Well as long Chaturbate give them the option to withdraw to Bitcoin I don't think this will be an issue.

the freemiums are an absolute mess as i just checked all of em out... CB has screwed everybody involved with the site by adding too many ad-bots for the models = 99% of the rooms are "self-sabatoging" by spamming their own rooms to a completely unchattable state = models are all "why so quiet" and "you are too quiet USERNAME" = chasing all the actual chatters outta the rooms... CHATurbate put the CHAT back ASAP and thing$ will get much better on the site....

the freemium model is seriously flawed and needs an update to a "freemium forced login" put people back in the rooms instead of catering to the freebaters who do not bother to login anymore.... 7000 viewers and like 200 peeps in the room = just dumb all around :upsidedow

So weird I have always had more success with Freemium websites

yeah there is ton$ of money to be made with the freemiums, but they are doing things wrong and slowly morphing their sites into "live tubes" with horribly mucked up chat portions of the rooms, they should be getting better and performing alot better than they seem to be for lots of people promoting them... clean chats = good for biz, spammed up ad filled rooms = bad for biz.

at one point CB was on their own twitter saying "we are making some features available to peeps who are NOT logged into the site" which is just the strangest thing ever as they should want and really need people logged into the site at this point.

the few models im friendly with on CB and have gotten them to clean up their rooms have had some good success in getting chatters back, the ones who refuse to listen are sitting around in silence literally going crazy at times, as "awkward silence" while on cam can be a horrible feeling... im mostly ranting at this point hoping somebody who matters will realize that simple changes would be good for everybody involved :2 cents:

I'm having a lower than expected revenue this month YoY. Is anybody else noticing this?

Yup. I just contacted the support team, to review a few whales as I'm more than sure that they have new accounts now under model affiliate accounts. Which is, btw, against the tos.

As MobileVRXXX states in his sig. "I had a mixed view due to their support but since then they returned a huge whale to me and even added my cut from his new account!"

If it's true, they owe me lots of cash at this time. One of the whales was spending $500 per day for more than 6 months and all of a sudden, the user was gone.

Will see and I will let you guys know. I, however will not stop until I know the truth.

ps. Any info on MobileVRXXX? He is gone for almost a week now. Hope he is ok.

Cheers,
z

My suspicion is that due to macroeconomic challenges (inflation, war, gas prices) we're seeing lower consumer discretionary spending

I also miss a whale since the start of januari that was spending regularly. Do you ask support to look ad the User UID?

Yeah, I did a few days ago. The biggest whale gone missing last year, around June.. I asked the support to look things up, however, I made a mistake, and I gave them the User UID, instead of the User ID. Not sure what the difference is, however, all I got for an answer is

However, I kindly asked them to review their db if the same user, which, I believe is easy to figure out, has a new account under a model's affiliate account...

Waiting for their response atm.

I'm so pissed about their support team, I would gladly join their team to serve the affiliates and everything that is pissing us off...

Thanks for the info, then i am going to contact support too.

It would be nice if they set a system that when someone (a spender) is making a new acc with a known card or bank acc automaticly is set on their old User UID/ID

Exactly. To mention MobileVRXXX, the sentence he has in his sig:

gives me hope.

Tried to contact him via pm, but no response so far.

edit: I have submitted my top 5 missing whales to them as well.

Exactly, nothing wrong with the freemium model in itself, but the way they are applying it isn't focused on conversions, pretty much the opposite.

I'm guessing they don't want the freeloaders to go to one of the other freemium sites. Because a freeloader is still a potential paying customer. so better to have 1000 freeloaders than 0 freeloaders.

They are just so big they probably don't really care, and are more busy with expanding the brand than focussing on conversion

I certainly agree that the CB chat on the moment is a mess, the main part in the chat is promotion etc. what is very annoying for the one who wants to say something. They say something and bleep bleep bleep it's gone from the chatwindow.

Out of that, what do you think about the Lovesense over the cam, imo also very annoying, the same for text over the cam.

And then there is another thing, more and more models keeping the cam on with a sign "be back soon" or something, or even displaying their QR code for OnlyFans for hours.

Howdy bro thanks for worrying about me but I had a post like 12 hours before yours :).

Everything is fine. In total they have given me back 2 whales (signed with new accounts) and gave me the cut from the money they spent on the other account/s.

That being said I have given them a list of around 30 people that have gone missing and I still see their footprint on the websites I manage so it is a bit strange, but don't know anything else I can do about it.

Awesome, good to hear that you are ok. Any idea where to apply for a remote support job at CB? I'm pretty sure gfy needs a dedicated support person :D

This is something I am willing to do as well ( mainly because they don't respond that much :D )

The month is still not over and this Guy made 118k$
Amazing!
https://i.postimg.cc/yJkqjB04/Scherm...e-10-32-26.png

I bet these guys are the ones who spend 5-6 figures in backlinks yearly

Really impressive numbers. I wonder if he is on the GFY.

