I'm curious -- I'm new to SM and I've downloaded the External Decoder (what clusterfuck trying to get that thing going). I have a Logitech C920 that I've set up with it,but I DO NOT LIKE not being able to see myself on cam while the SM screen is up. How do you girls juggle this? I want to be able to see and respond to who is in the room, who is in private chat, etc and message with them AND see myself on cam. How's it done?

By making chatroom window smaller, same for the encoder window, u can change picture view too, from 100% to less, u can change windows size to fit on ur screen and keep them one next to eachother :)

First let me just say the site is working great for me today. I have no glitches and the traffic I would expect for a Saturday! So keep trying it!



If your placement is dropping make sure to check your ranking page, while your on line, and make sure you roundtrip time is good and your time on line is good or excellent. I find if my round trip time drops I lose placement fast.

For Comments you have to go to your profile on the site and in the tabs below your video feed you will see one that says comments. Its stupid but that is the only way to see it unless you go to the customers profile they will show there under the sessions tab. Thank you! For some reason I still can't see them though. How weird.

SM is still screwing with me in general. I've been on an hour and a half and my screen has frozen four times and my one Exclusive got booted out :/. I did get approved for gold and t.v shows though so I'll have to look into that

Im top row, first page. Im a pornstar with my own fan base and I never ever ever go on SM and have less then about 10 people in my room at all times. Yesterday there was 3 to 4 people at any given time and the guys were freeloaders. I never deal with freeloaders on this scale anymore and I dont even know how to handle it! I mean they think they are so smart and they try to get me to show tits, ass, pussy and talk dirty to them and then they complain that my rate is too high and even laugh at how much I am asking.

WTF! I realize now that when you have a room full of guys wanting your attention and taking you prvt/excl these LOSER guys dont even bother with you. I feel like SM left me out like carrion for the vultures today. Fridays are rarely a big money day for me but I seriously made 40 bucks in 3 or 4 hours. That was all I could take of this abuse. I know I sound like a princess right now but I have worked my fucking ass off (literally) to be a princess!

I have seen a lot of other girls turning towards MFC and other websites. I have always enjoyed SM but I might just head off to MFC as well. I just wonder how long it will take to set up a profile with them cause I need to be making monies.

I spent Thur afternoon during SM hell week and "applied" to be approved for MFC. By that night I got the approval to create my profile. Which I'm doing....soon

I want to give you ladies some hope. I was able to make over $600 tonight. In like 5 hours. And that is before the bonus.

Yesterday (Friday) was slow traffic but I hung in there for my usual hours and didn't have any glitches to report. Just slow traffic. I did end up making my daily goal, just took a little longer. And looking my week's earnings I made my weekly goal. My daily goal in $250 and I'm on mon thru fri 10 to 3/4pm. I usually make a little more than that, but hey, despite the issues I stuck it out. I'm so hard headed.

Yeah.. please tell me all about how its "fixed". I've been booted from more than one show today.... plus for the past 2 hours, this has been my life... on for 10-15 minutes, then frozen, then booted. Wash, rinse, repeat.

No. Should show up in my account, the studio can't do nothing to stop it somehow. I actually talked with the owner yesterday.
I am thinking that SM maybe won't give that 20% for the cammodels earnings, those are the only ones I have right now, cause I didn't work. But I remember seeing on their twitter it applies to all earnings, even if they are affiliated ones.
Can somebody write here when you get the bonus for your cammodels links? I would really appreciate it. :(

Hope not, Ivy! Those are still my money. I have $70 yesterday and today from what my guys spent with other girls. Hugs.

Tonight was the first day I didn't really put much into it (after an exhausting morning) and I had my highest earning shift all week in 1/2 the hours.. too bad I'm too tired and want to do a 6-7 hour shift tomorrow afternoon or I'd stay. Seems like when I'm not trying I do the best, lmao. Things were definitely better it seemed, time to get a nap get refreshed and put my happy go lucky hat on for a long shift with the mindset things might be getting better and make a killing!

same here!!! one day SM hates me... next day when im sad and dont want to work then loves me... i think sm is bipolar

Did u guys receive ur bonus for 8/21/2015?I only see bonus adjustment for 8/22/2015.I thought the bonus period started on 8/21/2015 GMT time.

