Pretty sure camgirls have been using vibrators connected to online gifting systems for a long time.
OT: are camboys a thing? It's not my niche, but I wonder if we will see a shift in the word towards "campeople" or some other unisex name.

Not even trying to stir shit, I am genuinely curious. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with gendered names.

"Cammer" is the unisex name in the industry, as far as I'm aware.

Though it was more popular with the earlier wave of webcam streaming activity, back in the era of Chatroulette's first rise.

well see, the problem is those systems are all closed source and centralized through servers run by pimps. A FOSS protocol for remote manipulation of vibrational devices on N-axes is just the sort of thing needed to kick off a committee that'll spend the next ten years drafting a plan to decentralize vaginas.

[Edit: Also, blockchain! My GOD why has no one made a vibrator that only vibrates once a payment block is confirmed 6 times?]

With buttplug.io (the author) you can already do that. Maybe not IFTT, but you can definitely automate them however you like
well I guess I'm behind in this scene. Maybe I should get one. Could be a nice reminder for when the laundry's done
Pretty sure it was here on HN that I saw someone explain how they had integrated it with Home Assistant.
