You may have noticed, no matter what website you use, or weather you are a performer or a viewer, camming as we once knew it… is different. It’s no surprise that with an influx of new faces every day trying to make a spot for themselves in this industry, that we have suffered a serious over saturation of the market. Gone are the days of this being taboo, we are now living in a time where sex work is a trend.
What if I told you LIVE CAMMING, really wasn’t all that much of a trend these days when it comes to performers? At least its not in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. These countries are where you will find your predominantly english speaking performers. Your independent performers. YOU, and ME. Did you know that we are the minority?
With my new found free time sitting on cam in my empty chatroom, its allowed me the ability to do some serious research and number crunching. I figured if I could better understand what was going on, then I could better maneuver around what was going on. So there I sat, from website, to website, gathering my own statistics from our current top 4 high traffic platforms.
Below I will share with you my findings
⭐️These numbers are the average number of models LIVE at a given time in only the top performing countries of each website and will vary⭐️
Streamate:
*Streamate has no category specifically to filter United States Models. United States is grouped with Canada, UK, and Australia*
US/UK/CA/AUS: 169 female models
Latin America: 1,920 female models
Western/Eastern Europe: 500 female models
Stripchat:
United States: 100 female models
Columbian: 3,417 female models
Africa: 490 female models
Kenyan: 338 female models
MyfreeCams:
North America: 112 female models
South America: 325 female models
Europe: 336 female models
Chaturbate:
United States: 265 female models
South American: 4,576 female models
Now that you have all the numbers on one page to better visualize the breakdown across the board, and hopefully have a better understanding of the drastic difference in the population of the cam world, using this information can answer a lot of the questions you may often ask yourself these days.
Different regions usually mean different price ranges. It’s no secret that regions outside of the US,CA,UK,AUS are exceptionally lower on the price scale, and we are clearly way outnumbered. When looking at the big picture, we as the minorities, are just a small group of performers with high price tags, in an entire sea, of very low priced performers. Creating the image that we are overpriced. When in reality, we ourselves are often underpriced, in order to try to mesh better with so many insanely low price scales.
WHY?
It makes a lot of sense when you analyze general life in the most popular regions. For example, in Columbia, the average citizen’s MONTHLY salary is the equivalent of $1,059 USD. The average price of rent for a one bedroom apartment is between $200-$300 and for a two bedroom ranges between $500-$640.
For some with lower cost of living, this business is still quite lucrative, and appears to be a cake walk. Because of the main camming population being in the position to set the base pay and expectations for our services, this is why we have been deemed “too expensive” and why we are constantly expected to do things for free, or to lower our prices. After all, different regions also means different styles of camming.
If its not clear by now, we are dwiddling, and as long as there continues to be such a steady influx of new faces, especially in low priced regions, we will continue to be buried. Let’s not fail to mention that the breakdown of all these numbers does not affect the camsites at all. 50%-65% of it all goes to that one pocket. The only pockets being affected are ours.
There is so much more to go on about, but we will start here, and I will leave you with this…
Although the numbers are saddening, We should all feel blessed and extremely lucky to still be out here kicking and doing the damn thang! There are not many of us here… so like… we are kinda freakin’ cool ya know, HELLO!
PLEASE stay strong, and don’t let these websites bully you, gaslight you, or convince you, to lower your prices. STAND YOUR GROUND AND DO YOUR PART TO PRESERVE OUR PRICE SCALE IN OUR REGION.
This is our business, our livelihoods, and for some of us, our life’s work. We know our worth, and what we bring to the table in the industry, and it is our collective and individual duty to do our due diligence to protect our position.
