Defunct Webcam Sites: Cherry.tv and Platforms That Closed in 2025

The webcam industry is constantly evolving, with platforms regularly entering and leaving the market. In 2025, several notable platforms closed their doors, including Cherry.tv.

Cherry.tv - The Sexting Platform That Shutdown

Cherry.tv, owned by the same parent company as premium platform LiveJasmin (Delight Live), officially shut down its operations. The platform had carved out a unique niche as a webcam site focused specifically on sexting and virtual connections.

What happened to Cherry.tv:

• The platform ceased all operations in 2025
• Models were redirected to other platforms within the Delight Live network
• Affiliate payouts for any remaining balances followed standard procedures

Other Webcam Platforms That Have Closed

Over the years, several other webcam platforms have shut down or been acquired:

• Megacams - Rebranded to Flirtback before potentially shutting down
• Flirtback - Reports suggest the platform may have ceased operations; the sexting-focused platform formerly known as Megacams appears to be no longer active
• VCBot - Automated cam site platforms that have come and gone
• CamBB - Some smaller regional platforms have closed over the years

What This Means for Affiliates

When a platform like Cherry.tv shuts down, affiliates face several challenges:

• Lost commission streams - Any ongoing commissions from these platforms stop immediately
• Redirect opportunities - Sometimes platforms offer redirects to sister sites (e.g., Cherry.tv models often redirected to LiveJasmin)
• Payout timing - Always ensure you've received final payouts before platforms close completely

Interactive Toys: A Growing Niche

While some platforms close, the interactive sex toy industry continues to grow. Lovense remains the leader in cam model toys, with the Lush 4 being the most popular choice for webcam performers looking to boost engagement and earnings.

How to Protect Yourself as an Affiliate

To minimize risk from platform closures:

• Diversify across multiple platforms - Don't rely on a single cam site
• Monitor platform health - Watch for signs of trouble: delayed payouts, reduced support, declining traffic
• Stay informed - Join affiliate communities to share information about platform stability
• Understand the parent company - Platforms owned by established companies (like Delight Live) often have better longevity

The Current Landscape

Despite closures, the webcam industry remains strong. Major platforms like Chaturbate, BongaCams, Stripchat, and CAM4 continue to dominate the market. The closure of niche players like Cherry.tv often results in traffic redistribution to established platforms.

For affiliates, the key takeaway is to stay diversified and avoid becoming too dependent on any single platform. The industry will continue to evolve, with new players entering and old ones leaving.
