Thoughts on Chaturbate

Random thoughts:

I like many of the models on that site, but just wish people would stop shaving their pubic hair. That is a total dealbreaker for me. A lot of the customers in the chat there seem to prefer natural boys too.
It is actually quite expensive to go private with the models, considering much porn is effectively free. The boys in studios - and most Russian models are in studios, see the Chaturbate site take 50% of their money, the studio then taking 50% of what is left, and they only get 25% of the money you give them.
It is possible to contact the boys in other ways. I correspond on Telegram with about 20 of them - my Telegram address is clearly listed on my Chaturbate profile, as well as the fact that I can speak Russian (having learnt at university). Boys not in Russia have often done Skype shows for me for PayPal payments, but that requires trust that they will actually do the show. The sanctions mean that Paypal is not available for Russia (but it is for the Ukraine), which has spoilt this avenue.
I think the days of good porn are over. The Man's Best boys were great - young, hairy bush, uncut - but poor camera angles and video quality. Early Belami was the hottest boys in the world - but with condoms and poorer video quality. Modern Belami is great video quality, but nearly all the boys are shaven/trimmed. Add to the fact that boys now don't have to have gay sex in a porn studio, but can stream from their bedrooms with no requirement to actually have sex - and you see that porn is effectively over.
You need to be careful on Chaturbate with models with high tip goals. Eg if they want 2000 tokens and get 1950, you might think they're near to a public show, but often they then say "it's time for bed", and leave without a show. If you tipped 200 early on, you would have wasted your money.
Some models promise to do things, take the money and then don't do it. One took my money and then banned me from the room. You can get the tokens refunded by Chaturbate support, but they don't like doing it and you have to be persistent. They've refunded me three times.
What is quite obvious is how dependent Chaturbate is on Russia and the Ukraine. They are the backbone of the site. And they provide the best models in terms of looks too. You can't always go on the locations given. Many Russian models are currently claiming to be in the Ukraine hoping for sympathy from Western customers. Many models listed as in Estonia and Latvia have told me in PMs they are actually in St Petersburg in Russia.

@DJ12345 I agree with most of that. I would add that a tremendous number of performers are in COLUMBIA.
I prefer pubes to be either trimmed or shaved. But pubes are not a big deal to me. What I can't stand is an asscrack thick with fur.
I don't understand why some performers do shows - such as those with 5 guys performing at once, doing explicit stuff for free.
It breaks my heart when great performers who are so nice and try so hard get very little tips.
It disgusts me when I sometimes check on video archives and see that many performers go on camera for hours per day, but don't do anything except take tips.
Worse than Chaturbate is Onlyfans. I wish Onlyfans stuck with their decision to not host porn, because the way they handle porn is a disaster.

@lololulu19 Well, some of those shows with 5 performers get tips throughout the show. They wouldn't be able to carry on otherwise. I've noticed the Colombian performers are prepared to do a lot more for a lot less than the Russians. Could be cheap living costs in Colombia? Some of the Colombian models actual have Slav sounding names, as if they are trying to poach customers from the Russians. Yes, I should have mentioned the huge Colombian contingent.
