LOS ANGELES — Stripchat has been named “Most-Loved Cam Site” for the second consecutive year in a survey of 700 active cam models that gathered data on their earnings and which platforms they prefer to use.

“History repeated itself this year,” enthused a Stripchat rep. “After winning this esteemed award in 2020, 2021 confirmed Stripchat remains the most-loved cam platform.”

Max Bennet, VP of Stripchat said, ”It is stunning that we’ve been able to help models earn a substantial income despite having this pandemic background chasing all of us for the past two years.”

“Our team is inspired to continue improving Stripchat for our outstanding performers, and we are elated to receive this love back from them,” Bennet continued. “We’re excited to win this award again as it makes us not only a ‘live,’ but also a ‘love’ cam platform.”

Bennet added the company follows a course set five years ago by “doing the maximum to be the most flexible, user friendly and technology-forward platform available.”

“We give our models tools not only to stream but to sell their content, create fan clubs, boost their passive income and diversify shows. Teamwork makes the dream work — we believe in it, and we stick to it,” the VP concluded.

NEW YORK — Ashley West and April Hall of The Rialto Report were recently tapped to serve as consulting producers on the Netflix docuseries, “Crime Scene: The Times Square Killer.”

Richelle Ryan tweeted, “So sad hearing the news of the passing of Joey Ray; he was my scene partner for my first shoot in the industry back in July of 2006. Rest easy.”
