Free-Loaders - How to spot them - and how to exterminate them!



Today I want to talk about free-loaders. You will have probably heard Me use this term very often. And for those of you who don't understand what a free-loaders is; you're about to receive some education.

A free-loader who is somebody who seeks your attention or a cam show, but has no intention of paying for it. They've probably exhausted every free-porn site on the net and now want a taste of a live show...but expect it for free. They haven't had to pay for their porn before, so why should they pay for it now, live or not?

Let’s face it – free-loaders are scum. They are leeches who plague Dommes and camgirls because in their warped imagination; they feel we OWE it to them to give them free attention. We are just a stranger on a webcam and because of that they feel they shouldn’t have to pay for our time. Hell, we only exist so they can get their rocks off, right? Without them, we wouldn’t even be on cam…WRONG!

The fact is, we don’t need the attention of free-loaders.  And it seriously is messed up thinking that they expect us to help them “cum” or live out their sexual fantasies for nothing. It’s not going to happen.  They are simply stealing our time and our attention and taking advantage at the same time.
Seriously, would you go into a restaurant; have a slap-up 4 course meal, and say “yeah, I feel satisfied now, but don’t bother sending me the bill. I’m having this for nothing!”? No of course you wouldn’t. And would you take your car into the garage, have it serviced and then say “yeah this is on the house – you need to service my car. I don’t need you!” Nope, that wouldn’t happen either.

The restaurant and the garage amount to the same – they are providing a service. So are we. And because we are providing a service; we expect to be PAID for it. It’s not about demanding you give us money because you owe us. It’s about the fact that we are giving you one on one attention, taking time out of our day to speak to you, performing on webcam for you, as SERVICE – not out of the goodness of our hearts. Yeah, some of us may be as sweet as sugar – but we’re not stupid and you’re not a charity case.

Day in, day out I encounter freeloaders – mostly on AdultWork  Direct Cam. Yes, I could choose not to use the free preview option – but in all honesty, if it wasn't for the freeloaders – it would be a nifty little marketing tool. Sometimes I’ll offer free preview throughout my entire shift, sometimes I’ll offer it for a limited time – just to whet their appetite.  But I won’t EVER give them a full cam show for free.

The thing is; most free-loaders are subtle about it. But not so subtle that I don’t know what they’re up to. The ones who hang around in free preview asking endless questions..yeah, they’re stealing your attention away from those who are happy to pay for your time. The ones who claim they will go private if you stand up, show your feet,  or any other part of your body – yeah right, I’ve heard THAT one before. Try before you buy – not in My cam room.

And then there are those who are blatant – and yes I have had a few of these. I had one recently, who gave the game away by asking; “what do you do in free?” Now this speaks volumes. Translated it means  “I’m a free-loader. I’m not going to pay – but you’re going to give me what I want in free preview..”  No, I’m not. And with that, like every other free-loader – he was kicked out. And even though it’s a six week block via Adultwork, I shall remember him – and keep kicking him out until he gets the message and stops trying.

Free-loaders find themselves in for a big disappointment when they try it on with Me. I don’t give anything away. No teasing flashes of feet, no Skype address, no kik usernames, no explicit chat – NOTHING until they have paid. If they send gifts, they don’t get ANYTHING until gift is received (yes, free-loaders like to cancel gifts as well). In fact, if they’re unknown to Me, they tribute via gift certificate until they have proven themselves trustworthy. No tribute – no attention. This is also why I only take Amazon GC as tribute. I don’t take Paypal, not just because Paypal  doesn’t allow it but because payments can be reversed or cancelled.

I also apply the same approach with emails. I have a 3 email rule – they will get a response to 3 emails and no more. After that; they are expected to tribute. No tribute means no more emails to them. This applies to both My personal email address and the AdultWork/NiteFlirt email system. Just think about it – while you’re sending emails to them; they’re stealing your time and attention and probably getting a free wank in the process.

The trick is to be vigilant. Don’t give it away – give an inch and they will take a yard.  And trust your gut. If you instincts tell you “okay, this guy is after a freebie” get rid of them. Don’t allow them to steal your attention away from those who are paying for you time. If they claim they have “sent tribute” double check. If they tip in Direct Cam – verify they have tipped before doing a show. Yes, that is a popular scam as well – fake tips. If they attempt to chat with you on Skype – remind them at once that they must pay tribute. Then don’t engage in any further conversation with them until they have made that tribute If they don’t  tribute; get rid of them – those who are genuine will be only too happy to tribute. Those who come up with excuse after excuse, or try the old “delay tactics” have no intention of paying. Yes, I’m referring to those who attempt to chat after you have told them to make a tribute – they aren’t going to pay – so you aren’t going to talk to them.

Oh and those on twitter who ask you to follow them – they’re free-loaders. (And more often than not; are the twitter "egg".)  A genuine sub knows that to be granted the honour of a follow; he has to tribute. Same goes for those who send you a DM when you have specifically told them to email you – they ignore your demand and continue to message you. Yeah – ignore them – they don’t want to tribute either.


Be smart; be up front and tell them straight – you want it, you pay for it. And STICK to it. Don’t be swayed by promises, offers or even threats (yes, I’ve been threatened with bad feedback by a free-loader! Like him, his threat meant nothing.)  It’s YOUR cam room or cam business at the end of the day. And it’s YOUR rules.  If they can’t follow them, then they have no business approaching you.
