Let's not forget the OG Bigcutie: Heather. She was my introduction to BBW models in a day when cute SSBBWs was not a "thing" (any fat semi-nudes were there to mock being fat, not appreciate it) and she created the first and best site of the time. While I would be sad to see it go, it's relevance has passed. Just like Dimensions magazine and its chat forums have given way to things like BigCuties itself (and other websites) for those of seeking boudoir pics of BBWs and bbw-chan to talk about them, there is not the same need for something like BigCuties in the days of OnlyFans and Clips4Sale. In its heyday, Heather produced a website of consistent and unsurpassed quality, with regular updates, professional quality pics, and great videos. Now there are models who would benefit from the discipline that Heather brought to the site (those regular updates being #1 on my list of gripes), but it is so cheap and easy to produce good quality content on other sites that there is not the same benefit to a model to use BigCuties as a way to earn $$ from their content. (I'd love to hear from one of the current models as to why the are still there. Not saying they shouldn't, but I am genuinely interested in what are the benefits to a model to using BigCuties.)
There have been some incredible models there - in addition to those already mentioned, MizzPuss was a favorite of mine, and Ash was another great model to watch grow. And Echo is in a league of her own (or at least was, if rumors of her weight loss are accurate). My GOAT there was Trysta, who first attracted me with her fat thighs and calves and helped me develop a severe appreciation for a huge belly. I remember the eager anticipation for her first set after seeing those tantalizing sneak peeks of her, and I enjoyed every set until her retirement.
But I am no doubt emblematic of how the times have changed and I don't really see the value there anymore. They have some great models still - Steph in particular (subscribed to her twice - during her original and second runs there, though have not this time around) - but $20/month is pretty steep for the content. And I have so many other options where I can pay for only the content I want, and frankly, there is SO much fap-worthy content for free floating around these days that the high dollar subscription model just is not worth it nowadays.
BigCuties has played a seminal role in our collective BBW appreciation journeys, whether or not you have ever subscribed. They were the first to professionalize the preference, and for that I will be eternally grateful to them and their stable of beauties.
