By all means you can make up a state or place you are from. Never tell guys on cam where you are from. I am very vague. I just say Midwest, that's good enough.

I usually say which coast I'm on, yet they still ask specific locations. I think they don't believe I'm American. Maybe I should I say I'm in Canada j/k.

Looking at my stream, it's suddenly not 16:9 anymore, but before it always was. Also my resolution on SM Connect is only 720 and not 1000 something like it was before. Is there any way I can change this back to normal?

Thanks so much

I noticed that a few hundred models logged off as soon as the contest ended; I wonder if it would be a good time log on? I'm too tired to find out!

I'll provide my data point for those interested in the earnings required to rank: my top three days came to $1316.82 and I ended up in the low 200's. This is my first time ranking in a contest. I had always assumed that making any rank at all was far out of my reach as a relatively new camgirl, so I never tried. I also watched my position as I made money throughout my shift, and I was surprised to see that my rank would change after being tipped just a few dollars. I was shocked at how close it was (at least in the range where I was ranking).

Thanks for the info Clio and well done for ranking. I noticed that in the previous comp, even towards the end $5 was worth 2 or 3 places in the 200-300 ranking.

Anyone else having an issue?

Exclusive Chat
$7.99 per minute

I was thinking of raising them again. Any advice?

Can't log on at all, it's either buffering forever or giving me the 502 bad gateway. At one point the page was finally loading but then it logged me out and it started all over again.

If you happen to have the customer's # you can use this link to block them if they're not in your room.

If you banned him, you can report him and send screenshot to support. I feel there was more racism on another network that allows free guest to chat. I'm only half white and I racist remarks about white people.

This is the WORST site for racism/raceplay I have ever been on. It's constant! I kick more dumb racist guys out of my room on Streamate daily than I ever had to in a whole month on any other site..... SMFH

Also, bitrate fucked all day AND my Lovense toys won't connect so I've lost a LOT of money! Fan-fucking-tastical!

Instant ban! Even if they don't say anything. I don't give them the chance to. I've had people come into my room with racist screen names or Trump bs. Instant. Fucking. Ban. Mommy/son anything. Banned! I'm about to start banning anyone with sissy or cuck in their name too. Either time wasters, cheap asses or campers.

Hi there
New to the forum. Currently camming on streamate, have been since March, I am in the UK. What's going on with SM traffic it seems non existent. I am wondering if this new placement thing they have done is affecting my work. I used to get great USA clients who tipped loads NOW I get UK guys who want to be my boyfriend (yawn). It's really getting me down. This site used to be so great. Does anyone know what's going on?

I'm a UK model too, I've been on for over a year and I can definitely say 100% that since they changed the placement, my traffic has changed. I have the exact same issue too that ever since the change, I have a constant barrage of British men to wade through who want to chat, date, or meet, nearly always anything but pay. I do have some British customers who are amazing, but they really are a very small handful in comparison to American and Canadian customers. It's extremely tedious.

I can't say for definite whether it's affecting my income, with the pandemic etc, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is somewhat. I'm adamant I'm reaching less people though and I'm trying to bring some of my own traffic now to combat it x

Same for me. I have a few great Brit regulars, but loads now who seem to think it’s some sort of dating site. When they say ‘Hi, I’m John 32 from London’ or ask where I live I know what’s coming. Truly dreadful at the moment.

Hi there
New to the forum. Currently camming on streamate, have been since March, I am in the UK. What's going on with SM traffic it seems non existent. I am wondering if this new placement thing they have done is affecting my work. I used to get great USA clients who tipped loads NOW I get UK guys who want to be my boyfriend (yawn). It's really getting me down. This site used to be so great. Does anyone know what's going on?

Girl I'm going through the same thing. Im also a UK model. Traffic has not been the same for some time (I first started in March too I think). Its so bad that these days I dread going on cam. I use to be excited to go on but now its just full of trolls and guys that ask 101 questions. Not very encouraging at all. My hourly is still kinda the same but now I have to work 10x harder than I use to. I'm now creating other opportunities for myself as I feel streamate is not a reliable source of income anymore. Theres plenty of other online sex work opportunities like Only Fans etc. I just can't spend my days infront of a cam with horrible clients anymore. Its feels like mental torture its so frustrating.

Maybe using geoblock and blocking the UK will help a bit? ....

Prob attracting the guys living in same country, whos only goal is to try and meet up... maybe you can cut down on it by geoblock and save yourself the time of those timewasters.

I hear you! I've been looking at other sites today because SM is doing my head in. I used to look forward to camming, now I am dreading it. I am hoping things get better as I like their set up, easy to use no hassle interface. Please listen to your models SM!

Many thanks hun but I thought geo blocking affects your traffic like badly....but if it stops these idiot Brit guys that might be the way forward xxx

Hi hun
I am exactly the same. It's actually getting painful! Are you on any other American sites? Any recommendations. Moved to SM from Adultwork to avoid the cheap skate Brits now SM looks like it's throwing me only the Brits....it is so frustrating xxx

Mainly Streamate but I've just signed up with CMD too. If I'm starting to work on bringing my own traffic then I might aswell do it through indie. I moved from Adultwork for the exact same reason, I got sick to death of cheap, British men looking for a chat, dating or escort meets. I have to internally eyeroll and really refrain from blocking every single guy who asks 'where are you from?' because almost every time, it leads to the same rubbish. I've definitely noticed an increase in people bitching about my rates too, since the placement changed.



My hourly is still kinda the same but now I have to work 10x harder than I use to.

This is where I feel like I'm at. My hourly is either the same or it drops a bit some weeks, but either way it's definitely a lot harder since they changed the placement, and a lot more mentally tiring.

I’m a UK cam girl on SM and after almost 2 weeks off, I’ve noticed it’s dead. Glad to see it’s not just me! Currently looking at other sites as we speak!

This makes sense and I wouldn't rule trying this out. But I'm wondering that if all of a sudden, we've gone from getting loads of traffic consisting of a mix of nationalities, to the placement changing, following with very little traffic consisting of mainly British guys.. then if we geoblock Britain, are we literally about to eliminate 90% of the majority of traffic we get? That would be my concern that we would then be left with literally next to nothing to work with. We would still have the same problem that who we reach seems to be majorly limited since the placement changed, I imagine?
