It looks like I was wrong.
Blackbull1970,

You aren't wrong. However, I think you are misunderstanding something. And I know you are confusing
a models' choice of how they run (not just SC) but any site they appear on, and the hosting website's roll in their sites' operation.
First off, Let me be clear:
SC IS a place where models have full control of their content. The distinction between a model's choice of duties and the option to hire professionals for various website tasks lies in the scope of time and desire. A model may only choose to personally handle responsibilities such as content creation, or, like myself (and many others) may choose to maintain a hands-on approach and personally be responsible for handling every aspect of their site. (Content creation, text, planning, scheduling, wardrobe, photography, videography, etc) This gives the model total creativity control of her site. However, this requires a broad skill set and significant time investment. On the other hand, hiring professionals allows the model to leverage specialized skills, such as photography, research, specialty studio locations for shooting, and digital marketing, which can potentially enhance the website and allow the model to participate in something she enjoys, but leaves her with time to pursue other interests. Ultimately, the choice depends on the model's goals, expertise, and resources, balancing personal involvement with professional input to create a successful website.
Bottom line, the choice is the model's. There's nothing negative against it. And with the sheer number of charms on SC, there is quite literally, someone for everyone. Whatever type of model the viewer is searching for, most likely you can find her on SC. Whether it's someone who is a true amateur, girl next door type and runs their own site, or someone who has professional photographers, or someone who just models.
SC does NOT own the model's content. And each model has full control of her content. SC has rules each model must follow. But they DO NOT run a model's website.