:thumbsup

I'm on that list and never bought a backlink.

I know your website :)

CB complete down....

EDIT: and up again...

Lets keep that a secret for now, please. That's all I need is hundreds of sites copied to match mine. I've found a few already. The funny thing is they forgot to change the affiliate ID.:1orglaugh

Yes, we are too. I think it's whales slowly being stolen by models :Oh crap:(

Probably the guys at number 1 have been cooperating with Chaturbate since the very beginning of the creation of the Chaturbate affiliate program :)

Since my tool has been advertise mainly on here and BHW, I suppose that guy is around. But I dont have any more info that you guys do.

I would be in the top if I combined my 5 accounts.

Why do you have 5 accounts?

:2 cents:

I was about to ask. :)

I would also be in the top 5 if I combined my accounts, all accounts from all programs that is.

btw anyone else got fucked by google's recent "review article" updates. Or all of you have tubes?

I heard there was an update, but not from what. I only see lower numbers...

Anywhere an article about that update to read?

The update has been rolled out in phases over the last months. The last update started about a week ago and will take another couple of weeks to be fully rolled out (confirmed by google), so it can still go up and down. Probably down

https://www.seroundtable.com/march-2022-google-product-reviews-update-rolling-out-33131.html

Maybe that's why the last month the numbers go lower and lower.

Going to take a look at that, thnx!

Different reasons: not the same company, not the same technique, mitigating suspension risk etc etc.

I came here to see if anyone else was experiencing problems, my traffic is cut in half :(, back to the drawing board

Same here... But if i go to the link of Digitalfantasies and read on, i think we need a big drawning board

I see it's about product reviews but I want to know why that would affect adult? I mean I don't have review sites but it could be dancing around, we will have to give it a few weeks and just watch, my traffic shot up Saturday and then went back down the following day.

I have one separate site with al my sites/links on it with a small review. Going to look to extend the reviews.

Sometimes the hits on CB go up like a rocket and then even fast down. What i noticed is that i have some hours with not 1 hit, and then the next 30 mins i have hundreds, and then nothing again for hours.

Does somebody knows if CB has changed something in their API?

On al my sites i just get 2-3 shemale cams while CB itself shows all

I just checked camfoxes and only 1 shemale showing. Hmmm.


edited in. Took a quick look and it appears that they have changed the gender field. Shemale used ot be an 's', now it appears that they are doing trandgender 't' with a modifier, like 'tf' for tran female.

I am seeing tf, tn and tm. I assume trans - female, trans_ neutral???, trans-male , maybe ?? Not sure about the neutral.
.

I also saw that, the s is now t, but also modifiers. Now trying to get running again in a custom script, and then find out where that is defined in Robo...

They also changed out the top url for trans (in linking codes) and the old one and the new one do not work.

.

So it looks like they are making a mess of it...

I already fixed the custom script i that i have beside Robo, that's working fine again.

Now sleeping time here, tomorrow another day

Thanks for alerting on it.

I have mine fixed up for now too. See if they change it up some more.

.

Robo scripts breaking in 3, 2, 1

idk why they change that without telling their affiliates

Two of my Robo sites now broken over this.

This is a weird thing to do all of a sudden. The docs on their site still specify:

gender: Can be "f", "m", "s", or "c" for "female", "male", "trans", and "couple".

Why can't they keep the existing "s" field instead of changing the code to "tf" and then add other new genders on top for backwards compatibility?

Hope they fix this soonest, cam listing t shows nothing, cam listing tf shows "all", using the API2 and it's messed up, maybe with the old API I can filter the tf, the new one is limited to maybe 1-2 at a time, not suitable for this.
Even the trans-tab at the discover-mainpage is broken and leads to no cams at the moment.
https://chaturbate.com/discover/?g=t
Both APIs can't get used for trans people, as described in the other posts.

Dear Chaturbate, please give us a working t back, or the s if you like that more, or assign letters to the special stuff if you have to, just make it work again;-)

Yep, on the docs they changed nothing, still how it was.

And i agree that they had to inform us about the change, now it's fucked up.

It looks like they are trying to split the shemale into a sort of sub categories. On the 2 custom script that i fixed i used tn, that gives the most cams, around 500. I think that stays for "transsexual neutral".

chaturbate update 1 month ago:
API change was just 1-2 days ago.
The tn does nothing for me at the cam listings iframe and at the api2 at the moment, nothing does anything to get the trans peoples so far.

Maybe I can try to filter it out of the APIs by setting a huge limit, as I've done before, but looks like a step backward.

A working solution now is to remove the gender and set &tag=trans at the API, there I get 50.
