In everyday life, a tip is a financial reward given after a service is performed, such as tipping a waiter or bartender after you've been served. On F4F, the word "tip" has come to mean credits given to a model even if he has done nothing to earn them. For example, we are asked to tip a model to meet a a shift quota or help him win a contest and financial prize. Such "tips" are actually donations or contributions.
Over the years, i have read many comments from members upset a model did nothing after receiving a tip. It was a contribution, because the moment it was sent, the member lost leverage in the transaction. Sure, some models have tip goals and promise to perform when a set amount of credits are received. But those tip goals have devolved into "make me happy" and smiley face emojis rather than any behavior worth tipping. Those are donations, not tips.
We cannot change model behavior, but we can change our own. Tip after something is done that is worth a reward. You decide what that is and how much. Use your credits to pay for multi-user and private shows where you get something for your money. If you don't, then end the show and email support. If you feel like giving to charity, then support a fundraising contest, but understand it is a donation, not a tip.
