Chaturbate Changes Some Grey Free Account Viewers Ability To Chat

We've recently shared that many Chaturbate viewers were required to go through age verification processes to access the camsite.  Chaturbate also made a change involving grey free account viewers who use VPN's or proxy servers.  Some of these viewers will no longer be able chat in attempt to better control spamming & the associated trolling. Below is a screen shot telling the viewer that in order to chat they'll need disable their VPN, proxy server, or upgrade their account (purchase tokens)...

Chaturbate Sued Over Texas Age Verification Law (Updated & Reposted 03/30/24)

The State of Texas Attorney General is suing Chaturbate for non-compliance with the states new age verification laws.  The lawsuit claims Chaturbate isn't doing enough to stop minors from viewing adult content.  The lawsuit is asking for $1.78 million as well as $10k a day for every day after the lawsuits filing.

It makes me wonder what changes Chaturbate will have to make to become compliant with this law or might the camsite block access within Texas?  This has happened with other porn sites already rather than changing to become compliant in states with laws similar to Texas.  Could this force Chaturbate to change their account creation process as it pertains to free accounts (grey)?  Interesting times ahead...

State of Texas sues Chaturbate and XHamster over age verification law.

Absolutely disgusting! Shame on the state of Texas for wasting tax payer dollars when they know there is a pending constitutional challenge.https://t.co/FXKwBcmoax

*Update...

Chaturbate has made some changes for viewers who access the camsite from the state of Texas in order to comply with the states age verification law.  Any viewer who is in the state of Texas will need to have their age verified in one of two ways.  Both of these ways are found on Chaturbate's Texas age verification page.  Once a viewer is verified they won't be asked to do this during each login.  Keep in mind this is the same for all types of accounts, ones with tokens & greys who haven't purchased tokens.  In order to access Chaturbate in Virginia & Utah verification is now required.

*Court of Appeals Update...

An appeals court denied a request to put the law on hold while the entities appealing it reach out to the Supreme Court asking them to review the laws constitutionality.

What Country Has The Most Chaturbate Camguys? Here Are The Top 10!

Have you ever wondered which countries have the most camguys registered to stream on Chaturbate?  CB Explorer has a map tab that shows this information based on the country the camguy is from.  I do believe there are some discrepancies especially in the CIS countries such as Russia & Latvia.  Which countries do you think rank in the top 10 for having the most verified camguys?

I'm not sure how they came up with these numbers, now you'd think it would be based on where the camguy is from.  However I do think there are flaws in their data mining with there being only 507 combined Russian models verified m/f/c/t).  I found one such example as camguy 'khokhol1999' who is from Russia appears as the #3 most followed camguy from the United States when clicking on the country link.

If you go to the CB Explorer page & click on 'map' you will be able to sort out the top 10 camguys.  Down further, the alphabetized list (despite being labeled as your search category) is the combined total model count (male/female/couple/trans).  It's still kind of interesting to look at even if the counts aren't 100% accurate.

Website Recording Chaturbate Shows Seized

Chaturbate has taken legal action against a website that had been recording shows off their camsite for years.  The website recurbate.com was seized by Chaturbate as were two other related websites owned by an individual in Thailand.  The message below is what appears on the offending websites URL...

This is just one website that has been recording models shows off Chaturbate.  Doing a search will show many similar sites like the ones below (not a complete list) with many of them offering 'premium' options of some sort for a payment...

Recordbate, Cloudbate, Peachurbate, New-Archiver, RecorderCB, Gvideos, CamWhores, ArchiveBate, Rarecord, etc.

Stopping Online Models From 'Poaching Viewers' On Chaturbate

Chaturbate camguys regularly see other models who are online on the camsite in their chat rooms observing the show, chatting, or trying to poach their viewers.  If an online model is doing one of the first two I don't have a problem, but the latter is a situation I feel we all have a problem with.  We see poachers all too often advertising their rooms but what can be done about it?  Moderators need to immediately silence promoters of all types but there is another solution to keep online models from poaching.  Below is a screen shot from a camguys settings area showing the options available to keep online models from even thinking about poaching viewers.  The second selection "Yes, only if they're broadcasting now" is the one most camguys would want to choose...

