Big Cuties finally lost their biggest cash cow, BoBerry (RIP to the GOAT) and they also lost Brianna, CaitiDee, Jae, MsFatBooty, Devi, LisaLou, and Luscious all within a year!

And I forgot about Trysta’s WLS so I don’t think she will be around much longer either

Did BoBerry quit Big Cuties?
End of an era, boys

>>12408
Yes she announced her retirement.

I think this puts into perspective how outdated Big Cuties business model is with Only Fans, Patreon, and even Curvage to a certain extent. No wonder why so many models have left recently. 13+ years ago, Big Cuties was one of the very few places to see attractive women of that size online. With social media, tumblr, reddit, etc there's more hot fat women online than ever before. And most importantly, there's more ways to make money for the women too as opposed to staying with big cuties. I don't blame the models for wanting to leave especially if there's an instance of the payout not being as great in their favor (allegedly).

Brianna, Jae, Caitidee, Luscious, and MsFatBooty had side sites for years, so announcing a retirement isn't too much of a change for them. MsFatBooty is allegedly going to come back from retirement, after all. LisaLou was always close to the Caitidee crowd so I'm positive they bent her ear and taught her a different set of ropes.

And Trysta is technically the longest running active model - she's got a couple dozen more sets than BoBerry. Even if she didn't get WLS the bloom was going to come off that rose SOON.

I know I'm making excuses here but frankly, >>12412 is right. The business model is outdated. BigCuties is no longer the premiere site to see actually hot fat chicks. Heather doesn't have the pull she used to and quality control has gone down the drain. She still has Sadie and frankly I'm hopeful about the newer girls she's brought in like Gigi, Jaz, and Jolene, but none of them had the raw star power like Mary did.

The only saving graces Heather had with BigCuties were the hopes that models with independent sites like OF would update infrequently or have such low quality and editing customers wouldn't bother to stick around OR the OnlyFans scare a while back would shut the place down. Both turned out to just be scares - OF is keeping the porn and ex-BigCuties are by and large good to their fans (save for Jae who I'm told hasn't updated in a while). Now Heather's only strengths are demanding more variety in set content and guaranteeing 2 updates a month. Other than that? BigCuties isn't really competitive anymore.

I'm fairly certain that Heather and her husband were independently wealthy pre-BigCuties. it's like a side hustle/passion project that just so happened to spin off into a highly influential part of the bbw/fat porn industry. I would wager they're gonna be around a while longer. unrelated to any of this but they're getting Steph back sometime in the near future and she's huuuuuuge now.

anyway this sucks absolute ass but haven't we all been preparing ourselves for this for a couple years now? there's never gonna be another Boberry again. shame there wasn't even the usual announcement w/ the last few sets coming after.

>>12421
That's the part that's throwing me for a loop: no transition to a retirement. It just happened. I'm not speculating there was bad blood, and we all knew it was bound to happen, but why was there no announcement for a warning?

I'm sure Heather's going to be fine but it's a major profit generator gone. Even for a side hustle turned big business (though without knowing what/if Heather does for work) I imagine the revenue from BC does enough to fund her lifestyle and this is going to be a big hit to that you never want to see. It's like if McDonalds stopped selling fries.

>>12421

>I'm fairly certain that Heather and her husband were independently wealthy pre-BigCuties. it's like a side hustle/passion project that just so happened to spin off into a highly influential part of the bbw/fat porn industry.

Yup. A "DINK" (dual income no kids) couple, both of whom have six figure day jobs. Presumably they made bank off golden era BC, but it was never their only source of income.

>they're getting Steph back sometime in the near future and she's huuuuuuge now

Aww shit. This makes my day. Any recent pics of Steph at her current weight?

>>12423
There's some, and she's still huge, but I don't think it's her peak weight. But hey, with BC? That could very well change.

I have a feeling her new site is going to WLS related, I don't get the vibe Mary enjoys being a fat girl anymore.

>>12426
That's a distinct possibility. We know she likes the attention and I got the impression from her answer about being the biggest person in the room or needing accommodations in new places had a bit of forced happiness? I think she figures she'll still have a sizeable following if she announces that but her appeal from FA is going to suffer majorly.

Then again, I've always kinda thought in the back of my head she'd probably be inspirational on Instagram with a ✨weight loss journey✨ and make up those lost fans. To go from 600+ to a third of that? You'd be set for life with sponsors alone.

Welp, it's a premium PPV OF-style site. A little too early to tell how much content one is getting, but some steep price-per-minute videos and pic sets on sale.

Time will tell how it plays out.

Still, now I wonder who is next to drop BC after Trysta, and if anyone new will join the ranks before Steph supposedly comes out of retirement, again.

>>12427

Based on her socials, she's been living it up in San Francisco lately. That's a tough town to be a SSBBW in, from both a physical perspective getting around, and a social perspective (it's a very fit city). Idk if that has anything to do with things though

Apparently she had a dad in the NFL so I'm pretty sure she Mary was set for life from the beginning.

>>12405 (OP)
She is likely is leaving to get married and start a family.

