New Trend: Voyeur cam

It seems that many camming sites have caught onto the voyeur cam trend and are filling our rooms with members and guests that can’t/don’t/won’t use the chat, no matter how much we try to entice them to do so. This seems to coincide with another interesting trend; declining traffic. Today, however, I will try to stick to the topic of non-chatters.

I can remember a time when more than half the room would be chatting. In fact, it would be so hard to keep up with the scrolling text that I’d have to make the font size smaller just to be able to read it all. Over the years, as traffic slowly but surely declined, that scrollbar became shorter and shorter. There are only a few possible explanations as to why members and guests have suddenly decided to stop using the chat. Humanity hasn’t evolved that much since the inception of chatrooms on the internet, to change how we behave in social settings. Commonly, we do still enter a room and say “hello”, especially when greeted. That said, let’s explore these possibilities for why members and guests no longer use the chat (or what seems this way):

 

1. They’re not real in the first place (it’s not impossible for a site to fake traffic).
2. What is on display in the room seems to be keeping the members’ and guests’ hands too busy to type. This still doesn’t explain, for those who don’t offer the ‘everything free’ option, why those members and guests used to chat but now don’t.
3. The members and guests are on an entirely different platform with a ‘view-only’ option and lack the chatroom interface feature necessary to communicate with us.

The question remains; what happened to cause this sudden change in member and guest attitudes where chatty visitors, all of a sudden, are the silent type?

 

Without doubt, there are games being played. The ultimate answer is in our revenues and numbers don’t lie.
