A corrupt clip site like iwantclips.com would be nothing without its loyal supporters.
How else could they keep recruiting new artists and models?
While many artists and models were wise enough to have already left iwantclips.com, some pretty big names seem to have a lot of trouble letting it go.
Ellie Idol
Ellie Idol should be big enough by now to get along without promoting iWantClips.com, but here she is on February 8th, 2024. She doesn’t post often, so making the effort to @ iwantclips and reply with a link to her storefront is a significant endorsement.
Ellie Idol normally posts smalltalk- perhaps videogame news, maybe some solicitation for votes in various Cosplay or Roleplay contests, and random industry hot takes. But this was different.
In addition to this two-tweet feature, Ellie Idol tweeted again on Feb 11th and she liked it so much she even pinned it!
She also made sure to space out the link in order to protect this iWantClips spam tweet from being demoted in anyway. Tweets with completed links have been found to be less promoted by Twitter’s algorithm, so Ellie Idol is only making sure as many people go to iWantClips as possible.
But that isn’t all- our Ellie even has her iWantClips.com as her #1 clip store link on her AllMyLinks page.
iWantClips.com regularly registers vanity URL’s for its artists and models, for example iWantEllie.com for Ellie Idol.
These vanity URL’s then link to the corresponding store profile for the particular artist or model. Vanity URL’s make it easy for artists and models to post a more presentable address when providing links online.
But there’s one thing iWantClips.com does to indicate which artists and models they really really like: they register the vanity URL in three-year increments rather than in one-year increments.
By far, most artists and models on iWantClips.com are provided with a vanity URL that must be re-registered by iWantClips annually. This makes sense from the business side because any random artist or model could up and leave almost as soon as they arrived.
So there must be something that earns select artists and models this three-year commitment…
