* Customers want, and return spending money with, such kind of models that you would have "sent to home" because "low quality" and "real problem". I used to pick models with the very same requirements you talk about now (I believe running 5+ years of whole met-art cams + part of photos operation is enough of a reference?). But, for cams I had to change ideas - that's not like photos. Believe it or not, this is a fact, and not going to try to explain it with social, psychological or other rocket science. I don't even care as it counter intuitive and against the common sense. The guys who spend the most money in cams are different from those who go with escorts or look at pictures.

* If abusive, unpolite, ugly, bad mood, boring, "low quality" model it sells, and so if it works, that's enough, just don't fix what works. Look at the top page of cam4, chaturbate etc. you may see gross stuff - and the cute girls are in second page. I would NOT spend my money as customer with any of those models you would send home, but in fact I am NOT a cam site customer (as well as you aren't one), so our very good taste makes no any effect in cam site sales.

* I make an example: Paul Markham opens a fruit shop. He decides that he likes only Red Apples because it's the highest quality fruit. Fills whole shop with Red Apples. Customers pass by and start asking Green Apples, Pears, Apricots, Peachs, Paul Markham teaches every client that Red Apples are the best and he would never sell Green Apples, Pears, Apricots, Peachs. Nearby, Mr. RealCams opens a shop with Green Apples, Pears, Apricots, Peachs, and even Red Apples too. All the clients go to Mr. RealCams. Then, Paul Markham, starts to write in forums that the future is Red Apples, and RealCams should change, because times are changing, and RealCams should stop selling Pears, Apricots, Peachs, as the future is Red Apples.

So, your question: "I used to send them home. Why don't you?"... Because we serve the customers giving (and leaving in site) what the customer wants, and not what the site manager likes more. If the customers want the models we would send home, the best business decision is to keep them, and just have a (respectful) laugh at the guys who return spending money with these girls. Believe it or not.

If you intend to run a cam company like a personal service for your own usage (not for profit), that's a different thing.
You're making the mistake that I picked models I liked, I picked the ones that sold. If they sold I put up with their BS.

If you have customers that like that kind of model and are paying by the minute for this. GREAT!!!

I looked at the top page of Chaturbate, didn't see anyone getting problems or abuse. Didn't see many girls texting either, they were talking to men who were texting. Also saw a lot more traffic on Chaturbate than Barry's site. Can't see yours from your links.

To me the customer is king, he drives my marketing thinking and with Alexa rankings it's clear what customers want.

Chaturbate 305
Myfreecams 1015
chatroulette 13,233
Imlive 4584
sexcamly 55,068

And that's what drives me. What's your site's ranking?

If I ever did run a webcam site it would be a very personal service, from the moment the surfer landed on the site. Because Nearby, Mr. RealCams opens a shop with Green Apples, Pears, Apricots, Peachs, and even Red Apples too. All the clients go to Mr. RealCams those shops have already opened opened in the cam business and customers are already shopping in them.
