No.

Let me explain how I arrive at my conclusions about this business.

I don't go on what people post on boards. I look around to see a wider picture, this is what I know about cams.

Big cams studios I knew in Prague and Brno are closed.
Few girls who leave cams and come over to this side went back when we were shooting. Today it should be the opposite.
Few agents would refer girls to cam sites. Today they should be sending them in droves.
When people like Barry and probably Squealer ask me to set up a cam studio with my own money, I wonder why they don't invest in one themselves. Or even need me. According to many I have little skills to offer.
I knew the big cam operation just outside Amsterdam and some of the girls, it. It did very well back in the day. Then moved to a villa in Bulgaria or Romania and now the owners run a bar or club in Mexico I believe.
There are far too many here moaning about cam sales to take the word of those working or owning them.

The one thing I never suffered from was getting good girls to come for castings, however few were good looking enough or looked teeny enough to fit my needs, this doesn't apply to cams. If a cam girl could earn $500+ a week, studios would have a line of them waiting outside the door ready to work. They would be hanging onto girls already working. $2,000 a month in todays economy is good, 38,000 CZK here is a great wage. MFC wouldn't have a girl working. Can a studio make money with that? 12 cams x 4 girls a day = $96,00. Affiliates wouldn't be moaning, you wouldn't be asking me and they wouldn't be closing. If a small studio could make that money.

Yes I know there are good and bad, maybe there are some girls making $20,000 a month. Some big whales spending that a month on one girl. And maybe it's like the cream on top of the cherry on top of a cake made of bread.
