MFC launched in 2004, I remember it and had memeber account to spy like I made for all the cam sites (including the most failed ones) and it was classified as small site with uncertain future, together with other 50-100 ones. That classification kept for 4 years until in 2008 it started to pick up, then 2009-2010 exponentially grow until now it has sort of world domination, and without affiliates except few invite only and only recently, crakcash. But people forget it was a loser website no one model or member cared of, for the first 3-4 years after the launch? Main biz of Leo was myfreepaysite
The fact MFC it looks as 1990ish geocities it is because it is a 2004 site who made unexpected big success in 2008 then it was updated without change too much what it seems to work - which make sense.

Affiliates are super-caring how landing pages and layouts look like, but in cams this have little or no relevance. If there are many good girls the guy care of, they will chat them even in a ridiculosly 1990 buggy site, as they care the specific girl and not the site or interface to reach them. So often it was launched super cam software with super web design then it looked so good and sci-fi that no any model or member sticked and it collapsed nicely.

Said so, after let's say 2008, basically no any really new cam site from really new people it could be launched so it does not fails completely or simply keeps too small to be relevant (jasmin, streamate etc. all are 2005 or before - like mfc is 2004). In some gfy threads it was discussed you need half million or a million dollar to properly launch a new cam site now (it was easier in 2005 - like it was to launcha facebook after all, but we're in 2012). This still does not mean whoever invests a million dollar will succeed, it can be a nice waste.

Anyway in 2011 Chaturbate it launched with (in my opinion) correct mfc-cam4 concept merge, they invested (sure was a loss) in $1 per free launch until reached organic alexa #1800+ rank, then switch mostly revshare as they're not santa claus yet. Now the affiliates (who liked $1 offer) less care to Chaturbate and wonder what's next. Affiliates who never cared to chaturbate are the ones who have more targeted cam traffic so they do well in revshare with the old usual big programs, or even smaller new ones who still pay revshare (but some failed without pay, see drama threads and nonpayers page of freeones).

After the above preface, so what's the next big cam sponsor?
Could be there will be not a new big one in 2012 and maybe in 2013 too, could be there will be consolidation (for example needlive was purchased by awe and now redirects to livejasmin, unsure what they made with affiliates for it); so affiliates may just look at the "previous old big cam sponsors" since these have many models online and stable - but maybe every surfer seen their popunders and im ads already 100 times so difficult to signup as its not new... and/or at some small new or small semi-new cam sites who have enough cam girls online and not looking like will collapse. You may be lucky to pick the next MFC (it may take 3-4 years anyway for any new genius site to grow even if all will go super well and they invest the million dollar) so until it is saturated you made good biz with that.
