A few years ago I interviewed with the company behind Stripchat. I would have taken the offer if I'd passed. At the time I figured the webcam industry was sleazy but functional. Then someone wrote a comment to my favorite social platform, that laid out what the industry actually looks like from the inside — contracts that change after signing, studios making tens of thousands a night while models get hundreds, performers who looked happy at 25 but had no family and no way back at 40.

I came up with the domain name first. Then I bought it. Then I used AI to pull every relevant study I could find — Human Rights Watch reports, ICIJ investigations, peer-reviewed papers. The research that would have taken weeks took about an hour. I verified every source by hand. What you see on onlybots.cam is the result.

The site looks like an AI companion platform. Click any button and it flips — every fake metric becomes a real statistic. Average creator earns $180/month while the platform owner took home $1B in dividends. 48% of sex workers report lifetime suicidality. 7 of 50 models in HRW's Colombia investigation started before age 18.

Every number links to its primary source. Nothing is made up. I wish some of it were.

This isn't aimed at viewers or the people on camera. It's aimed at the platforms and studios that take most of the money and look away when things go wrong.

Happy to answer questions about the data, the tech, or the concept.
