Buzz-Kill

Can I just say how intensely I dislike this new "My toy reacts to your touch!
Press anywhere inside this box to pleasure me for 15 points per click" thing?

Like, a LOT.

Look, I've been over the Points thing. In principle, I like it. Why shouldn't there be a way to derive some tangible return for the enjoyment that can be had from a good Cam show? I think that's shiny.

I mean, I do tend to be turned off by the more brazen "Give me points to see [...]" sessions, but that's just *my* aesthetic. There are others who seem to dig it, and the haggling can be entertaining. Go with gods, I say.

But this? Prospective viewers are being prompted to *lead* with a point transfer, before they even see anything. Even that's fine in principle. I suppose. If it floats based on enough people's participation in it, then I suppose the "Market" will have spoken.

For my part, I will be voting with my "feet," and will not have any part of it. Indeed, I have found myself subsequently avoiding the cams of those who use it. I've even blocked one member (so far) who seemed to *never* get on cam without splashing that screen in my face.

Kinda hoping I'm not alone on that.

 Okay, my patience is at an end. My new stock comment to these cams:

"OhMyGods. Bugger this new "Buzz My Toy [sight unseen]" business. Bugger it energetically and without lube. It has cost you at LEAST one viewer. May it sink without bubbles."

 ....Well, just order me a side of curly fries with this plate of Crow.

I'm so in the habit of *not* clicking inside of pop-up boxes (usually an invitation to malware) that it never occurred to me to consider that the "Got It" button would pass through to the cam session, though the Buzz icon would appear over it, down in the corner.

Given that that's the case, I officially no longer have a problem with this.

It was the notion that there was no way to view the session without Buzzing first that had chapped my chalupas.

Good habit, misapplied ---> Misunderstanding ---> Ill-informed rant.

Reckon no one's immune, yah?
