Stupid as this sounds, it's a good indicator that people have less play money. A contraction in the porn market eventually spills over into groceries and utilities, not to mention rent and mortgage payments. Invest in pawn shops my friends, and repo companies, jdugement day is upon us.

I have studios on 20 different cam sites with a few 1000 models working.

Average hourly take by a model has gone from $58/hour in December to hovering around $43 now.

Camgirl income is seasonal, on top of economic factors.  It can fluctuate up to 40% within a one month time frame in some cases.  Seasonal peaks are as follows:

* Holiday Season - Late November to early January.  This is the high point of the year.  You can easily hide your camgirl spending among your other holiday spending.  Then, generosity slumps rapidly until...
* Spring Fever - Grass is green, dudes get horny, tax return checks are in the bank.  This is generally late April to early May.
* Summer - This is not a peak, but the lowest ebb in the cycle.  Good family men are out with their wife and kids.  No money for you, camgirl!
* Back to School - Kids are back to school, wife is banging her boyfriend.  Time to unleash all that pent up frustration.  This is a sizeable spike around early September and fades rapidly.
* This brings us back to Holiday Season.

Now, there are indicators for the overall trend for inflation and such, but without accounting for seasonal factors, you're not getting any kind of accurate picture.

I really, really miss stimmy checks, BTW.
