Adult content creators say ImLive’s practices are secretive and unfair
One sex worker says ImLive and other contract sites are the ‘Wild West’ of adult content.

On April 17, webcam model CammiCams saw a tweet that made her blood boil. ImLive, the site where she’d been camming for two years, indicated it was offering Fox sportscaster Joe Buck $1 million to announce its cam shows live.
At the time, Cammi, who’s from California and over 35, made the majority of her income on ImLive, a live camming site that takes up to 80% of the revenue performers generate (in comparison, most adult cam and clip sites take around 40%). ImLive’s offer of $1 million to a sportscaster during the coronavirus pandemic—money Cammi says the platform could have spent on supporting its performers during a time of financial hardship—struck Cammi as insensitive and unfair. Though Buck ultimately turned down ImLive’s offer, Cammi tweeted her concerns the next day:
“Let’s take a look at where this money is coming from,” she wrote. “ImLive needs to take care of their models and pay them more than 20%, 30% or 35%…now more than ever! I’m glad [Buck] turned it down. So now ImLive might give this million dollars back to their models.”
The email dismissing her, which she shared with the Daily Dot, read, “It has come to our attention that you have continued to post negative statements regarding ImLive.com on social media. As such, ImLive.com has decided to end its association with you forthwith.”
Cammi insists that her tweets weren’t negative statements about ImLive. Rather, she was “asking them to pay their models more instead of wanting to give millions to millionaires like Joe Buck,” she says. Cammi adds that she reached out to her model representative at ImLive to express her concerns and got no response for a day before tweeting.
ImLive’s VP of business and public relations, Adrian Stoneman, tells the Daily Dot, “Unfortunately we do not comment on individual cases or discuss accounts held on ImLive.”
