Year's end - a chance for reflection and contemplation of the future. Mostly I find the opportunity to post a look at the shows with this eye too good to miss.
I wanted to pose the question of this thread because circumstances seem to have made it, more than ever,
the fundamental one for the shows in 2018. There are undoubtedly as many answers to it as there are viewers of the shows but for me there's only one that offers the chance of real channel redemption -
66's second camera web-only feeds... So, I hope forumites will bear with me in such an extended post (
) as I offer a thorough argument as possible for why I think this device could be so beneficial to the industry and, in doing so, hopefully re-ignite a conversation so far largely confined itself to Fern's thread.
I've been here
before ... This time, however, it's as if 66 are attempting to be more progressive. Likely this is simply because its use has now breached daytime hours and, as happened with Evelyn on perv before it, they have given the equipment to a babe that has both the draw and top skills in how to work it.
Over just four recent sessions Fern's owning of the new angle has been a revelation. As I say she's not the first to benefit from an added camera; nor is she the only one to cause a stir with it on here. Fern was not even the first 66 day babe to flash her undercarriage via this method
... She is however the first, by my measure, to show what a positive influence it could be for an industry suffering under chronically bad public image, and no little doubt and scrutiny from clientele past and present over the VFM offered by its services.
These problems didn't appear so pervasive in the heady pre-Ofcom days. The channels were generally viewed a little more generously back then, with a more prevalent goodwill, since eroded by constant, nagging regulation and a most divisive change in babeshow culture. The latter translates to a now severely lacking entertainment factor on our TV screens. Today, the average babe's desire and capacity to reach out beyond those directly on the other end of her wire (phone or net) is unfortunately limited. The focus is almost entirely on wringing every last penny from a dwindling band of hardcore supporters (guys that might be characterised as very generously disposed towards the babes if we are being kind)...
Insiders with clout must've looked at much in a search for efficient ways to counter this issue. I believe 66 could have struck gold again with this particular answer. If only they can make this Ofcom-free camera of Fernie's a more standardised affair, it could offer a solid avenue for the channels to rehabilitate their main service in the eyes of a certain somewhat lapsed but still avid section of their consumer base. This thing could end up being and meaning much more than the sobriquet 'Asscam' might suggest!
Why such a positive force?

^ Most assuredly it is for all Fernie fans! There's no doubt about it, Fern has shown the way. She has added a surreptitious spice to what could otherwise just be another routine body flashing outlet by expressing a heightened, TV-hidden, sensuality in her performance. But is that all that lies behind comments like jaw's? I believe guys are actually responding to the realisation that cam two forgoes the duplicity imposed by the regulators on the butchered feeds... This is how opinions are changed; the service all at once feels more honest. The babe has to pretend and is distanced by Sky; cam two indulges the viewer pulling them conspiratorially back into the real deal.
I think jaw's positivity strikes a gong for the devices potential. But, in reality cam two could only truly be said to be any kind of "best development" if 66 and their babes have the integrity to establish a similar feed alongside every host's main camera. If they wish to charge web subscription rates for these feeds then fine - so be it. If that's what it takes to make such a service financially viable then I feel enough guys will accept an hourly/daily/weekly sub, or some such, for what would be a vastly more enticing service. It'd certainly be more justifiable to many than the, IMO, sky high pervcam rates...
Implementation across the board would, for once, show that an operator really accepts what the day shows are about; a definitive acknowledgement that
the draw lies in the visual - even away from the crotch obsessed cams. (Really,
enough with the faux sensitivities towards what guys get up to on the phones as expressed by a couple of babes recently, they should be strictly for Ofcom; any attempt to spread them beyond is just counter-productive to the mass audience that must be essential to an industry gradually drifting towards an ever more internet-based environment.)
Any sort of mixed message just makes the industry appear conflicted. A front and centre cam two would free it of any misconceptions in the eyes of valuable punters.
Can we be sure of the basics of what guys want?
Quote:...sex invariably motivates calls to the day shows, even if it doesn’t manifest itself in the actual conversation.
^ I know the old standby babetv.tumblr blog isn't evidence but I've yet to see anyone challenge these basic tenants. Yes, guys undoubtedly express a variety of fetishes and needs when they contact the babes but anyone who doubts what
really underlies a guy phoning a babechannel should read
further. With such foundations can the punters distilled primal desires towards further flesh exposure or at least a greater visual expression of sexuality really ever be that far away? Whether guys tell their babe(s) the truth about this when they converse or not, 99% of them want to see more if they can get it. (Ask yourself how many of the babe's daytime callers would at least flick between Sky and pervcam image on their TVs if the latter was up there in HD for the price of their call?)
Overall I just can't see a better counter to the industry's image problems than a VFM visual option slotted in between fta TV and the down and dirty intimacies of pervcam. It would be a satisfying reversion to elements of the former business module while remaining in keeping with the aims of the modern format. The best of both worlds... And there's nothing better in pursuit of mass appreciation and interaction than giving guys
something of what they want!
Other benefits
Besides, more practically speaking, the quite deliberate playing down of the fta shows' eroticism to aid pervcam has been so effective as to ensure that there is now room for such a 'middle-ground' content platform - why not make use of it?
Then too we have the broader context: As I was saying in a recent
post, come April AgeID will add to the barriers against interaction online. It makes more sense than ever right now to give guys an extra reason to sign up. (More immediately for 66, there is also the matter of BS's partly fta web channels to be kept up with.) ...
Just one problem!
I will be interested to see if Fernie's second angle becomes an ascribed feature within 66's schedule or advertising going forward. More significantly I am keen to see whether other babes note and act on its potential. (Cara B's more straightforward, if cameraman assisted, Asscam on snow day has been the only other taker since Fern. Interestingly her pervcam was running at the same time.) Only then will we be able to determine if the idea has really taken hold.
Alas I fear a far likelier result will be a more tentative action: 66 trying to have their cake and eat it when they should be grasping the nettle as they did with the pervs. I expect only odd spells of second camera from anyone except Fern - where and only if a babe is proving particularly quiet on her pervcam. If the expected babe resistance to anything more is correct, it's still odds on to be the 'new' device's effective nail in the coffin.
The stumbling block has already been made clear - with some appealing honesty.

Making each and every view another paid stat should go at least part way to answering the potential impact on pervcam revenue. Perv and cam two shouldn't be
naturally incompatible either; in fact if the appeal and presentation are correct I can't see any reason why they shouldn't work in simpatico: A little careful positioning, tease, and the rationing of better angles, and cam two could be made advantageous to everyone by ensuring that pervecam custom is not affected. More than that, babes need viewers on their streams; and this can bring them in numbers, in the best stepping-stone manner, to the very door of perv... But then maybe it's just the larger implications on content and the extra effort implied by this change that are giving most babes pause atm?
I hope I'm proved wrong and 66 really give us guys something to root for again with this. When all's said and done, there are two ways to make money - a few paying a premium or the masses spending a little. Now more than ever the channels need to broaden their horizons and incentivise all the people they can. Alongside the more obvious propositions like proper web-based 2-4-1s, new initiatives like this one and the positive encouragement of more babes to use them well will, I hope, see a new source of real viewer engagement and a refreshed energetic vibe returning to places like this. An enhanced viewing experience at the correct price point could
really go a long way.
It's worth remembering too that pervcam itself was, apparently, viewed with degrees of trepidation and suspicion by some babes when it was starting out - that is until one or two of them really began to succeed with it. Now who's to say this one wouldn't go the same way again given half a chance?
