Yesterday I was cleaning out my closet and needed something to keep me motivated. I decided to look for a site with live action to play in the background. Found live cams and it’s loaded with live feeds of people chatting and performing. Free to watch and they’ve got token deals for tipping or private shows which adds some excitement. Truthfully it made the task a lot less dull.