I think that's actually the bonus from 8/21 but it was applied on 8/22 so the bonus from whatever you earn today will be on tomorrows etc.

When I was with a studio they'd take all the referral payments I was getting by promoting my link. I thought my ads just didn't work and continued pimping my link like mad. Then I had a few guys (who'd already spent on me) tell me they registered through the link I had on my twitter profile - but I never got any referral bonuses... I asked the studio manager and they told me there was nothing, but I already knew it was bullshit and it was the last straw that made me leave them. So, it could be the studio just as well.

I never had a problem with my affiliate links, and my longest client on those has almost 1 year. We don't split them, they just take 5% from the 30%. But always, at least, so far, I got the full part of 40% and 20% extra from my cammodels link. I'll message the owner to give me an explanation.
Hope this doesn't turn into a scandal, I'll say fuck it and leave. My glass is full. Had enough shit from them during time.

yeah, tell me about it. i've had a couple of gold shows today which went ok, but custies are complaining about constant buffering when trying to go pvt, no issues in fc or gs, only pvt.... i did get my bonus though, not as great as i was hoping but better than nothing i guess

Okay my bonus was 18.76 but then they took a cut out of the bonus which made it only 6.57 and are they kidding really? Who takes a cut out of the bonus! On top of that it seems they are only giving you 20% of YOUR CUT. I thought they meant they were giving us an extra 20% like instead of making 35% we made 55% for the TOTAL earnings me made for the site, but all they are doing is giving us a crappy 20% off our total earnings after they have already taken THEIR chunk out. So not worth it at all. I was camming extra long thinking I was finally getting a 50/55 split and it was for a pitally $6 and it was hard to even get that since all of us were trying for it so many girls on to compete with made it tough.

So of the ladies who are working SM right now who are NOT on the front page... Do you think this is sort of the end of Streamate? I didn't exactly bail on SM, but about a month ago I decided to sign up for indie because a fairly consistent $7-10/hour just was not doing it for me. Now obviously SM isn't gonna completely go the way of the dinosaur in the next few months, but do you think it's going to be on par with ImDead within a year or two?

Obvs you guys don't have a crystal ball... But I'm wondering if the site earnings saturation will be more like MFC after this, where the top page of performers make really good $$ still but the performers lower down in ranking will make more or less a pittance.

I don't know what you mean? I made $234 yesterday and they paid me a streamate bonus that showed up in my earnings for today for $45.41 its in the next days earnings .. now I clicked on Pay adjustments and it says $1.43 which I have no clue what that's about?

I honestly think that the technical issues are to blame. Yes, in the short term, there will be less paying traffic because guys will be wary, but IF Streamate can actually fix this shit show, then the spenders and traffic will come back. That's just how it is. SM has gone through plenty of rough spots and come out ahead. They'll come through this one too, but only IF they fix their shit.

I mean they are not giving you a 20% bonus off your total earnings (Like if you made 100 for the site, your normal cut is 35 but if you had a 20% bonus your new earnings with the bonus should've been 55) Instead they are doing it like this (You make 100 for the site, you get your $35 normal cut and then they are taking that $35 and adding 20% of what 35 dollars is) It bullshit, so not worth the time of thinking you are gonna make up for their shitty site being so glitchy for weeks and weeks. On top of all that mine was still have glitches last night!

Oh ok, I see what you are saying.. I was confused because I thought of it as exactly the way it is.. The way they explained it. 20% off what you earn.. Not what you earn the site.. So that's why I was wondering what you were talking about ..LMAO.. I NEVER think about how much I bring in 100% far to depressing. ROFLMAO.. Thanks for clarifying.

So of the ladies who are working SM right now who are NOT on the front page... Do you think this is sort of the end of Streamate? I didn't exactly bail on SM, but about a month ago I decided to sign up for indie because a fairly consistent $7-10/hour just was not doing it for me. Now obviously SM isn't gonna completely go the way of the dinosaur in the next few months, but do you think it's going to be on par with ImDead within a year or two?

