What makes you think they need to tell you anything about their business with one of their studios or the models that work for them?. You are a member, not a business partner, not a stock holder, not a member of their board.
Well this sure is rich. First of all VS Media, Flirt4Free's parent broadcasting company, is not publicly traded so they don't really have shareholders in the first place. By virtue of them being a private company and given the nature of this company it's safe to assume that they, like most private companies, have no board of directors either (I also checked: they do not). Flirt4Free, despite having a sophisticated-looking website, is still a pretty small business with annual revenue < $30 million and relatively few employees (which might explain all the contests and the site's deep reliance on the studios).
All of that means that the people funding their business right now are almost exclusively their customers. They very much are beholden to their customers, which means they ought to be more responsive to their customers' grievances. So yeah... that's why everyone here is completely within reason to expect Flirt4Free to be more transparent about this when it obviously has been bothering so many people for some time. Even if they were very large and had lots of external investors, how you can conclude that being a member of the site, a literal customer helping them pay their bills, counts for nothing is beyond me. It's business owners with mindsets like yours who learn the hard way when those unimportant dollars start walking away. I seriously hope Flirt4Free and/or VS Media are better than your comment makes you sound.
