Another new site - Chaturbate.

I will say one thing up front, I LOVE the name of this site. Although I think it should be Chatsturbate. Basically it's like a kinda rip off of Chatroulette I think where regular people can cam, the twist is that they pay you.



Of course the REAL twist is that they don't pay you much and half of the site is ads! LOL. Here's how it works - they proclaim that they give away huge dollars:

"EASY MONEY! Each month, Chaturbate gives $11,000+ in prize money!"


Wow, you must be thinking! $11,000, that's a lot of cheddar! Well the bitch of it is, they give it out $10 at a time and to 'win' it you need to have the most visitors in your room for an hour. Yeah...so...no. You can drive a forklift at Costco with your clothes on for $19 an hour with benefits. You can squirt espresso at Starbucks and meet cute guys for $10 an hour and get free drinks.

Plus the site is brand new and hasn't got crap for traffic. I know that if you take a look at the site it seems like there are 100's of people in the rooms watching but if you use a little brain power you might be able to see through this BS. For example in the above screen cap one of the rooms is clearly labelled as an ad 'Flirt4Free' and the icon says there are 23 people watching it. Just to the left of it there are 38 people watching a bald black man eat a tv dinner, while right above that only 27 people are watching a chick finger herself. Also there's this: 199 people watching parakeets:



So, bottom line - skip it. Even if you came up with some lame idea for a game on MFC during peak hours you could bank more than $10 an hour, guaranteed.