Obvs you guys don't have a crystal ball... But I'm wondering if the site earnings saturation will be more like MFC after this, where the top page of performers make really good $$ still but the performers lower down in ranking will make more or less a pittance.

I am on the first page and I will tell you that something is not right there on SM. My issues began several months ago. But honestly if I look back on it its been off and on for over a year now. Many of my customers are using mobile devices. I am one of the rooms that will not load on mobile and all the other bs thats going on. Around the end of May is when I saw a difference. Contacted support. Was told it's on my end. Talked to other cammers and mostly "Mmmm I dont know what to tell you" I check their rooms and they show up just fine. "Hey have you tried positive thinking?" Riiiight my room doesn't load to over 50% of the traffic. Okay sure. But now they're starting to panic too. My money on SM has tanked. How the hell I maintain first page placement and sometimes middle of the page is a mystery...but not really. I don't know if they're going to vanish? IDK This is the first time that I've seen everyone experience the issues that I've faced for the entire summer. Or at least acknowledge them. Im not mad or bitter. I woke up feeling resolved and enlightened. Sara you seem to have the right idea by looking elsewhere to sustain yourself. The mere fact that you are questioning it says a lot. Im sorry If I'm not answering the question directly but I say trust your instincts. Start promoting and building for you indy stuff. This way when a site falters you can just laugh when it happens.

It's first page ladies too. Things have been bad for SM for a while now. If it wasn't for some regs, I'd be screwed. It feels like they just don't care. Like maybe they've made their profit and now whatever happens, happens. I've been thinking about stripping to keep up with bills, and that blows because I have terrible social anxiety.. it's the reason I started camming, but I just don't know. SM has been a mess, and this treatment for 65% of our income isn't fair.

SM is malfunctioning for a longer time now but not everyone was affected, i think what we experience now is a domino effect that reached top performers too, many of us including myself were hit longer time ago but as others were not affected our voices were not heard or people believed it's our fault.
Now when SM site crashes massively people understand what is going on actually.
Yeah, i am 1st page myself bottom rows sometimes higher on main page & 1st row on regional page & there is no traffic in my room like it used to be & my members get cut off or cant connect or it shows i am in pvt when i am not or old regulars say they did not see me online for ages and is doing this for months not just recently like for many of u guys. Look, i am real here not a pretender, i dont sell in here, no links to my cam room or social media, i say what i experience, i dont wanna impress anyone, i am just real, IT'S HAPPENING FOR MONTHS for a lot of us.

Okay my bonus was 18.76 but then they took a cut out of the bonus which made it only 6.57 and are they kidding really? Who takes a cut out of the bonus! On top of that it seems they are only giving you 20% of YOUR CUT. I thought they meant they were giving us an extra 20% like instead of making 35% we made 55% for the TOTAL earnings me made for the site, but all they are doing is giving us a crappy 20% off our total earnings after they have already taken THEIR chunk out. So not worth it at all. I was camming extra long thinking I was finally getting a 50/55 split and it was for a pitally $6 and it was hard to even get that since all of us were trying for it so many girls on to compete with made it tough.

It was already discussed here a bunch and on Twitter how it's a 20% bonus of your earnings, not total added onto what the customer spends (which would be the 55% you're thinking of.) Technically you're getting 42% of what the customers spend, which is still a decent bonus. It all depends on how much you make.

I think the easiest way to think of it is this: for every $100 you earn, you'll get an extra $20 in your pocket. I made an extra $75 (my cut) from the first night of the bonus, and should be getting about $62 added on from last night. It's definitely worth it to me.

How could there be so little traffic? I haven't even seen most my regulars this weekend.. This is weird. Could something still be seriously wrong?

I'm personally NOT seeing any issues right now and I've been on for about 2.5 hours. I had one guy get DCed, but he really thinks it's his internet (not a great upload/download and wireless). The traffic is low though, which is due to dudes avoiding SM from all the glitches (in my opinion that is). I'm in the top 2-3 rows at the moment and it's slow as shit. If SM HAS fixed things (mostly) and continues to work out the kinks over the weekend such that the site regains true stability, the traffic will come back. If there's one thing Streamate is good for, we all know that it's generating spending traffic. It's the whole reason we accept such a low payout percentage. I'm remaining optimistic, personally, but I'm also going to go ahead with my plan to start working MFC 2-4 hours per day and building clients there. Streamate isn't going the way of the dinosaur by any means, but this is really reinforcing to me how important having a really steady back up is.