>>12465
I believe this rumor has been debunked, but tbh she has a last name (I have some acquaintances who are in-crowd types so I've come across her personal facebook) that's very common in the NFL, but also therefore pretty common in general.

>>12474
I dunno about it being debunked - it's plausible but hard to substantiate.

>>12412
It is outdated. The business model doesn't scale.

Kawaii has an onlyfans now, I think we are about to lose another one

>>12405 (OP)
The porn business model is changing quickly and I think that’s really interesting. We’ve gone from professional studios with some actors and actresses making a little bit of money to more specific boutique sites like BigCuties catering to niche fetishes now to OF giving pretty intimate access to their content creators, the smallest niche imaginable (one model). And of course the flow rate of the content has increased drastically. So many BC (and similar) models obviously rented a hotel room, shot several sets there, and drip-fed those out over a few months whereas now, if you’re not putting out at least a video a week, you’re probably going to be seen as bad value.
On the one hand earning potential is basically limitless these days but on the other not many women - especially fat women - have the entrepreneurial sense to treat OnlyFans as the small business that it really is.
I can’t imagine the current status quo lasts very long, OF is very invasive and takes a LOT of time to make profitable, and especially for SSBBW models, I doubt they have the desire to film their weight-related struggles 5-6 days a week.

>>12728

This is a really good point. Everyone talks about how OF has changed the game, but you’re the first I’ve seen to say that the current situation may not be stable. OF is probably way over saturated—we’ve already seen plenty of people make one only to abandon it relatively quickly—so there’s bound to be a big drop-off over time. I guess the new equilibrium would be fewer OF models with larger subscriber bases? Which is similar to the old status who, except that as you say the norm would still be one model per subscription, and the cost of entry for new models would still be quite low. So we might still see a lot of churn even once some models stabilize their business.

Saw Chloe talking about opening an OF on her Snapchat story and now I wonder if she’s next

>>12706

Lol what do you mean it doesn’t scale? The business model is effectively just many individual model sites with central management and common branding. As long as the girls are producing their own content, there’s endless potential for scale. I don’t understand what you mean.

>>12722
She's been bumped pretty low on the grid on the bigcuties homepage, too. I think you're right.

Heather must have planned for this? It's not 2010 anybody with an iphone and a tripod and gather a massive ssbbw following, no one really needs big cuties anymore especially with onlyfans and manyvids. Now you can simply just cut out the middleman taking money for your "talents"

I'm still waiting for someone to open a sexcam studio like the ones in Romania, only catering to FAs and feeders. Ages ago I subbed to a membership site that had hundreds of women based in some European studio. So much variety to choose from

Add Cherries to the list of former BC models now.

Who’d they lose them to, only fans?

>>13115
Mostly

No great loss 🦀🦀🦀

>>12722
Her site hasn't been updated since Jan.

>>13987
I wonder why Heather isn’t updating or retiring her site

its not dead theyre nobody bbws out there who would kill for a contract but im sure heather is mad af all her superstars leave. Im sure Sadie is next

>>14039
Sadie wouldn't dream of it. She nor Tofu don't have the business acumen to manage as a model without going completely lazy and doing Royalty-tier content. Everyone else would surely retire or jump to OF. Heather needs to reevaluate if it's worth keeping this going, because OF is shaking up her business model.

>>14039
If the stars are leaving and no one new is staying then doesn’t that mean it’s dead?

>>14049
Personally speaking, they still have more girls I like than dislike, Steph is returning, a new model is joining their roster, and if Gigi and Jolene, will gain as much as previous models, thing will get real interesting.

>>14053
I stumbled upon Jolene's personal Tumblr before she started modeling - she's got potential to blow up. As much as I want Gigi to, something tells me she'll tap out before she gets obscenely obese.

this just in:
"@ssbbwchloe_
My years on big cuties were some of the best! I am retiring from the site but you can still find me posting regularly on OnlyFans, manyvids and clips4sale!"

>>14125

That's pretty sad, isn't it? I wonder what's really going on.

>>14126
I mean,compared to sites like onlyfans,bigcuties is pretty damn outdated compared to them.Why stay on bigcuties if there’s something out there like onlyfans that has a much bigger audience?

>>14126
I don’t know anything about the cuts of the revenue, but the fact alone that big cuties was always “send in multiple sets and we’ll dole them out at lazy intervals” was the subject of annoyance even 10 years ago.

I have to imagine having control over real-time posting of your content is a big deal to the models.

>>14149
It may annoy the fans, but to their credit they set that expectation at the onset. Sure it's a throwback to older days of porn subscriptions but it worked for girls who did this as a side gig - shoot a bunch of sets over a weekend and you're set for a few months. Single-model sites like OF you need to be way more active. It really puts the work in sex work. BC had blogs but those were inherently lower interaction than the chat functions OF and BoBerry's site have.

The retired section is nuts

>>14491
I think they call that "design gore"

>>14491
Man Brianna looks young in that pic. And Ash actually looked attractive back then.

>>14491
Whatever happed to Holly anyhow, I've only seen a few videos and nothing anywhere near recent.

