It's absolutely perfect for the webcam industry, there's a bunch of other features too I haven't mentioned.
Perhaps someone else can add to what I've already posted and turn this into a discussion
Generic porn? Absolutely not! A lot of people who are complaining the industry is dying are still churning out the same generic non engaging porn that a lot of surfers got bored with years ago.
That's why the single model paysite niche died a quick death, companies like MFC & Chaturbate came along and offered a much better setup and a lot of them jumped ship.
The future of adult is SO exciting! Virtual Reality in adult is going to be EPIC!

I would add that this is also something that would work well with dating sites. Engaging users to become more active and check out features they might not have before.
Let's say you've gamified a dating site and everything a user does on the site earns a point or achievement. These points could be added up and used like a rewards system. So, say 150 points earns an upgraded membership for a month. Now that users has had to do things to reach that level, say send messages/flirts and engaged in video chat. Now that one month upgrade shows him other features. He's more likely to stay on the site longer.
Points would be earned for uploading pics, filling out profiles and surveys, rating other pictures and profiles, logging in daily, etc. The more things you encourage them to do, the better. The longer they stay onsite, the better chance of them staying longer.
My favorite brain to pick with regards to gamification is Yu-Kai Chou and his Octalysis Framework with his 8 core values.
