Of course its not really free and of course they block basic members. Why would they hang out on cam for hours at a time for no money? Its a paid site and they're online strippers/porn actresses with an interactive element.freecams isn't really free. the girls usually block the basic members. wtf.
A lot of the models block basic members (the ones with little-no money who aren't going to be able to pay them while they're doing their job). The result of not blocking basic members is a whole bunch of "show pussy bb", "turn around bb", etc., requests for no tip or in public. MFC ladies are looking to do a) public shows for tips or b) private shows for tips. Its their job, not what they do for fun at the end of the night (or rather a combination of job and fun, which is the best type of job!).
Apparently there are currently lawsuits surrounding the way that MFC advertises that you can meet girls for free when in actuality very few of them would ever meet in person even in a pay-for-play situation.
