I've been thinking about this lately - this is a force that is and will take place whether you or I or any site owners like it or not. There's some irony here, girls for years in porn have been somewhat exploited by webmasters - now with platforms like this one and MyFreeCams they don't need a webmaster, the top girls on MFC are making more money now than 99% of webmasters. More of these sites will be popping up, the smart motivated girls will cut out the middlemen webmasters.
If you want a girl to be exclusive to you then one of two things - you have to make things so good for her that she sees no reason to be on other platforms OR you have to work with girls with not much ambition or motivation or smarts - lots of the latter around.
It's already happening, girls with solo girl paysites spending more time on MFC because they make more on MFC. And if Playpen takes off they'll be on there selling videos, photos and camshows too.
Playpen isn't the first, there's a UK site that's been around awhile very similar.
None of it works without traffic, MASSIVE traffic, MFC would be nothing without the crazy amount of traffic it buys on ad networks. If you can't provide the traffic, the girls won't stick around.
