Some of us are still unsure what the main difference between porn sites and adult cam sites is. Porn sites can be described as a constantly updating collection of adult movies and videos. Cam sites are totally different in the way that they are the meeting point between a seller (streamer) and a subscriber—the person who pays to watch the live stream on offer. For providing this service, the site may charge both the model and the subscriber a commission.
There may be a registration fee to ensure that only serious people join the website. Both of these platforms make serious money by advertising other platforms or production houses on their websites. The money earned from this advertising is likely to be substantial as such sites tend to see huge amounts of traffic every minute.
The registration fee also goes for porn sites, especially the exclusive and premium porn websites. For some sites, the entitles the person to special content which is restricted for the people who have not paid. This facilitates all sorts of customers, meaning that there is a lot of free porn available out there. However, almost all the best adult webcam sites are paid. This must be because they feature only live shows and no recording is kept of the performance after the time of the show has elapsed. It is the exact opposite for porn sites, where every video is archived for future reference.
The contributors to porn sites and adult cam sites vary too. As discussed, models personally advertise themselves and stream on adult cam sites. This means that it is easy to start your cam show than to get featured on a porn site. For the best porn sites, the videos uploaded are professionally shot by firms specializing in porn. This leads to the existence of “brands” even inside a single porn site. These brands may upload their videos to more than one site, increasing their viewership and potentially earning.
From the point of view of models, there is more earning in porn than camming. More people find porn a better pastime than watching cam shows because of the variety available. Therefore, shooting porn is a long-term revenue point for models as they tend to earn royalties even after retiring. It may be argued that there is more fame and popularity in porn too. As far as camming is concerned, the only revenue that models make is from tips and these are not in large amounts for the less popular models. Also, once the live show has ended, the revenue stream dries up.
All their differences apart, the two platforms still perform one job. In the online world, there is a wide choice of adult cam sites and porn sites. Owners of these sites make millions of dollars and we know that this industry is only going to increase in size with time. Therefore, it’s best to try out both of these before you stick to one favourite.
