traffic on streamate is down.. its like ghost town.. looks like ill be working overdrive sunday-thursday. . because weekends are wayyy to iffy
and the gawd awful tech issues this past week eeeek

Yes. It. Is. I don't even know why I bother working on Fridays anymore.. I signed on tonight and I sat in open for over an hour doing nothing. Just 5-10 guys sitting not talking the entire time. Seriously cheap desperate lonely losers begging and lurking like weirdos because it's Friday night so this is their big plan for the night. Which is weird, because I was looking at my Tumblr earlier this week and I saw I posted a screen cap from a year and a half ago and I had 90+ people in my room on a Friday night, my most busy night of the week at that time. I would normally work from 8pm until 3-4am most Fridays. I can't believe how much the crowd on the site has shifted in the last 4 years, let alone 2. Now it's like well what can I make to top off for my goal on Friday. I don't understand how SM can claim that a huge chunk of my earnings goes to traffic when it's clearly not there anymore. Whatevs. The upside to this is that this just motivates me to get my goal done with by Thursday. I am trying to stop relying on SM being my main site any more because I can't see this being a good sign for the site in general. Sad. /endrant

We've seen models go from middle of page 2 to 3rd row of page 1 in about 5 minutes (and drop almost as fast), as well as models in the lower part of page 1 hit the #2 spot after a single really good hour. I've always assumed the placement was fairly dynamic according to a hidden scoring system which updates in real time...at least since about 6 months or so.

Interesting. The only time I've seen my placement move that fast was when my bitrate was doing weird things. I've had a strangely great week and I haven't budged. It's like I'm just stuck in the same exact place no matter what.

@SarahTime .. i havent cammed consistently in over a year and im working hard to get back to front page and top row of certain categories.. i was at poor and now im at Average for hours im like 70hrs in since 3rd week of March .. Ive only missed 4-6days of no cam since then. and im just now starting to see that my placement is moving up . so im thinking consistently logging in & increasing my prices & staying in exclusive is helping .. guys keep forgetting to rate me 5stars which i think would help a ton!

I look at this way .. how are these girl who cam in studios ahead of me? they have a schedule .. they clock in and literally seems like they cant log off till the clock hits a certain time..

Only problem I've been having is lagging. I checked other rooms (used different browsers AND laptops) & other models were lagging too. This guy told me I was choppy but still took me private. Most would just leave but maybe the whole site was choppy for him so he was probably like fuck it lol.

My net and specs are great so Im blaming SM this time, hmph

I've had some custies say they've been disconnected this week. One of them had me in exclusive, and we got disconnected just as it was starting to get pretty good. I mean, so he says. I thought he had just bailed, but the next day I logged on and he came into my room and said that was what happened. The only reason that I am giving any sort of weight to that claim is because a few others have said the same thing.

My connection seemed to be just fine, however.

does the tv broadcast request ever cancel before you click accept? ugh I was browsing in a different tab on my IE then when I clicked on SM, the broadcast request canceled :(
I didn't get a chance to type in my goal or what ill do lol
hope I get another chance to have one. How often do you guys get tv show requests?

Most log off when the pay period ends.And a lot of girls are not on now because of orthodox easter.

I am doing OK tonight and there isn't many models online. Is this usual? I thought there is usually about 1300-1600 models online at this time (Saturday evenings).

The number of models online drops significantly after the pay cut off for the new week. There is a large amount of girls online before the cutoff hustling to make money last minute before the week is over. Once the cutoff starts the number drops drastically after that.

Hmmmm that must be why I had such a good night. Two tv shows in the first hour of logging on. I logged on about 15 mins after cut off since that's my normal hours. As long as I work my regular schedule I can avoid the last min crazy rush and swoop in afterwards for a lovely evening.

The number of models online doesn't matter. We are all unique. It really does not work that way.

^^^ Of course it matters, when there is less competition there is more business, when a lot of models are online placement is affected therefore chances to make money are lower. It's a competitive business, yes we are all unique but not everyone has the same chance to be seen & become popular.

Yes, it does actually.

Supply VS demand.

If there is a relatively steady consistent (give or take) number of guys and there is an over saturation of girls camming, then that means there is a higher supply of girls that demands called for. There is a huge difference in traffic for a girl when there is 800 girls online VS 2000.

YAWN! lol So slow. I am going to stay my ass online anyway though! I am aiming for 1,000 this week after one of my role models posted a screenshot of here earnings on Streamate last week! I'm feeling very motivated and hoping it stays this way!

I meant that as a good thing. I totally get the supply and demand thing, but I think other things matter more. Like being consistent with hours can help with being seen. It is a big site, so there will always be people who will find you and like you. Also there may be 2000 models online, but only 4 models online in your category or niche.