>>14491
Damn shoutout to Demi, that fatass pawg was always wildly underrated

Maybe I’m just disappointed but I thought Steph was going to be putting out regular updates

>>18149
I think Heather just stuck her there because she hasn't gotten around to putting out her new sets. Which begs the question why she even bothered to change the design and put Mollie in Regular if she's not going to add her new photos anyway.

>>15016
yeah, man. she had a wagon too

Were do you guys base the idea on that she runs the site on her own in the first place?

>>18198

their asses.

Still a pretty stellar lineup of models, considering the opportunities available now compared to 5 years ago. This format might be dying but in the meantime I don't know another site that comes close.

>>14491

Margot was the best on that list. Huge dumper, huge appetite. And also just seems like a lovely person.

And one time she unexpectedly ripped ass in a video and I laughed for like ten minutes.

Any bets on who leaves next? My vote is for Bonnie.

>>19444
Jolene. It seems like she has run out of ideas for sets and never catched the attention of many. After 5 days it will be a month since her last update too. If any of the models with more than 100 updates stop, it doesn't surprise me much, that's the moment half of the model quit on average, no?

Such a shame BC is seemingly on the way out. Say what you want about the lack of anything hardcore, an average of 2 sets per month (during their heyday) each consisting of 40+ pics and at least a 3-4 minute video for $20/month was significantly better value than anything you'll get on OF, where you have to pay the monthly fee IN ADDITION to the often-expensive paywalls that are put on most of the longer videos. Not to mention, only a handful of low-effort photos

I think big cuties is pretty much doomed as the onlyfans model of porn distribution spreads. There’s no need for a middle man anymore, now the models can keep 100% of the revenue and have complete creative control. It’s also easier to directly engage with the audience and know what people want to see now.

>>19444
Good call. She posted her final update.

>>22173
Bonnie stuck with them a LOT longer than I would have ever guessed tbh. I feel like she was one of the first to branch out and do her own clips shop.

>>22173
is she retired completely or just different site now?

>>22356

She has an OF, so I'm guessing she's just leaving BigCuties.

>>19444
>>22173
Sadie goes next, she seems to be heading towards hardcore potentially with her buddying up with Julie and Asstyn and the bondage vid she shot.

>>22358
notbad.jpg

I didn't find anything about the bondage vid but I did see her hitting up a few (female) porn stars for "business inquires" on Twitter. I could see her doing both concurrently, the BC gig has been fortunate for her, shes has a loyal fanbase and has the most popular BC sub-domain other than Boberry last time I checked.

>>22366
Someone posted the video on her thread on /ssbbw/, she's wearing a mask but it's blatantly her.
Also considering Boberry left, "loyalty" means shit tbh. Porn would likely pay out a lot more than her BC stuff

are you referring to that extreme spanking vid? that's several years old.

>>22385
Yeah basically nobody knows what the fuck was going on there. It’s super out of her wheelhouse and she seems genuinely distressed in it. Would not expect her to make the jump to hardcore but I’ve been wrong before.

>>22385
Ah. Still though, if she was willing to completely throw a curveball and do that. More may be a possibility
>>22388
>He doesn't know what acting is

>>22399
nah I kind of agree. always got weird vibes like she got tricked into that.

Anything over 250 pounds is high risk unhealthy. Its dead

>>22388
Don't want to be that guy but.... link?

>>22958
It used to make the rounds on tube sites some time ago but I haven’t seen it in a while. Hard to find, I don’t think her name is on it.

Was she even there a year?

>>22986
Really makes me wonder if it's BC or the girls.

>>14491
Should come as no surprise. It's a 20+ year old site.

>>12405 (OP)
despite all the girls leaving, and less Models comming/Joining the website, i still love the Webiste and Softcore style. Thats all that matters in this fetish, admiring fat girls for how beautifull and fat they are. And the fact that Bigcuties was my first real bbw-ssbbw webiste to begin with makes me cry how less of models there are. :(

I love the Webiste and iam happy not everything is OF related.
Keep it oldschool

Heather can’t even keep the site updated. What’s the fucking point?

>>23270 You are exactly wrong, and what big cuties needed was a non softcore part of the site. It's theoretically possible that most of your favorite models could still be on with big cuties had they. They need more quality bbws (more like your favorites), and more hardcore content. The competitive landscape is not the same as it was when the site launched. This is why. The quality of the content has also suffered and I am not sure why. The content was much better produced back then. Most people probably don't care about such minor details though, but appearantly something changed behind the scenes that resulted in worse photography and more boring art overall. These are some of the possible reasons why there could be less models like your boberrys jumping at the chance to join bigcuties.

>>23540
It could be Heather is wheelchair-bound and not physically meeting any of these girls anymore. She's got her own issues to worry about now and unfortunately for BigCuties, webmastering comes second to that.

I feel for the models though. Steph had a SPLIT SECOND of being back and now who knows what's going on. And there's definitely a decline in content quality.

>>22990
I think it's the scene itself that's the problem, a combination of the market being oversaturated and the content that's being produced being unappealing to new comers.
