You clearly haven't spent any real time analyzing chaterbate from a business perspective. I've spent the last week or so looking at MFC and chaterbate and it's clear to me that the other cam sites will be declining over the next couple years which means those $100 signups will be going away.. A "customer" can get everything they provide and more (personal emails from the girls, skype shows/calls, videos, pictures etc) and for less money on the free cam sites. In addition, these free sites provide a way for lonely guys to just chat with girls without it costing any money, thus building more of a social experience which builds loyalty etc to the cam models and thus the site.

As for chaterbate itself, it's lacking in traffic which of course means not as many girls but it has the potential... However, it currently provides more of a "personal" experience than MFC and some of the girls seem to like it more because of that even though they're on both sites. I personally like the layout/interface a lot more than MFC but they need to do some work and add more features if they're going to grow to the size of MFC. Whether they're going to do that or not will be the determining factor in it's success/failure IMO.

Even with fewer girls, lower traffic etc, the top girls are still earning 15k - 20k tokens a week at this point and some of them work multiple sites... I watched one of them get about 3k tokens in maybe an hour last night and she was still working it when I left... And that's with a customer base that doesn't spend as much as MFC.. i.e. they're tipping 10-100 tokens whereas on MFC, there's guys dropping 50-1000. I think one of the top earners on chaterbate doesn't even get naked.. LOL.. I've watched some "popular" girls on both sites and as surprising as it may seem, I don't see the MFC girls making a ton more money as they seem to set similar show goals. The MFC girls will typically make it quicker though but then they do their show and leave.. However, some of the MFC girls probably make a lot more because of all their extras and because they've built up a big base of fans which spend money on all those things. Something that will come with time with chaterbate.

Get your $100+/signup on the standard cam sites while you can because it's not going to be around for many more years.
