15 minutes and counting down-
How was the show ?
I've been a fan of Nikki since pretty much the beginning, so I was curious to watch the full cam show. To be honest, it's all pretty reasonable, I understand where she's coming from. She's burnt out on the pressure of getting out a photoset and video each week, while also managing her own life. She's at the point where she doesn't want to be doing this as a primary job, so putting the time in required to meet the schedule demands has gotten her into a funk where the site isn't fun and it's grueling. She knows it shows in some of the updates that come out, we know all too well when we get some "wtf was that?" weeks. One thing that I think always has set Nikki apart is that she takes the site seriously and delivers on her promises. Her taking 30 minutes to explain it says a lot about how much she emotionally invests herself into this. So instead of falling off the map like a lot of sites do when they die; she announced it, is up front about it, and explains what fans can expect going forward.
A few takeaways for things moving forward:
- Updates will come when they come, no set schedule. She'll do sets and videos when she's able and has a good idea for one. Basically her site will still be active, but won't get a constant stream of content like people have been used to.
- There's a backlog of unreleased photosets that they're planning on releasing. They're ones that either don't have a corresponding video or just didn't get released for one reason or another.
- No plans to do skype/privates/snap/etc.
- We might see some more candid stuff
And she didn't mention this, but no reason to believe the type of content we get is going to change. (i.e. more nudity)
The reality is she slowly stepping away. The end result will be retirement it's just a matter of how soon. I'll bet by the end of 2019 she will be gone.
Hi all-
Nikki said she is not retiring, she is however not going to maintain scheduled weekly updates going forward. Future updates will basically be sporadic and not adhering to a schedule. She isn't having fun with the job but does still like being an internet model. The creativity was suffering as well as trying to come up with fresh ideas. The job of weekly updates and maintaining the sites has consumed much of their time and has kept them from doing and enjoying other things, like trips and vacations. Joey maintains most of the site and they just changed servers.
Going forward she will be posting content to onlyfans & her site as well as Twitter! They asked if she would try Snapchat or clips4sale, not going to happen. She was moved by the outpouring of sentiment after she made the vague announcement of stepping away! She wants to get the fun back. She realizes these changes will affect membership but is going to go ahead with it and what happens happens!
I think that is a good summary, she was kind of all over the place. She didn't show anything more than in her regular cam shows so those expecting a trend towards more nudity will be disappointed. She gave no indication that she would go further in that respect!
BB-
While it's not a very solid marketing strategy (coming back sporadically with no change of direction - this will not bring back old members nor appeal to new fans), I guess we'll have to see what happens. Not listening to the fans has been the downfall of many an entertainer. Working with new ideas that fans suggested, different photographers.... things like this could make for a successful last hurrah. But like I said, let's see what happens!
Somebody knows something about the week's update?
she gonna give us a sextape and retired :stir:
