Interesting observation.
Sending traffic to cams we pretty much accept the idea that if we lose customers it's due to cam models poaching on our traffic.
I have no idea about the prevalence of certain tactics from the programs themselves, but if I were into that kind of manipulation now would probably be a decent moment in time to get some "business" done.
Remember when MPA2 released with the shaving feature right there on the admin home page. A lot of people didn't like it but developers argued that it was such a commonly requested customization that they decided to add it in by default.
Of course, that's a long time ago, the program owners of today are hopefully not as shady.
