Are the people being disconnected streaming through the encoder or the browser? Just wondering if maybe that has something to do with it? Or is it just kicking everybody off...

Maybe theres a silver lining in all of this. Maybe now they'll be forced to fix their shit since apparently they didnt care enuf before. Server crashes are kinda serious ...

Sadly, the last time the servers crashed they didn't fix things.....they just patched together the system that everyone is still using now. :/

I've been trying to use SM forever now, but can't because for some reason the encoder just doesn't even connect to my chat. I have tried every possible configuration, my computer is up to date, and I've tried several different browsers. I've never really used SM, but I wanted to try it out and I can't even do that. :(

Hello,
I have my streamate account for quite some time but worked on it on and off(more off than on).It's not working too good for me.I charge 3.99$ per minute.I am a vanilla girl.I don't do topless in free chat(only if i'm tipped i do) and i don't do anal in private.I also don't really enjoy talking on the mic too much(i rather type).I noticed that guys leave when i start typing and most of them just come and go.They don't hang out in my room.I really cannot use my voice so much cause it is night time when i work and i have neighbors so i only use mic in privates.Is there any chance i could be making any money on this site?Do i need to tease a lot in freechat(show ass,dance etc)?I wanna make about 500$ a week with 5 hours of work/day.Is it possible?I also don't have big tits.I noticed that the majority of girls on streamate have big boobs and men like that however mine are small and i like them just the way they are.
Thank you.

Hello girls! I'm absolutely new here and on Streamate too. I have a problem with the percentage. I applied as an invidual performer, but I have got only 30% of my earnings. I am from Eastern Europe, can it be the problem? I wrote to the support but they haven't answered yet :( Can you help me with a direct email addresse? Thanks! :)

I'm from Romania and i also get 30%.I think 35% is only for USA models.

@ AlishaRed Yes studio girls get 30%, but if you are from EE you are automatically put in a sort of virtual studio - supposedly because this protects from fraud and such. I had the same issue, since I registered directly through them, so I emailed and got this answer.
@panzi I do the same - be more off than on. Idea is, to make 500 a week, with 5 hours a day - you'd need to make 20 an hour. that is generally possible, but in my experience, you actually have to be consistent. generally after I disappear for a while my hourly is 10, it does grow if i am consistent.
Of course, right now i am online on 3 sites (SM, Imlive and cams) for 45 minutes and didn't make one cent. sooooo....

There's 2 "Tiers" on SM. US/UK/Canada (and I think other English-speaking countries) are tier 1 at 35%. Tier 2 is everyone else at 30%. The studios get the same rate. Western Europe seems to be hit and miss (we had a Spaniard able to sign up, but a German was rejected...) for our Tier 1 studio.

Hello girls,
What are the emails from those supports who help models so i can e-mail them directly?I know it was posted here but the thread is so long.I emailed support filling that form but they did not help me at all.I asked to have my videos removed and not be recorded any further so they said that they opt me out of all promotions...this means the traffic will be horrible+i have 1 country blocked so even more horrible.I think they read only a few words from my emails cause they always give those standard copy/paste replies that have nothing to do with what i asked.
KatyBoleyn
04-04-2015, 08:26 AM
That is basically what the videos are. SM has one "switch" to take you out of promotions (2 if you count Geo-blocking), its not really like a McDonald's menu. From what I understand though, they don't do the video thing to people using the encoder, and there is a lightweight encoder Hyori and Rae have been messing with for people without the beefy computers.

I am using the encoder with the medium settings so this means that they are not going to record me?I asked a customer and he said that there are no videos on my profile right now.I ve read here that if you ask them to opt you out of promotions the traffic will be very very bad so is it the best to tell them to revert what they did and hope that they ll not record me if i keep using encoder?
what is the lighweight encoder?
Thank you for your reply KatyBoleyn!

I've always used the encoder and I have a video preview, le sigh. I wish I got a cut of that.

FWIW I do not have geo blocking, I use the encoder on medium settings, and on low if my stream is being sketchy. I have been on the site for 4+ years. On my cammodels link I have a videos tab on my profile, but not on my Streamate profile. When I take a look at my profile on white labels the video tab is on certain ones there.
For example:
yes on: nsfwcams.com livebootcall.com
no on: cam-sex.xxx, 4clubcams.com, watchcams.com

So I'm trying to figure something out. I have noticed that my tv producer shows have became less frequent. As in MAYBE I'll get 2 a week. When I could expect two every 3 hour shift. Normally I don't depend on them, but this week I could of really used them. Is it because I cut my hair off? Does streamate think I lost my appeal because I shaved my head? I see girls around me in my placement getting them all the time, so it's not like they are trying to give girls with lower placement more attention (which I totally support).
I know my earnings haven't been like the used to, because school has been taking up A LOT of my time. Therefore I can't put in the normal time I've used to. I am only doing this part time. I've been getting nothing but positive feedback on my hair, and I can still pull in money depending on the traffic.
I sent them an email asking what's up. Hopefully they give me a reasonable explanation why.
I'm just curious, has anyone notice this as well? or experienced this in the past?