SM is glitchy again, been online a bit earlier and took a short break, wanted to get in but things are not working properly, i mean i am streaming but there is no picture, video is loading forever and i see in the log in file on encoder how frames are dropping, i stop streaming on encoder but in my browser i am still connected, people can enter my room still, this is just awkward cause once u stop streaming on the encoder it should take u offline completely but NO, i am still "Streaming"? WTF SM? Checked 2 rooms and it shows the same, no video loading at all.

Had more traffic today than usual, probably because so few models were on, but god damn were they just rude rude rude! I stuck it out and made my hours goal for the day but it was really brutal. Didn't your mommas teach you if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?

Is anyone else having issues streaming in HD... I am using encoder.. HD... everything is set right, but ... I don't have the HD by my name on SM ... Pushing me back 4 pages i have closed out of everything multiple times.. I'm assuming its them and not me??

Having problems today with my customers being disconnected from private chat, so I took some screenshots of our dialogue after they come back and I email support to begin the conversation and to send my screenshots... well, they told me that the customer needs to contact them, not me.

Is it just me, or does support just run me around in circles? They want proof of my issues, and now that I have proof, they don't want to talk to me about it.

Hi all! It's been a while. I've been sick for 6 months (haven't even streamed since September) but gonna start working again on Thursday hopefully. Had to ask SM to restore my account because they deleted me due to inactivity. Lost all my faves, the $40 of earnings which were floating around my account have gone, and am back down to 4 stars ... but still have Gold Shows. Silver lining. Gold lining. Whatever. Hope everyone's well.

Time to catch up. Only 100 or so pages to get through. :P

Hello everyone!

I started on Streamate recently. (Three days of work).

For some reason, I can't view my profile when I click the link from my dashboard. my friend tried to look me up, too, and he couldn't find me on the site (I was offline and he doesn't have an customer account, if that matters)


Why is that?

Do you have geoblocking on?

Check this link and see if you can look yourself up: yourcamname.cammodels.com / streamate.com/cam/yourcamname

Where u from? Certain countries are blocked for viewing profiles or going into chatrooms, SM blocks these locations by default. You can use vpn or proxy server to check tho ;)

is this one of 'those' days on SM? I have been off for 10 days or so because of Easter holidays ... The last time I tried I couldn't get on no matter what I tried and I thought I'd blown my camera. I got a new one and later on I saw on this thread that SM server had crashed that night (It was a Thursday).

Now I'm trying again and it's been a nightmare, just getting on. :( No visitors practically and zero pvts / or money. Guys are doing the seriously in-and-out, maybe one guy has said hi.

I guess it must be because I only see 1200 girls online, whereas usually at this time it's more like 1600 or so. :/ I need a cry. but not online and it was so hardddd just getting in.

Welcome back Alice.

Tigrillo .;.. I finally got the HD back on.. and got back to page one.. but Had a Reg in a exclusive block and he was kicked out and off the phone 4x's ... It was starting to piss us both off. I didnt bother getting dressed each time, just covered the cam
Today was my first day back on since March 26th. I wasn't all that busy and didn't help that i was so far back and didn't realize it for a few hours

Tigrillo
04-13-2015, 03:00 PM
an update: after I tried and tried and TRIED and tried, I finally got connected in such a way that 1. the quality wasn't too choppy and 2. it got my HD because otherwise I plummet down in placement and 3. it didn't completely crash adobe, the camera, and/or the pc. Once I managed that, it was almost business as normal. But I lost 1 hour of camming and I'm sure, about seven weeks of lifespan.

is this one of 'those' days on SM?

Yep. This morning was half-decent, but in the afternoon I was rocking $6/hr, and my feed looked like I was underwater.

My whole guest chat glitched out on me today! The whole room just went blank, aside from horizontal lines squished up in the top of the room. I had to completely stop streaming and reload the page to fix it!

Idk what it is, but I can't seem to get a single paid member in my room, let alone a private. I've been on sm for five days straight for at least 2.5 hours each. What am I doing wrong. I have a good.computer, good Internet, and a great webcam...

I just read this LOL here's the secret, act like you're busy, doing something important and can't be bothered with a private...then BAM! happens to me all the time when I'm still putting on my stockings...I've don't so many privates with just one stocking on! LOL

What's the current guess as to how long it takes placement to update? I have been doing awesome this week... I KNOW my placement should be going up... I've had tons of 5 star ratings and I'm finally past the "poor" rating for online time... first time EVER lol

you've been on the front page about row 3 or 4 when I see you. ;-)

I got inboxed that link and it just goes to the SM help area...I am on my iPad so maybe it doesn't work in mobile devices.

There were only two questions on the survey. Am I missing something?

I pretend to paint my nails. But really it's an empty bottle with water in it. I don't do this all the time, but one day I had a customer give me a fat tip in free chat to paint my nails and have "girl talk". These other mofos saw that my nails were wet and kept taking me private. It happened three times. They just wanted to stop me and make me mess up my nails. So now from time to time I do the "I'm painting my nails trick". Or my toes. Then I make them tip to see how they come out. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
