I think we actually agree on more things than it might seem.
First, I completely understand your point, and I would never deny the economic side of the platform. Of course, there is a transactional aspect—this is how models make a living and how the site functions. That part is real and obvious.
My original comment wasn’t meant to pretend otherwise. I think the person who started the thread was just sharing something they found fun or interesting, almost like a small curiosity about their time on the site. It may not be the kind of milestone people brag about in real life, but I think they were simply enjoying the moment and sharing it with the community.
I only wanted to add to the conversation in a friendly way. And to be gentle.
You’re also right that when a room is very busy, the most immediate way to get a model’s attention is through tipping. That’s simply the reality in a high-traffic room. But a good model still tries not to be rude and at least acknowledge people when possible. But maybe I am wrong, I just talk to myself that I try my best to be gentle and good with the people who, at the end of the day, SUPPORT US. But I know many models don't do it (I know I sound "pick me"), but I don't want to sound like that is just my thought.
There are also days when rooms are slower, and in those moments, a conversation can actually make a model’s day better, too. Sometimes the chat itself becomes part of the entertainment.
And of course, when money is involved, both sides can enjoy the experience even more—that’s part of the exchange.
So yes, you’re right that it’s a transactional platform. I don’t disagree with that. I was only trying to point out that the experience for many people can include a bit more than just the transaction.