Its worth it to me as well. I'm just thankful they offered us this. They could have just ignored the whole problem and done nothing for us models. I have worked at Streamate since October 2010 and never had the issues that took place to make them offer this extra 20% of our earnings in the first place. Sure I've had moments that things seemed off...but those were few and far between. Yesterday was tough for me..I had the traffic but it was men that didn't want to spend. That's just the way it works sometimes. I made $85.73 in three hours yesterday. I got my bonus today....$17.15 for my time yesterday. That bonus made me happy. With it I can buy my kids thier school supplies. Today was rocking for me. $302.00 in three hours and you can bet your ass I will be even more happy to get the next bonus tomorrow...which will be $60.00. THANKS Streamate for thinking of us. XOXO

I know girls are hustling so the competition is hard. But if you have your regs, it all adds up. Personally, this extra 20% has helped my mood and I had a great time these last two days. I"m more determined and my smiles are contagious. Just being happy shows on cam. I wish Streamate would consider doing this once in awhile for us girls. Little bonuses here and there.

Happy Camming girls :) XOX

I usually never have issues even when I see a lot complaining but I'm getting guys in private being kicked out and guys seeing black screens, all intermittent issues. Definitely still there are problems happening.

I used to ban peepers but I'm finding a lot of these guys tonight just can not stay connected so I'm being more cautious than usual at banning guys.

Oh, look. And now the glitches found me. Good regular came private and my video started lagging, then chopping/freezing, the started working again, repeat until it DCed him. He came back and it was fine--right until we said our good byes and it was back to choppy!

FIX YOUR SHIT MORONS!

same here!!! one day SM hates me... next day when im sad and dont want to work then loves me... i think sm is bipolar

I really have to agree with you there! Last night when I didn't feel like it and worked 2.5 hours I made more than in 5 hours today! Haha its insanity, I KNEW I should have stayed but I'll still call this week a win because with all the glitches I only fell 50 short of my goal, so I'm happy, my body isn't happy, I haven't had much sleep, I'm tired but I'm glad I worked hard through it to accomplish close to what I wanted. On to a new week, can't sleep much till Tuesday after 8pm, shit. Working on my usual nights off until the bonus is over.. I might die come then, I'm unsure, lol.

Many of my customers are using mobile devices. I am one of the rooms that will not load on mobile and all the other bs thats going on. Around the end of May is when I saw a difference.

I SERIOUSLY thought I was the ONLY one that noticed this! I went for surgery at the end of May and prior to that It was booming! I was ALWAYS IN pvt nonstop and only had to work 2-3 hours a day and 15 hours a week to complete my goals, I thought taking so much time off during surgery and the summer that is why my traffic was lower but it makes complete sense! Atleast 40% of my traffic comes from mobile clients (its the way of the future, obviously) and most of the time it doesn't even work right so its really hurting us because they can't get mobile to function like it should! Now I'm having to work double the amount of hours for the same amount, sure its still decent money but I thought it was just me noticing that since the end of May its gone downhill. Prior to that it was busy like that for me for a year and a half, constantly in pvt, being able to have a life and not having to work over 20 hours a week. This past month has been even worse now that I'm getting back into putting more than 15-20 hours online a week. Oy, this is nuts, I wish they'd just get a decent mobile platform and fix the issues with cams loading and stuff... frustrating, grr.

Couldn't agree with you more. the 55% would have been nice but I like seeing the extra 60-100 dollar bonuses on my days for money I would have been earning anyways. Just the extra hours during the glitches blows.

I didn't really have any complaints today, I think it was just slow, for the first time my feed wasn't pixelated the whole time, my round trip time maintained well, and I didn't have but one custie booted from a pvt and he said that his internet was wonky. It is the end of the month and kids are getting ready to go back to school (for those who haven't already) which means more and more dads will be available for playtime, I think there should be an overall improvement in traffic from the summer deadness in the next upcoming weeks (providing SM stays stable and doesn't scare away any more traffic with issues!)
