This article looks like it has been written in 2002.
It does read like that kind of article written back then where dumb dead tree media guys wrote a bunch of "
, there's this thing called the Internet" back in the 90s.It makes a lot of sense for camwhores to make a career of it instead of becoming actual whores. There's a lot more potential for money but more importantly, like phone sex, it's safe money without dealing with degenerate, diseased, desperate Johns in person. Not to mention serial killers and the like.
It doesn't seem that much different than people who choose to be strippers or poledancers. Lonely men will give them lots of money. A good club stripper can make a very very nice living if she so chooses.
So long as these are adults who are choosing this path, I don't care. The viewers will be happy and the girls will make their money.

Sounds like a win-win to me. Hell, I'd shake my arse on camera if losers would pay me money for it and get absolutely nothing left in return.

While I can't find it in myself to say this is wrong, it still saddens me that a lot of potentially successful and intelligent young women are getting roped into this because they have no prior job experience or solid education. Once they get a taste of that money, it'll be hard to leave it behind and work minimum wage, causing them to fall right back into it.
Can't be lifelong..after 30 women don't hold up so well.
Whats it called...hitting the wall?
sucks for them

I had a friend who was a stripper. She made amazing money, but ended up spending it all on shoes and cocaine. A lot of people seem to think they will be able to do it for a few years, buy a house in cash & quit. I don't think it happens often IRL. I'm guessing camgirls have the same problem....
& men hold up so much better!

The problem is that kind of thing is actually pretty stressful. People doing it are at higher risk for drug abuse, which they start to cope with their work. Then it eventually becomes an expense they need to keep working to pay for. Like the guy who takes speed to work more, so that he can afford to buy more speed.
But all that is compounded when people go into actual sex work and have to deal with actual dangerous clients and pimps and outright criminal activity. The "easy" money is still there as a temptation, but there isn't a guy with a knife.

And escorts, and porn actresses, and so on. Their lives usually are a funny, variant and dysfunctional clusterfuck. Easy money for unstable people.
Eh. Same thing happens to athletes and models and shit.
I want to say that camwhoring sounds like a pretty low-stress occupation, but spending your entire career dealing with internet drama will probably knock a few years out of you.
I think it's a bit unfair to assume cam models are unstable.

Good for them I guess. I think it's a better option than stripping and trying to break into the porn industry, but I wonder how long of a career you can have as a camwoman? Just like any shorter term careers (like professional sports), as long as you're smart with you money, you should be pretty set. I heard of these girls making about $50-100k a year doing this, and I'm sure there are some "big-time" cam girls who make even more than that.

I can imagine it would be hard for them to change career paths when employers decide to do background checks and ask questions about what your prior occupation was.
As long as the lady is at the age of consent, of sound mind, and doing this of her own free will then fine. Her body her choice.
All of the Camgirls I know do it under assumed names, so it's not that likely to come up on a background check. You'd need some kind of story for what you were doing during that time, but given how cruddy the economy is just saying you were out of work for your camgirl-ing years would probably fly.
This kinda sucks. As others have mentioned once you are 35+ (being generous) there's not much you can do. I guess there's a small market for older women/MILFs but you gotta age kind of well and if all these young cam girls are going to be aging into it and competing I don't see that working out very well.
I have thought in the past that if you were a well paid stripper/cam girl and smart enough to save your money you could probably retire at 35 and not be bad off at all. The problem is most of these girls don't seem to be doing that.
This idea gets bandied around in /cgl/ a lot, along with selling panties and other low bar to entry prostitution-lite type schemes. Some people say it doesn't make much money, or you have to work hard to build up an audience. The other problem is I've actually seen a lot of people get doxxed. People who think they're anonymous are delusional, I've seen it so many times. In one case a girl wasn't even a cam girl or doing anything online, but she was a stripper in another town, and privately bragged about it to friends, and /cgl/got ahold of it and doxxed her and she started crying on tumblr about how her parents were going to be disappointed. Making it into a career just seems really really dumb, unless you are really earning a lot and have a retirement plan that takes into account an early retirement, then seriously, good for you.
