Chaturbate (website) → Chaturbate – As "Chaturbate" is currently protected, this article should either be moved to Chaturbate or deleted. The Honorable (talk) 17:26, 22 August 2015 (UTC) --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 05:13, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, a quick look would suggest it would not get through AfD, because of 'press notoriety'. What is the advantage of renaming, since the word itself seems to be a neologism (its meaning being fairly self-evident) ? Pincrete (talk) 19:21, 23 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A warning should be added to the sentence about credit cards, to alert readers that Chaturbate can and do use their access to banking details through a debit card, to upgrade membership to 'supporter' without notifying the user. This takes a monthly payment of $20 from the users account which can be easily missed if they are also purchasing tokens. Silverstar48 (talk) 08:40, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: I don't see how this is encyclopedic content. In addition, to even consider having this included into the article you would need to cite reliable, published sources supporting this statement. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 15:20, 30 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Chaturbate Takes 50%

Chaturbate does not take "roughly 40%" of their broadcasters earnings. They take an exact 50%, PLUS $5USD fees for early withdrawals. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dimeless719 (talk • contribs) 05:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Tokens range from $0.10 to $0.079 depending on how many are bought, with most packages being around $0.08, and non credit card purchases such as Wires/Crypto being at a $0.08 rate. 0.05/0.08*100 = 62.5% of the earnings, therefore Chaturbate would be taking 37.5% Techfs (talk) 00:58, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's misleading to say "In addition, Chaturbate generates ...". As I understand, their revenue comes at the time the tokens are purchased (I would consider any "fee" at the time of payout to be cost of processing and administrative cost). That's roughly 50%, but would be 30% if tokens are purchased from an "affiliate" account with 20% "revshare" program. And slightly less again if more than 100 tokens are purchased at once (100tk=11$ but 1000tk=80$). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:448:C500:2200:28ED:172F:E408:A2C3 (talk) 07:01, 9 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Popular broadcasters have up to 150,000 followers and can gather more than 20,000 users simultaneously. The edit is using a , instead of . so use 150,000 and 20,000 instead of 150.000 and 20.000 WireByte (talk) 03:24, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: Since the source was not reliable, as it was a user-generated review, I have removed the section completely. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 03:50, 17 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can someone please change the official website from www.chaturbate.com to www.chaturbateme.com because we are are in the middle of switching everything to that domain. Nickanselmo89 (talk) 03:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The new link hides a redirect to chaturbate.com with a referral code. Morbidthoughts (talk) 05:58, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yep this is just affiliate spam, it's why the page is protected... Techfs (talk) 06:59, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for adequate description of the site

Suggestion to replace:

"The gender-specific categories are free to watch but viewers have to pay to join a private show"

with

"The PUBLIC LIVE PERFORMANCES OF THE STREAMERS, DIVIDED IN gender-specific categories, are free to watch but viewers have to pay to join a private show"

(The words in capital letters highlight the added text)

Opinion is that the actually description is excessively partial

Ok, Wikipedia's article isn't an advertise of Chaturbate, but it SEEMS (opinion) inaccurate at the moment.

Why? Because PUBLIC performances are free, privates aren't. Not only the visualization of the category is free.

The site offers streaming, not category dividing. 31.158.9.66 (talk) 03:09, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion for website description.

Description "Pornographic Website" is misleading. A better description would be "Adult interactive live streaming platform" or similar description. Chaturbate hosts both nude and non-nude models, and both explicit and non-explicit content. The Wikipedia description as a "Pornographic Website" is misleading and has and does cause disagreements and arguments amongst Chaturbate broadcasters and viewers. Some viewers of non-nude models quote the Wikipedia description of a pornographic web site in disagreements about lack of nudity or explicit content. Chaturbate is an interactive live streaming platform for adults (18+), not exclusively a pornographic website. 2001:1C00:190B:B100:B1E3:67FB:19C8:5FA9 (talk) 10:11, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Would like to see corporate ownership info.

It would be good to see information about corporate structure and ownership. Thanks in advance Jmmx (talk) 15:30, 20 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
