In her memoir Camgirl, Isa Mazzei recounts her year-and-a-half spent performing intimate acts for an online audience. She writes that camming is the hardest job she’s ever had. From conceiving new shows and ensuring her regular viewers were entertained to remembering viewer birthdays and responding to private messages, she was always on the clock.
