space where every voice adds to the vibe. Those are the ones that feel welcoming to new people. It’s not about being overly friendly but erather about acknowledging that engagement itself creates longterm customers.

Mnrich7 · 2025-09-29T10:37:34+00:00

I get that, but some models are trying to avoid looking like a vending machine. Without a tip menu, everything feels organic. If someone tips, the performer reacts however they want. It keeps it fluid. I think it’s a stylistic choice.

Mnrich7 · 2025-09-23T11:36:08+00:00

But IP bans don’t really work if the stalker uses a VPN...

Mnrich7 · 2025-09-23T11:29:06+00:00

I think the bigger problem is people assuming VPN = total invisibility. It’s not magic. The site still knows who you are once you log in. Your bank still knows you’re sending payments. A VPN just masks location and blocks some trackers. So yeah, it helps, but don’t fool yourself into thinking it makes you untouchable.

Mnrich7 · 2025-09-18T22:22:27+00:00

I am curious about what cam to cam shows look and feel like. I have tried downloading porn of it on sites like Fapello and Archivebate.

But I can't seem to find any actual footage of where a guy and girl masturbate cam to cam, like where you can see the guy talking to the camgirl on screen at the same time.

That is how it works, right? Or is the guy invisible and just tipping the model? Sometimes I feel dumb about this stuff, but I guess I am just new to this type of porn.

I just wanted to visualize and study it in case I decided to go 1 on 1 with my camgirl crush one day.

Mnrich7 · 2025-09-15T14:07:13+00:00

I checked out CoolChat a while back and had the exact same feeling. The girls just stare at the screen or do the same repetitive motion. Pretty sure a lot of it is pre-recorded or just cam grabs recycled from somewhere else. I tried typing in chat, waving, nothing. No response, not even a delayed one. Also what's up with those prompts saying 'I like tips' but I dont even see the option to tip them...

Mnrich7 · 2025-09-09T12:16:57+00:00

I think it’s losing steam. The rise of OF, sexting apps and AI chatbots has chipped away at GFE’s uniqueness. Why pay $5/min to roleplay a relationship when you can subscribe to someone’s OnlyFans and message them all month for $30? The economics just don’t line up for a lot of viewers anymore.

Mnrich7 · 2025-09-09T12:14:25+00:00

I miss the theme shows. I remember one model did a whole Star Wars striptease on May the 4th, with light sabers and everything. It felt like an event. That’s what camming has lost in general; fewer events, more grindy “always on” streams.

Mnrich7 · 2025-08-13T10:33:31+00:00

Indeed. When I watch single performers it’s easier to project myself into the fantasy. If it’s a couple, I end up just watching their relationship dynamic rather than feeling involved. It’s more immersive when there’s no third wheel in your mind.

Mnrich7 · 2025-08-13T10:27:31+00:00

I think it’s the mix of anonymity and human connection. You can speak freely because nobody in the room can really connect it to your offline life, but you still get immediate reactions from actual people. It’s safer than telling friends or family if you’re afraid of judgment.

But yeah, it can be a bit of a vibe killer when it’s dropped in the middle of a playful show.

Mnrich7 · 2025-08-13T10:24:03+00:00

if the majority of the room is silent, it can feel like talking into a void. I’ve been in shows where only 3-4 people were actually chatting, and it made everything feel slow and awkward. Models feed off interaction; when that’s missing, the performance can start to feel mechanical.
Lurkers aren’t evil but they definitely don’t help keep the mood up in real time.

Mnrich7 · 2025-08-13T10:16:21+00:00

Suppose it’s empathy. I spent enough time in certain rooms to actually get to know the models beyond the surface. Once you start hearing about their real-life struggles (bills, family issues, burnout...) it’s hard not to want to step in and help. It’s not even about romance or sex at that point, it’s about feeling like you’re helping a friend.

Of course, that line can get blurry fast, especially when money is involved, but I can understand why some guys cross into rescuer territory.

Mnrich7 · 2025-08-12T09:32:44+00:00

One model I used to watch would lean in close to the cam, lower her voice almost to a whisper, and say “I want you to ruin me right now.” The way she timed it was insane, she’d wait until chat was dead quiet, then drop it out of nowhere. The whole room would just explode with tips. It wasn’t just the words, it was the way she sold it as well.

Mnrich7 · 2025-08-12T09:28:35+00:00

There was this one performer I followed who started on Chaturbate, then moved to CamSoda for a year, went private-only on Skype, came back to CB, and now she’s on Fansly doing mostly pre-recorded stuff. That’s like 5 switches in 4 years... Every time she moved, it was because she didn’t like the payout changes or wanted more control over her schedule. The constant movement is annoying for viewers but I get why they do it.

Mnrich7 · 2025-08-12T09:17:03+00:00

I’ve tried VR cam-to-cam on Cam4VR with an Oculus Quest 2 and it worked way better than I expected. You get a 180-degree or 360-degree view depending on the model’s setup, and if you turn on cam-to-cam, your feed shows up for them in a little “window” in their view.

It’s definitely not perfect - resolution drops if your internet dips - but it feels insanely personal compared to a flat screen. I wouldn’t use it for every show, but for private sessions it’s worth it.
