I know that, but there are still many RLC exclusive.

RLC wants you to give VHTV a try and VHTV still offers up free cams. RLC, VHTV and camarads are for the shits but whose shit is better? Toss up.

So let me rephrase your proposal : you want that paying people, the ones that makes the website works, cancel their account so that the leeches can still enjoy something they don't pay for ?

IN WHAT KIND OF FUCKING FANTASY WORLD DO YOU LIVE ?

And what is that BS argument about "ur collective action can send a strong message that we expect fair access to the service before being asked to pay."

You are not sure you want to subscribe, then don't. 

Stop trying to dress that ugly bride pretty. You're a leech.

This isn’t about getting free access, it’s about transparency. The site used to offer previews so people could evaluate the service before subscribing. Now, everything is locked behind a paywall, making it a blind purchase. If you’re fine with that, that’s your choice but calling out bad business practices and decisions isn’t being a “leech.” It’s about holding the service accountable to its users, both current and potential.

I think "no free cams" will be short lived again. They try to show who is boss. In reality they need at least free cams to advertise and sell their product. Allowing images to be posted would even help advertising their site but stupidity gets in their way. Give it time and some alternating free cams will come back. Seen this happen a few times already. Marketing is not their specialty just like picking tenants.

A boycott? WTF...so people can watch for free?  People who do not sub just need to stop going to the website...period.  RLC will find out what a dumb idea this is soon enough. 

As I mentioned earlier, if you can't see what you're buying, then you're not going to sub.  RLC clearly is trying to force people to sub and...I think they are trying to play hide the weenie with their shit content.  They have lost control of what these sub par participants are willing to do...Jessie.  Harley will do fuck all except fill the couch and the rest will do nothing except pose. 

Noldus puts out statistics for RLC every month.  It measures traffic...not subs.  If the traffic drops of because guys are not going there to look at the freecams, then I guess we will have a pretty good idea of what their actual "subscription traffic" looks like.

STOP GOING THERE IF YOU DO NOT SUB.

Thanks for that.  It makes sense now.  I always questioned why Princess Leo was in the top 5 or 6 cameras, it's because her apartment always had free cams.

I will reiterate what I responded to the other guy who answered in the same kind of way. This isn’t about getting free access, it’s about transparency. The site used to offer previews and permanently free cams so people could evaluate the service before subscribing. Now, everything is locked behind a paywall, making it a blind purchase. If you’re fine with that, that’s your choice but calling out bad business practices and decisions isn’t wanting a free service. It’s about holding the service accountable to its users, both current and potential. So if you don't understand the point, I am sorry.

a lot of us old subscribers will keep a watch on the free cams and even the blurry ones to see if there is anything worth resubing for ,I know that has been what I have been doing for awhile have resubed many times because of something I seen for free

Either I misunderstand what you have said, or you have misunderstood the ability to watch the freecams and TN's which they have done away with. Instead, when you go to the RLC page the background is darkened and a white box appears to either sign in or register and sub. You are not able to view any freecams or TN's anymore from what I can see before I sign in.

It's not that we don't understand your point, it's the fact that it's a stupid point, and that you are full of shit. 

Either they are right, and that's a good business decision, and your opinion weight nothing.

Or that's a stupid decision and time will make them change it and so you have to wait it out.

Grow up, kid, and stop throwing tantrums because you're frustrated by something.

As a freeloader myself, what you're saying makes no sense. Yes, this change is bad for us, freeloaders, and might decrease the number of new subscribers, but it has absolutely no effect on existing subscribers. Why should they stop their subscription? This is a legitimate business decision by RLC, whether it's good or bad for their business.
