I agree. The traffic is awful and most don't buy shows. I hope they go back to buying quality traffic and not focus so damn much on Gold shows. Gold shows are not for every customer.
who knows its SM it could be anything. I just wish they stopped posting on dating sites everyone is feeling it this month its fine i guess when thyere doing it on top of other things but it feels like its all theyre doing right now and thats a bad move. the ones who dont have a steady fanbase/new are hurting right now

The concept was great in the beginning. Literally it took 5 mins to raise goal. Now, it is abused. I USE TO HAVE FUN.
I like how cams has it set, if serious everyone pays a per min fee, lower than our reg private show . set amount of men to get it started (like MFC)Cams , one person can go party chat but they are ppm and its 29% even if we ask for 45%)
anyways just a thought , vent over

It was great in the beginning. Then performers also abused it and started giving away tons of video's, playing games, selling clothing, doing dollar shows, etc. It brought in so many freeloaders and really if you want to do all that stuff, go on MFC where it's the norm. Hell one of the cam performers was bitching on Twitter tonight that there were several performers on page one fully showing their crotches and a couple fucking on cam, all in free chat. Why buy shows when you can be a freeloader and go room to room and get off for free? That's freeloader mentality.
I agree you should do your own thing but when your hustle fucks with other people's earnings then it becomes a problem. The full nudity in free chat needs to stop and Streamate needs to do their job and crack the whip on these performers if they hope to turn the site away.
I haven't tried a show on there but I do like that you posted. It does sound like a much smarter option. I'll have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it.

IMO they should've stuck with ONLY GOLD. Yes, I offer one video, the same damn solo video for every show. I started after others started and the non ending request. Funny, they buy in for the video , my regs know its the same one. We went from 5 for 5, to 5 for 10 to 5 for 15 then w/in 6 months of the gold shows intro the 1 and 2 buck shows started. When I jumped on that bc I was loosing money, I caught hell from other models. I was still dealing with others around me doing 30 min shows for 1 buck. For the models it went down and income did not rise by much, more hustle.
Nudity in free...WTF.. I see it as well and these are not mistakes, like the lagging of encoder, models straight up hitachi and dildo in free. I see models doing it for gold bc they do not have gold shows enabled. Men forever, "boobs", "ass" , "I want to see what Im getting before I pay" , "Im the customer, I pay you" Motherfucker you haven't paid shit, fuck off. Keyboard warriors "you suck" well, so does your grandma.
I could go on forever about it..
Live peep shows do not get previews. We have a peep show here and trust me I have thought many times of going to do it bc at least they pay with out begging, the thoughts of being followed home etc .. double edge sword.
Cams is whole different breed of men. Some may seem broke. I swear , if I tried there, I would do as good as I do on SM. I love SM. So... I keep cams as a back up.
The customers have to start "party chat" it is not a option for us to start, we simply enable it.
We have double edge sword.

ok ok ok !!
so my traffic was AWFUL the last two weeks i started racking my brains and thinking maybe I can't rely on SM so much...
today, though, was great.. i got my best ever per hour since i started in May.. my Gold Shows ran nicely, and then got an hour long block session!
I know you're all super strong Godessess and superbeings and don't need me to tell you, but don't lose heart anyone experiencing the lull !!
these two amazing SW threads were super helpful in recharging the mind and controlling your experience, i hope they help someone :

Im loling, did you go into the free free chat? I stay away from there. I get more of a kick abusing the mean members who actually put in a credit card number. I get mega trolls.
its true , regulars do not like to see us mad, upset or whatever so they will rescue us by privates or sending gold. I know some models that cant bring themselves to "troll" bc its not their personality. YES if you can do it, work it to your advantage.

I haven't cammed in a few weeks and decided to cam tonight.. As soon as I start streaming my feed is pixelated. I know it's not my internet or computer, and have never had problems with being pixelated before. I even tried the reccommended settings, medium settings and low settings, as well as update adobe flash and adobe media encoder..
Is anybody else have problems with going blurry/pixelated video/choppy feed?? I checked the site and everyone else looks crystal clear.. why me?!? :(

^ What's your minimum bitrate set at? (Click the wrench button next to "Auto Adjust") If you have auto adjust enabled it will automatically lower your video quality if your connection can't support your preferred bitrate. Sometimes I'll raise the minimum to 200 kbps, but when you raise the minimum bitrate you also raise your chances of getting disconnected/having other problems.

That could work too. They need to pick one or the other and then these guys would probably pay up. I did the video's for a short time and offered one as well and then they nagged for several video's to join the show. So I said fuck you and I dont offer any video's now.

o haha np no once its set up u can be off it for years if u wanted to and i think ur payment option would still be the same . as long your payoneer card is the same or does that matter? anyone know? like if u change ur payoneer do u have to 're-attach" all ur cam sites over to the new card or is that automatic done for you? or if u moved then u would need to input ur address again but i think it ever goes into " no payment option entered" setting or anything after a certain period of time of account inactivity
... if u change ur payoneer do u have to 're-attach" all ur cam sites over to the new card or is that automatic done for you? ...
I just changed mine and you just have to activate the new card, everything else stays the same, you don't have to do anything else.

Okay.....wth is hitachi?!?! and you can all laugh....and probably should, but I am a naive dumbass and the only hitachi i can think of sits in the garage and would render me permanently as a missing limb fetish camgirl and that being said....i am terrified to google that shit. (altho you could prob make bank like that) :D
Also.... I agree 100% with the peep show thing....seriously, you need a preview of a nakie chick to decide if you want to see the nakie chick? could you imagine one of them walking into a peep show theater and telling the ticket guy "I just wanna see the titties for free first so i know if i like them or not" LOL I'd pay to see that AND I wouldn't need a free preview!
AND.....what does that mean about party chat? I haven't ever enabled it just cuz I'm still trying to figure out all this encoder crud before I go and add another complication. So when you enable it one of the guys gets to decide if they want to use that feature or not and then everyone has to use it? I just thought if you enabled it everyone that came in would be in "party chat" like a regular chat room where you can all see and hear the same thing instead of the classic chat AKA unpaid version of private chat???
