Fails WP:NORG / WP:CORPDEPTH. Please note that most of the cited sources are NSFW. They are:
- 1. A very promotional review on "girlcamsites.com". This seems like an unreliable source.
- 2. An award roster for a non-notable award. Pornography industry awards are a dime a dozen.
- 3. A press release (credited as "newswire") promoting the company's affiliate marketing program.
- 4. Another ad for the affiliate program. Notice that the url is
https://www.payoutmag.com/press-releases/...
- 5. This is an ad that ran in The Austin Chronicle, not a regular news article. Just look at the other entries in https://www.austinchronicle.com/daily/ads/ (NSFW) -- it's full of ads for snake oil and scams.
- 6. An affiliate marketing article. If readers click through to the advertised websites and spend money there, the article publisher will receive a cut of the proceeds.
- 7, 8, 9. Promotional articles about the affiliate marketing program in the pornography trade press. The AVN and YNOT articles are lightly edited copies of the same press release cited as Ref 4. gnu57 18:47, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

- Comment it's hard to find anything discussing them that isn't, um, adult-related. We'd really have to dig to find a decent mention of the site in RS. Nothing in the NYT or other news sites. Oaktree b (talk) 23:32, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

- Delete. Not finding non-trivial independent RS coverage to satisfy WP:WEBCRIT, never mind clearing the higher bar of WP:CORPDEPTH. Incidental mentions and plenty of sponsored content. • Gene93k (talk) 18:00, 16 September 2022 (UTC)
- Delete. I am unable to find WP:ORGDEPTH-level coverage of this organization from multiple independent reliable sources, so this fails WP:NCORP and should be deleted per WP:DEL-REASON#8. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 01:01, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
