Cam site glossary · 38 terms · 11 platforms
Every cam site word, decoded.
You open a cam site and the screen is full of words nobody explains: tokens, private, spy, ticket show, tip menu. Each page here takes one of those words and answers two questions: what does it mean for you, and what will it cost.
Every answer points to the platform document that defines the term, with the date of that document and the date we read it. When no platform defines a term, the page says so instead of guessing.
