Its very Inconsistent. You have to go in knowing that. I worked 1022am to 1222pm and made 23$ on a Monday!! But what can I do but take a little break and come back. Try..try and try again

My $$$ also increased on SM when I reached out to other girls who are still making money and putting in the hours.

What is their secrets? Is there something I'm doing or not doing that's hurting me? Is my stream shitty? Does my attitude suck? Am I not putting enough hours? Is everything where they should be 'Excellent' under ranking report?

.... because it's always easier to just blame Streamate.

^^ Great point Marina. My hours were never very consistent, and I know that hurt me. Plus I had a pretty negative attitude towards it most of the time, which I'm sure guys could pick up on.

Marina Starr

I'm glad you didn't take offence because I've been there... my stream was shitty then my attitude followed.
I was working less and less and making less. Instead of blaming SM, I had to change what I was doing that was hurting me.

Yeah, the inconsistency really bothered me. One day I'd make $200 in a couple hours, next day I'd cam for 4 hours and make $35. I quit because I realized making clips would be a more profitable and efficient use of my time. Hard to gamble away an entire day in free chat with no guarantee that I'll even make anything.

Like you, I was doing very badly on SM last year, and went away to grow my phone characters etc. In about May, I've gradually added SM as my one and only freechat site, and have been doing much better. The key difference? Not letting myself spend so much time in freechat on a slow day that I won't be able to *also* do more of the business-growing, money-generating activities. The inconsistency and inefficiency doesn't seem to burn as badly when I know that I've also recorded a bunch of audio clips, shot some photos, picked up an indy show here and there, etc.

It feels much better than last year; hope it's the same for you!

My fps keeps going below 29, right now its at 26 but Ive seen it go as low as 16 at times. Is this something on sm's end or do I need to get the cable company to come out? And what do I tell them, the reason I want my internet checked? Or what do I tell them to look for?

I am using the smbroadcast too and my video quality says 800x448...Logitech 920c, gaming pc 16 ram.


I did a speed test and that looked ok but the highest upload I can get is 6 mb

I have a new gaming laptop i bought 2 months ago and im hardwired and the last month my fps drops to 15 to 26..my lighting is the same.. Room the same..net the same.. I think its something on sm end. My cam friend is having issue as well and she has super fast net and Alleniware laptop hardwired.

does anyone else like, not ever get anyone at all on Free Chat anymore? I mean, not that I miss them... but it's been months since I've heard a sound of someone entering my room and it's from fomeone in free chat. I'm sure they're still there lurking, but they don't register on the chat anymore, at least for me.

I just got one and almost passed out!!!! Hahahahaha! I used to have so many! I used to even chat with them. I haven't seen one in MONTHS!

Yeah mean the freechat at the bottom of your chatroom? Oh, I blocked them all from my view 3 yrs ago. I often forget it's even there. I don't allow it, lol. If you wanna come in my room, you better have proof that you actually have funds to spend aka a CC. Boy bye.

why do they keep rejecting my photos of my ID/me holding my ID?? I tried using the same one that was approved by MFC and then tried taking a better one but nope. What the heck. I've been trying to start on this site for like almost two weeks now because each time I submit it takes a few days to go over and reject them -___- argh

My fps has been very glitchy for like a month now. Basically any time I get up and move around in front of my cam or anytime I move the cam itself around my fps will start dropping. Fortunately it tends to re-stabilize quickly but it's still weird because this used to never happen. I thought maybe it was my cam because it was old, but now I'm using a new one and it still does the same thing.

I can't use the Broadcaster for this reason. My fps and CPU are ALL over the place. I use the Encoder. I think it knocked back my placement, but it works.

The past 3 weeks on streamate has been a nightmare .I cant stay connected ,ive tried the broadcaster,encoder,hd option ,you name it ive tried it.
It so bad !!! im showing up on page 3 or further .I went from making a living to 20 dollars a day or less cuz im not showing up on the site.Im mortified.

This has been getting worse every week.I restarted my computer to factory setting and its still acting up.if it wasnt for indie i would be panicking and be scared shitless.

I mean im still nervous because because streamate is 60% of my inconme .I'm showing up so pixaled .At this point im gonna stay logged on pixaleted cuz aint shit else working.

is this happening to anyone else?

Are your drivers up to date?
Have you tried multiple browsers?
Is your flash up to date?
Computer overheating?

Just throwing a few questions out there to see if one of them helps find the cause

I transferred to them also. They are great and support is awesome. I do see that I show up under new models but not the actual main page, is that what you mean?

Some of the drivers were out of date.I updated them last night.Im not sure if the factory setting was the reason for outdated drivers.I use internet explorer it says it has built in flash.No my computer wasnt over heating .Gonna do everything you guys mention and see if today is better.Thank you so much.

^^^Also test your speeds when it's happening and make sure they aren't dropping and that it's not an issue with your ISP. Also also my friend was having an issue where her fps would crash and disconnect her every time she'd start her stream and she ended up finding out that it was because of 2 Windows updates, she uninstalled them to fix the issue(although if that was your case I would think that the factory reset would have fixed that).

Why the fuck does the Broadcaster have to be so fucking touchy. It's given me SO many headaches.

----Wait a minute, are you saying that even when you just try to stream the old-fashioned way through the browser that your quality still looks messed up and you get disconnected? Or do you just mean that streaming the old fashioned way doesn't fix your placement?

Also are you using the latest broadcaster version? My friend was having issues once with the last one that were fixed by updating it.

