No I don't mean that

It’s really difficult to get up close unless you have a reason to be that close. Or a lucky spot. Hopefully as phones get better and better cameras and smart watches get more functionality (like with remote viewfinders, which does exist currently) that problem will be solved but it’s never a perfect solution unless you can legit get right near the girls. Too much suspicion of random guys nowadays though (which in reality does make sense).Footsiefreak wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 9:53 pm I'll say the closeup voyeurism is dead. But mostly new stuffI see is the far away stuff at meetings or functions etc. I appreciate the effort but I prefer close up material.
And without any chances to monetize the content you shoot... how could anyone think to invest like that? VISA and Mastercard destroyed the "candid video business" in my opinion, and there is no way it's going to be as it was a few years ago.
Yep. If you're gonna invest in it to capture stuff for yourself or if you actually WANT said device* and not just candid stuff then that's one thing. But if you're hoping for a return on your investment by selling candids.....well......good luck.

We will still get "some"...but not even 10% than before, I think.
Great pic! She's wearing hose right?ShoeplayJ wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 10:50 amYep.

* For instance right RIGHT before the pandemic (and of course predating the big candid purge), I spent a little under $500USD for my Samsung Galaxy S10e, which has questionable zoom but otherwise takes BEAUTIFUL 4K:

Had I only gotten it for candids (especially considering where we are now), I'd be fairly miffed, but it's my first high-end phone and I also shoot indie music videos on the side, so I definitely got my money's worth. At this stage in the game, I don't recommend spending anywhere close to that just for candids, unless again it's just for yourself and if it's a device you already want.
Thank you and yes sir she is. Every time I see her she's in tan or nude'ish hose!Footsiefreak wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 1:47 pmGreat pic!

This pot was only going to boil more and more and given the current state of life it was only a matter of time before big name youtubers/journalists got ahold of this and made a stink. I feel bad for those who used it as income, and it sucks that it is so hard to share/find candids, but... at least we can continue to exist in obscurity and the shoeplay can still happen without news articles polluting minds...
not trying to be a conspiracy nut but I can't be the only one who was worried where this was going to go.
You may thank Visa and Mastercard for this.
I've also noticed that. I frequent a couple locations for possible filming but basically every girl is wearing sneakers. Sometimes I'll get lucky and catch one wearing crocs or slides (very popular nowadays). But yea it seems like the prettiest girls just HAVE to wear sneakers.MelFresh wrote: ↑Sun May 08, 2022 10:40 pm Warm day in some European capital. Huge university library. Hundreds of female students inside. Even five years ago there was no question if but how many shoeplay events someone could see in places like these. But last week there was almost no one there in ballet flats or pumps! And no one in hose... Only these fucking sneakers, sneakers and sneakers... Even ladies with elegant cloathes prefer to wear sneakers these days. They even refused to wear dress footwear during their exams! Could you imagine it? White jersey, black skirt and fucking white sneakers instead of black pumps or ballet flats!!! What a tragedy... Is there any hope that young generation of women will be feminine again???
