Ofcom put these rules and regulations into place, but the shows' producers will happily kowtow to them while fanboys continue to jam their switchboards.
This pisses me off. Freeloaders complaining about the people who pay for the shows they're freeloading on. And, before anyone starts hyperventilating, this is not the same thing as 'are non-callers allowed to criticise the shows'. This is a free country and people are entitled to spend their spare cash how they choose, as long as it's legal.
If, in your opinion, some sort of boycot is called for then, fair enough. But you need a more persuasive argument than just calling people names. No politician ever won a vote by just standing up and saying "Anyone who votes for the other side is a cunt, goodnight".
Whether we like it or not, the whole babeshow thing has evolved and moved on. Ofcom may have been the catalyst for this but I doubt there would be a significant change now if Ofcom disappeared tomorrow.
The channels do not now solely depend on tv revenue and probably have a balancing act between the tv content and webcam service (the harder the tv content, the lower the demand for the webcam service)
The fact that the channels are still here at all, after the worst recession since god knows when, must mean the majority of current callers are happy with the service otherwise why, as a whole, would you pay for a service you weren't happy with?
This could be for a number of reasons - yes there will be 'fanboys' who will call their favorite girls, no matter what. But, again, it's a free country and that's their choice.
The guys who want harder viewing (and are prepared to put their money where their mouth is) will already have migrated to the webcams.
There will always be the random drunks, married guys who get off on calling and can't risk using the family computer and the shy guys who only want to listen (
do not underestimate their numbers).
But, I suspect the biggest slice of current callers will not even know what the shows were like in their heyday, so don't know any different.
That's not to say things couldn't be improved. Alot of valid comments are made about sets, camera work, individual babes etc but, as far as turning the clock back goes, maybe some people need to accept that, in the big wide world outside this cosy little forum, they might actually be in the minority.
