My finance section is messed up again and saying I've made over $5800 this week and worked like 60 hours. Def not true. All my transactions are correct though and the last time it happened it all sorted itself out fine.

Hahahaaa major glitch: 15,000+ models on. Man, this whole stream drops cause I "stopped streaming" is happening so much. I'm just thankful it hasn't happened during a show.

anyone else have their placement all over the map?
I'm usually page 1, but I keep seeing myself on page 18... :(
I just got on cam and see the numbers (Bitrate and RTT) jumping from normal to abnormal, something is definitely wrong again, i use SMC.
At this point i wont even reconnect cause it seems useless if others have the same issues plus placement issues :(

Anyone else seeing placement as location based? If you're from the US you see models from the US first, if you're from GB you see models from GB first?
I hope they haven't changed it like this fucking hell. Most of if not all my customers are from a specific country that's not my own and if I'm not listed as I normally am I don't see how this is going to impact my traffic positively. WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS. ITS FINE AS IT IS. I'm panicking hard right now
Literally there are so many US models online, I'm literally gonna be page fucking 5 or some shit to American customers when I'm a first row model. What the fuck

are you logged in to a member acct?
if you changed VPN it shouldn't pick up the last visited which I suspect is happening but usually on the member acct and not the free chat.

nah not in member. I've cleared all cookies, all history everything so it shouldn't pick up on last visited. It's literally all the GB then all the US then all of Europe etc. If I change vpn to US, it's all the US, then GB then the rest of Europe etc etc
Maybe they're rolling it out to some countries first to test out the effects of the (shit) placement like the last time they changed it

I keep having this problem too. I upgraded my internet and my upload speed hovers between 16-20MB now and it's still the same. I don't have this problem on my other sites either. Support said clear my browsing data etc and that's not done anything so I've emailed them to let them know. I'll see what they say and post it here!

I dunno if this will help anyone but I switched my stream resolution from Auto to up to 720 and now my bitrate has shot up and is actually staying up.

Yep and I'm seriously panicking now. It's been so good this week and I started to think it was gonna be alright and now I have hardly any potentials and hardly anyone coming into my room and I bet it's because of this damn placement thing!! Hardly any of my customers are from my country.

I just tried this, but it made my feed look like a square box shape... and it made me look distorted... how did you get it to work for you?

Did you switch cameras? Or maybe disabling them under devices and then re-enabling could help. After that try rebooting.

Same! I had an awesome time last week and this week it's just like you say, hardly anyone and the potentials are down. It sucks because we all work hard and from my personal experience I worked hard to get to row one and two and now they're going to shit all over it? I was stressed last time they messed around with the placements but this is just the icing on the cake really.
I don't see how it's going to benefit ANYONE changing the placement for potentials and customers to this.
Judging by you guys replying here, it seems to be only GB seeing this placement. Which leads me to believe they are testing it out. But testing this out is messing with our money. If that ain't a dick move idk what is

I checked on my custie account and no issue with placement, same models. I was seeing Eastern Europe, US, UK, Colombia just like always.
Maybe this change is only for non logged users (which would explain the lower potential no).

Mess with Mic settings. I go through each individually then wide pops into place. The square for me shows up distorted.

Is anyone else still getting repeat disconnects and choppiness/buffering on their streams? I'm so fucking annoyed lmfao, every time I've logged in this week I've had to sit there restarting my stream until it goes through. At least four people have come in in the last five minutes, then left because of issues with the feed.

It takes me at least 3-4 attempts to connect to SM, has all week. And my audio works for some, but not for others. Its driven my earnings WAY down this week.

Seriously considering filing a lawsuit again SM for pain & suffering because my earnings are very erroneously showing up as having made like $7,500 this week and when I first logged on for a split second I got REAL delusional thinking maybe something incredible happened and a custie tipped me like 22k or whatever offline out of the blue for no reason at all whatsoever LMAOooooo

Are you in one of the California studios? Someone else was having a similar issue. Maybe check in the AB5 thread to see what's going on.

^^Damn, have you put it on auto then messed with mic settings, or refreshed the page? I'm not sure how others navigate this, but I use the mic settings and it works...however sometimes it takes unplugging the cam, setting it on auto, refreshing the cam settings, choosing my HD, then messing with mic settings until it pops back to wide.

I've been on pages 15-18 the past week. I'm now on middle of page 2 -- hoping it stays...I'm always on page 1.
But I've been seeing a lot of page 1 models on pages 15-18 with me too lately...

Streamate is fucking with my money. And messing with my money is like messing with my emotions, Smokey.
My audio has been an issue for the last hour and a half. Guys have left private sessions because the sound magically cut out on them. I keep getting “do you turn sound on in pvt bb?” and it’s explaining why I’ll have 10 minutes of straight tips and interaction and then..... suddenly the guys will just stare at me like they don’t know what to do. One guy even left a premium show and switched over to exclusive and, since he still couldn’t hear, he left.
I’ve been checking my room and sometimes I can see that my sound is definitely fucking up and then other times the sound is fine as far as I can tell but guys are still leaving because they can’t hear me.

^^Happened to me yesterday. I had to refresh page then go as far as shutting down laptop then restart. It was a pain in the ass. Must have been like that for an hr before a reg said he had no sound. I prolly lost shows due to it. Upsetting for sure.

Have you tried checking from a members account, or asked someone who has one? For several pages people have talked about this. If you don't have a members account I can check for you if you send me a DM. But your placement will always vary throughout your shift and differs from who is available, customer preferences and your hourly. If you haven't already, please go back a few pages and read up. SM might be mixing things up right now to give more exposure to different people. Some people could definitely use it even though they aren't open to doing this for all models.
