No, and I think the deep down reason a lot of people here are more against it than for it impulsively clicking 'no' is because like for example, Im not much of a gamer anymore. But I used to be so I know the landscape. These days, you pay $70 for a game, but in order to use all its features, you have to continue to pay for this pack and that dlc and this mod and that. Ya know, like 15 years ago you bought a finished product, but now you know you are buying an incomplete product and must pay to receive all its benefits. Will make slr feel incomplete and more of a cash grab.. in time. Maybe not right away, but it will change the image of the site to something more generic. Unless the goal is to change their image.
Now I know thats likely not the goal with this tipping performers idea. But when you have things like onlyfans and camgirl sites where you have to pay to play... I could see slr in the future morphing into something it never was to begin with. And I know you'd say nope will never happen, but it totally could given time. Today its just a tip to them, people like us wont notice anything or at minimum its optional. But once established that could change, and people know it. I just payed for lifetime, a year or two from now will I log into slr and have to pay a tip to unlock half the videos on the site? idk but its not out of the realm of possibility once you open that door of revenue on top of an already paid plan. Know what I mean? Slr is a business afterall so I get it, but I think this comparison to the other million sites is whats turning people off.
I guess this would be my tldr; tipping could be perceived as pay to play when they are already getting paid. Tipping could evolve over time into something non-optional to receive benefits on the site you already paid for. If the performers want more $ Im sure most, if not all, already have onlyfans and similar type accounts where they are making "side money." I already paid them.
