An Open Letter to MFC Members

Dear MFC Users,
(Hear me out before you get mad?)
You gotta step up your game. This epidemic that has seemed to take MFC by the throat is killing us all. I already know what you?re thinking, ?Here?s just another model begging?? but that?s not it. I respect the fact that I am here to entertain you guys. I respect that I need to work to earn my pay. I need to ?sell you? on taking me private, or do something worth spending your hard earned money on. I do not believe that I, or any model, should have the attitude of ?I?m going to sit here and demand tokens and not make any effort.? That doesn?t work for anyone; it doesn?t work for the model, nor the user.
In this economy everyone busts their balls for their hard earned money, including myself. Some people make more than others, some work harder/longer hours than others, but we all bust our butts in our own ways. I want to make sure if someone is going to spend their hard earned income on me that it is worth it for them. That is #1 for me. I wouldn?t want to spend my heard earned money on something that didn?t seem worth it to me or left me with a bad taste in my mouth afterwords.
However, I feel like over the recent weeks MFC users have developed this very strong change in pace. This has been something that has been the case for years. Freeloading is no new thing. I have been camming for 5+ years and I know there will always be beggars, freeloaders, and what not. However, as of late everyone has not only become a freeloader, but they?ve also all become silent, and it becomes a catch 22. Every morning I wake up in a great mood and looking forward to a good day. In her open letter, @SpexyAshleigh compared it to being a rock star. You get all pumped up before your show? You?re ready to kill it on stage. You step out and the audience is crickets. Suddenly all your mojo is gone; your good mood, mojo, and excitement is drained from your mind and body. You get bitter and angry and suddenly want to start proving points. That?s what happens to me every day. I get so excited to have a fun day with my room, I log on and I get silence. I?ll get the occasional, ?Hello, how are you?? but conversations never seem to last, or go anywhere. I end up getting discouraged, angry, annoyed, frustrated, and worst of all, turned off. I get mad that my room has a million excuses why no one can tip, I get mad that they are probably all sitting around waiting/hoping for some big tipper to come in and clear the topic countdown or whatever while they jerk off for free without even talking. Sure, occasionally that happens, but it?s not all the time. So we all just end up sitting there in silence, waiting for someone to do something. I get annoyed I get these handfulls of guys who just sit and loiter day after day and say nothing. Contribute nothing. Do nothing. And because there isn?t a big tipper in my room every day we get nowhere. The topic countdown doesn?t move. Topic should be a cumulative thing. I never set a topic expecting one person to clear it! I expect my room as a group to tip here and there, whatever they can afford that day - no more, no less - and work together to clear the countdown. That never happens anymore though. You get the beggars, the guys who harass, the guys who tell me I?m boring, the guys who tell me if I start playing with myself or show something I?ll get more tips or then they?ll start tipping? but guess what? Often when I do achieve a cum show goal I?ll rarely get tipped during that show? so that logic clearly doesn?t work.
WE have to turn MFC back around, as a group. We have to work together, not against each other. We have to work in unison. Girls need to entertain and not expect too much, or give away too much for too little. Guys need to contribute with fun conversations AND tips, whenever they can. Guys, when you go to a room GREET the model! Start a conversation. Girls, when you have a room that is contributing tip and conversation wise, interact back and give them what they deserve!
This is not a pity party, nor a bitch fest. Yes, I?m sure some guys will get ticked off by this ?open letter?, for their own reasons, but overall, it?s just a simple call to attention to get you guys to work WITH us models. I don?t expect guys to spend money they don?t have. I don?t expect guys to go bankrupt for me. I don?t expect anything other than what you CAN afford or CAN do! I don?t expect you to tip if you can?t, but I would expect you to contribute to the conversation, or start one, if you?re going to be sitting in my room! I?m not looking for sympathy or ?oh poor you?? bologna. I am doing alright. I am hitting my goals. I am still ok. I appreciate the days I have the big tippers who tip my whole countdown, I appreciate the days that guys work together to tip through the countdowns. I am in no way complaining or begging for anything. However, the silence that has taken over is deafening and the level of freeloading that has become this epidemic is beyond frustrating! For ALL models! I don?t expect to be handed my daily goal and walk out the door in an hour without doing any work, but I also expect my room to respect that at the end of the day, this is my job. Full time. 9-5, often days longer, 5 to 6 days a week. I don?t get paid on a salary. I don?t get an hourly wage. I depend on all of you guys. We all work to get paid, and this freeloading bullshit has to stop! Let?s pull ourselves together and work together as a team once more! It?ll benefit us all, I guarantee it!
I love you all, and I wouldn?t be here without you all? Please think about what I have said. ❤️
xoxo,
Lauran

Congrats to the winners!

So i am guessing her monthly income of probably 25k has been reduced to 22k and she's mad at the users?

[Why]

so she isnt happy that people are watching her "free" cam on "my free cams"

aint that a bitch!

[Mutt]

Cam chatrooms are some of the awkwardest assemblages of humans ever to come together. I don't get the guys who log in with their nicknames and just lurk and jerk when you don't have to log in to watch.

Watching one of those rooms right now, hot black Colombian chick, nobody's talking and she's not doing anything. I'm hoping some tippers get here soon!

I am so not reading that.

Not sure what the call to action is... You have five cams do full hardcore all the time and five hotties doing the other stuff. She probably has peaked and is getting bitter. It sucks but what can you do?

[NatalieMojoHost]

cool idea with Star Wars on her profile