I'll try broadcasting today without so many tabs open.The thing is the problem came out of nowhere.My computer is a beast so i didnt think browsing the net would effect SM.I Also splitcam 4 other sites while working SM but ive been doing that the last past 3 years with no issues.So not sure what could of change this month.Thank you for your suggestions .Ill also call Xfinity to make sure their ISP is not messing things up.

Just got a placement tank, today. Like 5th row of all categories, no where to be found, when yesterday and this week I was in the top 5 rows and have been making a great hourly on there. WTF?

The site is glitchy all over. The SMB was all over the place yesterday so I switched to the Encoder, still made decent cash right away. Anyway, I'll hustle my other eggs and hopefully things will be good again.

Have you checked your ranking page to see what your Bitrate is logging while streaming? I am seeing tons of complains related to a bitrate glitch today & yesterday and that would definitely fuck up your placement.

I wish that was the case. Bitrate is reading excellent at 1446.05 like everything else, outside of the 'in progress' for the FPS, but even that still says excellent.

Did you just come out of a pvt or exclu? I wrote about having a similar issue today in the SM venting thread.

Came out of one earlier, was cut short I believe because of the glitches. I'm off now, but gonna be logging on once I see they've done something to fix it. All I can say is thank fuck for having multiple eggs. I don't understand how a site can allow their models to tank like this. Like they must not like that $180 an hour they've been getting from me. Millions as a collective.

I don't understand what the problem is. It's driving me crazy and I'm just trying to stay on page Eight. The closer I get to the boys, the less I make. I was on the front page three days ago but I was using the broadcaster and I looked like shit. The stream looks better for me in had high but I think it's cuz of my lighting.Is there a way to use the broadcaster but without only seeing a tiny stream of me? I like to use my camera angles if you know what I mean and I can only either see me full screen or tiny
Also it's been two solid days of glitches. I actually signed up for a regular account and paid for a gold show. I've been lurking in this one Models room for months taking notes so I decided I should give something back. And it froze the minute it started and she actually hit $200 for her show . It froze for other people too that were in the show. How can they let this go on? She is usually in the first or second spot on the site. She worlds out of a studio in the US so she's got good equipment. Two of my exclusives in cam to cam were cut short cuz of a connection issue on his side which means the site I'm sure
What's funny is I wrote the a nasty letter as a customer and they replied right away at three am. I said I didn't want my money back cuz I didn't want her to get a chargeback. I can't remember if they do chargebacks there. I've only been there for a few months and sporadically . But that the glitches are on their side. They gave me a promo credit and said basically that it was probably my fault but in a nice way but the moral of the story is that their support does read the stuff and they will reply quickly for custies. Aren't we making them the money? I mean I know there will always be a new batch of models but the majority leave rather quickly for many reasons. Regulars account for much of my business on all my cam sites. Who's to say they would all stay? I mean I'm sure they would but you know what I mean. A bird in the hand...and all that
Whatever I just wish they would fix it. it's costing me money when I get cut off and while I'm used to bad placement , I'd like to be as high as I can.
The next day after I was on pg one, I tried out SM broadcast , obs and hd high on my laptop and then on my iPad and I had better placement on hd high on my laptop so I have no idea how I got in page one that day but I sure did get a lot of people and tips. I would obviously prefer that to pg eitght lol. I'm gonna have to upgrade my lighting

We shall see. Had some friends working around that time on there, was still bad. Also, until that RTT gets fixed, I don't believe 'em.

Did good money-wise, but glitches were awful (like, video disappearing a few minutes into a pvt so people had to reenter). Very frustrating. I'm not even mentioning the usual shit like c2c not working or my feed not loading.

Last night I had streamate and cams keep kicking me off. I have them set on two separate machines . So now I know when things go down it's because of the site and not my set up.

I am SO fucked off with this site. SM kept kicking me off every 5 mins and some wanker rated me a '3' as SM kicked me off again, even though I told him the issues. Fucking assholes. Done with this site for good.

I got booted a few times today, too. It's ridiculous.

I got booted 2 times with my favorite customer in my room, never even made it to exclusive, there was the sound but no pop up, (showed up 5 minutes later)I would be pissed if I were him. They treat these generous clients like shit, zero explanations etc yet freeloaders can hop around for hours without spending a dime. Why isn't it kicking me off when my room is filled with time wasters who only want tell me how much they love me and that they can see what a wonderful soul I have? Tech hiccups seem to happen when things are going well, took me a second to get out of that funk.

Just curious to what everyone is using to stream on streamate? I was using the encoder but I've been using the smbroadcast for several months but I keep getting crappy stream.

I thought about switching back to the fmle encoder but I don't want it to affect my placement:( Does anyone know if using the fmle encoder affects placement right now?

I use FMLE. I don't even bother with SMB. Why would your placement drop if you're using the recommended settings?

Idk...lol, I wasn't sure if they made it to where the smbroadcast was the primary broadcaster yet or not to where if you used anything else that it would affect your placement

You get a slight placement boost for using the SMB, but not enough to use something that doesn't work for you. As long as you're still streaming with an encoder at the recommended settings you should be just fine.

I am trying to set up the fmle encoder because I had to do a reset on my pc several weeks ago but every time I try to put in the settings, it crashes on me:( Anyone know why it keeps crashing and how to make it stop so I can put in the settings?

OMG has anyone else gotten the cavity search fetishist yet?? He kept telling me to be serious and act like I was getting arrested but I was fucking DIEING inside the whole time because the whole thing was so hilarious. I don't get alot of fetish shows so this one was such a treat.

^^Is it bad to read that, assume you meant dental cavities at first and think 'Yup I've had him.' Because that's what I just did.
