Recommended Reading: inside a sexcam studio, the death of a content farm
Recommended Reading highlights the best long-form writing on technology in print and on the web.

I spent a month living in a Romanian sexcam studio (3,434 words) by Jack Davies, VICE Pocket When it comes to sexy cam shows, Romania is pretty much the undisputed capital of the world, with an estimated 2,000 studios. VICE's Jack Davies spent a month inside one such complex on a backstreet in Bucharest, where up to 11 "models" can stream themselves simultaneously to lonely viewers around the globe (but mostly in the US). While there is certainly some stigma still attached to the idea of taking your clothes off for money in America, in this Eastern European nation it's widely accepted. In fact, one of the two owners of this particular studio claims this is as an opportunity to better himself as a person, not just make a boat-load of money.
