It's just their way of skimming sales.
When sales drop, they find new ways to create income.
They shut down a few hundred low active accounts seasonally, that have very small balances due, find some legal loop hole in their TOS to do it, and keep the balances.
Did you have a small balance pending?
If they do this process they can instantly create revenue for themselves to get thru financial rough patches in low sales months.
Some will say, that is counter productive for Chaturbate, but it's really not. Low selling affiliates are a dime a dozen. There is an affiliate chump born every second online ready to replace the affiliate (you) that just got shut down.
200 low selling affiliate accounts x $ 50 small pending balances = $10,000 instant income for Chaturbate.
The odds on ANY low selling affiliate complaining legally is almost next to nothing. Chaturbate knows this. Who is going to sue for $50 due?
With no regulation or accountability, these web cam programs can steal your money, right in your face and there is nothing you can do about it.
They skim regular selling affiliates and shut down low selling affiliates while taking their balances due.
The best crimes are done right out in the open, and if you complain, all you'll get is an auto reply email with a link to their TOS.
