I came up with a fully-functional client-side API for MyFreeCams, back in the day when their revshare existed. I used it to power my site and it was every bit as functional as what Chaturbate uses today, if not more so. It was also quite profitable. It was, however, pure hell to code. But the reward when it began working the way I envisioned was almost as satisfying as the money I earned from it.

There was even a time I blended both the Chaturbate API and MyFreeCams API and whitelabled both sets of models together on the same page. Just to see if it could be done. It worked like a charm, and I ran my site that way for a while. It was then that I realized how much of a bigger site Chaturbate is, because their models would typically bump all the MyFreeCams models way down to the bottom of the list, except for one or two really popular ones.

I kinda wish MyFreeCams' revshare still existed, just so I could resurrect that demonic beast from hell and apply new things to it that I've learned to code since then. Yes, I still have animosity toward that wretched thing. The difficulty in creating it left me with post-traumatic coding disorder.

What I'd recommend to you is, if coding is a chore for you then don't do it. Find something you enjoy doing and focus on that.
Thanks. That is also another option. Creative writing or youtubing, i have an eye on those too. Or even taking some roles in the ads, fuck, I need to sit down and think. With all that money chasing and providing the family I almost forgot what is it I like.