We all know there are sneaky ways an online model can attempt to poach viewers, in those instances a moderator needs to silence them or the camguy can just kick them.

Chaturbate Camguy Statistics From CB Explorer

On Saturday evening CamGuyNews will be sharing Chaturbate's Daily Most Popular Camguys from September 9 - 10 (7 p.m. - 7 p.m.).  I've noticed & have been asked why several of the best drawing camguys during these 24 hours periods aren't appearing in the lists from 'cbexplorer.com'.  CamGuyNews reached out to the website & was told "could be they don't have third party access enabled."  

This means camguys who don't enable this option aren't appearing on any Chaturbate affiliate camsites so sites like CB Explorer won't have statistics on them.  Not selecting this option will also limit viewers & tippers to only those who signed up directly on the Chaturbate website.  Chaturbate directly handles all customer sign-ups, payment info, camguy verifications, pay-outs, & customer service on their affiliate camsites.

A site called "webcamstats.com" is another site that tracks statistics on camguys who broadcast on Chaturbate.

Strange Situation Sunday on Chaturbate

During new camguy 'sassyd420' show Sunday afternoon on Chaturbate an interesting situation occurred several times involving a Juvenile Troll moderator.  I have seen this same situation occur before but only involving a Juvenile Troll moderator & never any other viewer on Chaturbate.  Juvenile Troll moderator 'xxjoe_williams' silenced a few viewers in the chat room but wasn't even in the chat room when this took place.  There were 2 other moderators there at the time including Juvenile Troll 'monkey2monkey2' who was banned by Chaturbate as 'monkey2monkey1' recently.

The silencing's that took place were unjust but that is beside the point as I've received word Chaturbate is reviewing this situation & that they are taking it seriously.  I have several screen shots of the silencing's & the 'refreshed' viewer list when this took place showing the time at the bottom right in each screen shot...

The other times that I've seen this occur have involved now banned grey Juvenile Troll users 'khaleesi_heart_222' & 'khalessi_heart_222'.  Other viewers have told CGN that they have seen this strange situation occur involving other Juvenile Trolls too, but not with other non-troll viewers in the past.

Recording of Webcam Shows & How it Effects Performers

A big problem for webcam performers is having their shows recorded & placed on the internet on one of the free tube sites.  This can lead to members not tipping during live shows, loss of private shows, loss of content site subscriptions, but more importantly it takes away a performers privacy which has lead some performers to quit camming.  It actually goes beyond the free tube sites as many of these "websites" attempt to charge monthly membership fees to view these pirated shows, more on these shortly.

x

For many of us this practice is nothing new as it has been going on for years & performers that we know have been caught up in this.  Several years back one of my favorite camguys actually quit performing on webcam due to this.  He blocked a few regions from viewing his broadcasts so his family & friends could not see him but when Chaturbate did nothing about these recordings he felt he had no other option than to quit.  It is likely that most performers aren't even aware of this practice & their responses sure would be interesting if they were to find out Chaturbate is (other camsites too) allowing this to happen.

By now we are all aware of Chaturbate's troll issue & we are seeing them falsely claim certain members are recording a camguys shows (usually newer camguys).  Once the camguy hears this it has lead to members being banned from chat rooms & even the camsite (CGN Article).  Camguys are obviously pissed off when they think a certain member is doing this & Chaturbate is banning members who are falsely accused but yet they allow these websites to sell their pirated content.  Do you see anything wrong here?

The websites above are only a few of the hundreds that came up when doing an online search.  Some of the links are directed to a particular camguy or male performer page to show what can be found.  What I find to be disturbing is that most of these websites are 'affiliates' of Chaturbate or other popular camsites.  When a visitor to one of these websites clicks on a camsite link/icon & signs up the camsite will then pay the website a sign-up fee or a percentage of whatever that person spends on the camsite.  However, recording videos & offering them for sale isn't part of the affiliate deal & none of the camsites are doing a thing about this.  So for the performer who thinks their privacy is being protected by their camsite, think again.
