The thing with the cam sites is the amount of bandwidth it takes to run these, and the resources just costs so much. The billing side is all messed up, and you have to have a way to get money to the camgirls, and then have ways for lots of people to spend small amounts of money and keep all the transactions as secretive as you can. It's like major work arounds. If you built one as a legit site (as any other site would be built), the question becomes, would it be sustainable?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Interesting :D
I know a camgirl, who told me their UIs were pretty shitty and if I couldn't build a competitor to chaturbate or manycams, haha.
But building a streaming service is hard enough without the "customers" being so secretive about their work practices xD
