This thread reminds me of one of my favourite quotes from The Wire.
Bodie:
"Shit man, yo, if this was the old days."
Slim Charles:
"Yeah now, well, the thing about the old days... they the old days."
Are the channels perfect? No, nothing in life is. Can the channels be improved? Yes, everything in life can always be improved. Personally I'd love to see an in improvement in terms of production values. I'm not looking for Steven Spielberg quality directing, Ruth E Carter costume design, Hannah Beechler production design, Charlie Kauffman screenwriting, Roger Deakins cinematography or epic John Williams scores, but it would be nice if the camera, lighting, sound, technology and studios were a bit better quality. And a few more events throughout the year like cosplay weekend during Halloween would be nice too. Given that this is all part of the business called show, I'm sure if everyone spent money towards the type of content they would like to see, then I'm sure all the data gathered and profits earned, would lead to more of the type of stuff you'd like to see being made on here. There does appears to be a significant number of users on this site that want everything for nothing and if they don't get it then they throw their toys out the pram in the freechat. It's almost as if they feel entitled to demand the world from a babe, but feel outraged if they're asked to spend any money towards it. This is probably an unpopular opinion amongst other fans on here, but I think only the people that contribute towards a tip goal should be able to watch them. It's so annoying when users that didn't pay for them comment in the freechat about how much they enjoyed the tip goal show, or when the tip goal show will happen, or did they miss the tip goal show. Some viewers of the shows seem to just lurk on here 24/7 recording shows, asking questions and giving compliments. Instead of spending their money on the babes they like by calling, tipping, camming and buzzing. It would be interesting to see what they would do if they were forced to pay to watch channels and pay to use the freechat. If it was up to me I'd charge ten credits to send a message in the freechat and fifty credits to send a private message. I'd make users pay to watch the streams for an extended period of time too. My opinion isn't more important than anyone else's on this subject. At the end of the day this place is about having a bit of fun, and if it isn't fun anymore, and you think it isn't worth your free time or your hard earned money, then at least there are millions of free websites and babes that I'm sure you'll find more enjoyable.
If all of the above was too much to read, then I'll let Ritchie from the TV show "The Bear" explain it a little bit more succinctly lol.