AudriTwo, I opted out of TV shows a few weeks ago. I can't quite put my finger on it, but something is up with the TV shows. They started to offer me $77 shows (what a random number, right?) and that's when I finally opted out. And same as you, the frequency of them being offered was the same thing as you mentioned, all of a sudden not as often as before. Also, I was getting 10-15 countdowns + show length. I'm already offered a low amount for the TV shows, and I always hit goal and exceed it significantly often times, but yet they never offered me more to reflect this; as a matter of fact they lowered my goal! That was the final straw and I said fuck it and opted out. I've also read a week or two ago a girl mentioning her ranking drops significantly after doing the TV shows (can't remember which thread)... Not sure if it's true but it is another thing to think about...

I used to get them fairly regularly when I was heavier with bigger boobs. Went from a full D to a scant B, LOL. TV shows stopped, Vanessa tried to help see if it was my settings whatever. I think she really can't come out and say, hey, none of the TV producers want to wank off to you now. I totally gave up hoping but I think if the producers are looking for traditional sexy standards they are underestimating their audience.
I didn't depend on them for money (though always hit goals) but more for exposure and new traffic. I've now opted out altogether because after I spoke to Vanessa I still wasn't getting offers yet when I was in classic chat I would get the big ineligible pop up while I was in paid shows, sometimes not near the screen to clear it and missing the custie chat. Salt in the wound, LOL.
Not saying I think it's because of your hair at all, BTW; I just have my own pet theories about my own experience. It's def worth asking, though.
ETA--this all happened early 2014. Clearly I am over it. Clearly.

Audri, I've experienced the same thing. I used to get at least 1 TV gold a night and I haven't had one in nearly a month. I had a producer tell me I needed to limit my squirting during the show, which surprised me, but I complied. I thought maybe I drove off the producers with my squirt shows, but maybe there's more to it?

So turns out Streamate is no longer doing Dish Network shows. So that has something to do with it. I can understand why I'm getting less.
Thank you for reaching out to Model Support. At this time, we are not LIVE on Dish Network, however, we are continuing “Model Selection” daily. This will remain in place until further notice to ensure that we are assisting our models gain as much traction as possible at the top of the Streamate website when you accept a show. These shows may not be LIVE but producers are still viewing and rating each show as if it were for future LIVE TV selection and recommendation. Thank you and please let us know if you have further questions regarding this matter.”

I was going to say after I read SarahTime's post that if they are infact stopping airing TV shows they should still keep doing the featured shows for rotation and promotion of the models. Thanks AudriTwo for posting the above info. I wonder why they stopped with dish network? Hmmm..

WHAT? That makes no sense to me. I squirt in my shows constantly, usually multiple times and they still offer them to me. Sometimes the producers make me want to scream. I think they get the "god complex".
It would have been nice to know that they weren't doing dish shows anymore. I know a lot of models that tell people to tune in on the channels. It is nice to have confirmation though, so thank you for posting that Audritwo :)

The producers pick who they think will bring in traffic. So if you're on their list of faves, then you'll get TV shows. Totally unfair but that's the truth.

Oh, we all know that the producers aren't just doing this job because 'hey, paycheck!' No it's 'hey paycheck and I get to be in charge of the porn!!!!' It's literally their own personal production and they can do whatever they want, so let's not kid ourselves--they're directing you to do what makes their cock happy.
And if there's a chick on staff, well, it's only because SM had to pretend to be adhering to equal opportunity work laws when they put this job on the bulletin board at work.

I've heard that a lot of overseas models use this to their advantage. So they will bring up a sob story about how they are trapped with a studio, that they have 5 children and an abusive husband and then bleed guys dry when in reality they are totally lying. I've even heard that they will tell the guy they will meet them and then the guy will give them all of their money, their house, their alimony...everything. And they have absolutely no guilt about doing this sort of hustling. Not that there is anything wrong with that of course, if the guy believes the lies, (or it could all be true), then it's really his problem for being gullible and naive.
I saw a documentary about prostitutes in Thailand who hustle American men. For them, it's not called gold digging. They simply see American men as cattle. The guys are completely monetarily drained by the end of it all and the girl has built an empire of businesses. He becomes a sad, trapped, pate producing duck.

Oh just fucking stop. Who the hell are you to decide who is and who isn't a good model? I just can't right now. Troll, maybe? Bigoted entitled fool, I don't know? There are amazing cammers from all over the world and many of them do not speak English. Doesn't mean they can't create boners. I've met up with cammers from Estonia,Croatia and Albania. They all have the it factor and are so hot that men could care less about what's coming out of their mouths. You shouldn't either. This is pissing me off and I can't be involved. I've said too much already. I'm out.
