I was trying to avoid this kind of analysis of an individual's motivations (as it has gotten me into hot water on here before! ). Instead, I was just trying to outline why it is the babe's responsibility to be honest with herself initially about what she is getting into on cam.
But as you brought it up : I agree that it is the language of Macy's tweet that is... interesting shall we say. It does seem that her aim is to abdicate all sense of responsibility from herself and to attempt to shame the individual(s) involved into changing their dodgy ways.
The reference to income (it's rare for a babe to mention this publicy unless they have been challenged on it in some way) and the passive aggressive threat of less "effort" are both intended to raise the stakes above the normal response to such things. She is trying to make out that she is not all about what she can get - when all previous evidence has indicated an almost complete compitulation to money-making from her on cam. (She started out, if you remember, telling all-comers that she would never even flash a nipple.)
I think Macy's real regret here is that she thought she was judging her guys' characters from whatever connection she had with them, when she was actually being deceived by dazzling pound signs into doing the dirty deeds. She's going through a kind of earner's remorse and intent on not blaming herself. The promises not to go there again may even be as much to try and convince herself on the matter as they are aimed at the guys behind the uploads.
More eloquently put than I - thank you.
I think the challenge for a lot of the channel girls is that times are changing. With the channels having to chase the webcam market to remain in business, the ladies are running into the pros of MFC and Chatterbate that operate a very different model whereby they rely much more on tips for a top quality free show.
The girls on MFC will spend time in free chat naked/open legged and now using that tip operated toy that vibrates (genius idea whoever came up with that one) just milking tips. Babeshow girls sit permanently behind a paywall and ask us to take a chance that they will do something or that they are even there (I'm sure a lot of us have logged on to an empty bed more than once).
TV does in some sense advertise what may be going on but is in itself a limitation on what they do on pervcam; they don't interact with pervcam when on TV, and when behind the curtain or at home we're back to taking a chance with our hard earned.
I'm sure some of the girls are uncomfortable with their cams being leaked but there is an inexorable move towards more explicit cams by the channels that they will have to adjust to or find other employment. Pirating wont stop so there is little point raging against that with emotive language.
One of the funniest, and most apt moments came when watching an Alice Goodwin camshow, where between calls she just sang to herself "showing my pussy for money" - quite so
