Stripchat today released its end of the year data report for 2020 and good-golly is it packed full of more information that you could ever want to know about the live camming business.<\/p>\n

For example, who among us would have guessed that the cam-modelling industry had such a huge userbase. Per the report:<\/p>\n

\n

Stripchat reports an overall growth in traffic in 2020 having 906,181,416 in total new users vs 537,938,778 in 2019.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That\u2019s nearly a billion new users after a year in which the platform saw more than half-a-billion. We\u2019re talking about an industry that\u2019s pandemic-proof. (And for good reason, there\u2019s no safer sex than cam sex).<\/p>\n

However, despite Salt-N-Peppa\u2019s best attempts, we\u2019re not here to talk about sex. We\u2019re here to talk about AI and what Stripchat calls the \u201cthe next best use case for AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

Called \u201cAnal-ytics,\u201d it\u2019s\u2026 well, here\u2019s what Stripchat says:<\/p>\n

\n

Our team has developed a machine-learning algorithm to identify particular sex acts within the live-streaming video. We\u2019ve called our AI \u201cAnal-ytics\u201d and it analyzes live video as it happens, allowing us to bring live anal and live blowjob scenes happening at the very moment right to the eyes and hands of our users. In 2020 the total traffic to both categories approximately doubled.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It sounds a lot like Stripchat developed a computer vision model capable of searching through the hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of live streams happening on its platform in real-time for specific model interactions. The system, we assume, then surfaces those results to a \u201cfeatured\u201d section on the main page \u2014 or something like that, admittedly I haven\u2019t interacted with the site itself outside of due diligence for this article.<\/p>\n

Quick take:<\/strong> This is genius. A decade ago when the cam industry was really starting to gain steam on the back of quicker home internet connections the idea of this particular use case would have seemed far-fetched. But AI\u2018s come a long way. Modern deep learning techniques make it possible for businesses to search through huge mountains of data that would take a staff of humans thousands of years to parse.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019re wondering how that surge of users turned out for the models, Stripchat reports the top five earners made between $388 and $965 an hour. The site also said:<\/p>\n

\n

 Users spent 98,595,157 hours on live cams in 2020, which is 68% more than they did last year (62,190,458 in 2019). Evidently, it coincides with the traffic growth. It\u2019s also worth mentioning that in 2020 we have a new single tip record, which is $16,897.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This just goes to show you: nothing\u2019s more pandemic-proof than robots and sex.<\/p>\n
