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

I have geoblock on since i started out 6 years ago.

dont know for others, can only speak for myself... but it didnt stop me from making money

Maybe traffic is lower, no clue since i never worked without... but isnt it about converting sales, and quality regs instead of high in and out and loads of timewasters?

I'm considering trying this out, but if we were to add geo block now, would that mean we lose all custom from that country? So if we did have some decent regs in the UK, then geo-blocked it, they'd never be able to find us again? Assuming they aren't using a VPN

It's been so bad on SM for me that I can't even manage 20 hrs any more. I used to log 35-40 hrs a week when the money was coming in...now? It's so painful that 20 hrs seems like 40 hrs.

I'm making a fraction of what I used to and it feels so hopeless. I'm looking into two different ways to generate income as SM can't be counted on.

My placement has tanked severely and it seems as tho my regs have all disappeared. Foot fetish and Femdom used to be so good there, and now it's all history.

My low goal hardly gets met with 4-6 hrs streamed. I just can't bear this. I'm running through my savings fast and it's scaring me.

Oh hun you poor thing. I find it helps to split my shifts, so 4 hours morning, 4 hours evening or late afternoon. Giving yourself a log break helps. It is painful at the moment but it WILL PICK BACK UP AGAIN. I am joining another site too as a back up and most ladies I know who cam on SM are doing the same. What about selling content on Many Vids and Clips for Sale too. I know they like niche stuff xx

I am wondering what's happened and why it's gone like this though.

It's been slow for me also, but I notice if it's slow on one site it's not necessarily slow on another. If you can't splitcam then sign up for some sites you can run without streaming like Niteflirt (you can set up a cam listing), CMD, Skyprivate, etc. It really helps a lot and I love the security of having multiple deposits coming in.

Also doing clip sites and OnlyFans helps a lot too.

oops - posted this before I noticed the above post basically saying the same thing, but I totally agree. I'll never depend on just one site any more.

Last and previous years I had about 250 for 4 hours in September. Today I had about 16$ for this time. I bought a new pc, posting in twitter with 12k followers when I online and my room the same empty as before? it seems I have to work very-very hard to get someone in my room. I`m just sitting and crying now.

I think everyone’s earnings are down by sounds of it:( we have been through major changes globally which may be affecting customers’ spending habits. It will get better but it’s very painful. I did 8 hours today and had to really motivate myself to stay happy and up-beat. Big hugs xx

Been sitting at $13 bucks for 2 hours so far. What sucks is I dont have intense goals. I'd be happy with $50 bucks and over the moon with $100 every time I signed on. But just getting $1 gold is like pulling teeth.

Same here. I posted here 2 days ago something like that and I was sitting in Zero for few hours. I logged off. Yesterday was the sameee... 2 pvt in 5 hrs. Nonexistent traffic. This week is horrible atleast 4 me. Past week was normal. Idk. :"(

Yesterday for 6 hrs $32 and today for 4.5 $78

I feel you. It's been real tough!!!

Yeah, since my placement has dropped by like 4 rows traffic to my room is like nothing really. And my regs just aren't around.

I'm usually really optimistic but 5 weeks of poor earnings is really alarming.

I can actually split now and I'm considering a few sites. This new laptop is great and super fast. It will def be able to handle splitting.

Anyone else have customers complaining about black screen in exclusive? Literally every guy that's taken me exclusive the last couple days has complained that my screen went black during the show randomly and had to leave and re-join a show. I tried switching browsers but it's still the same issue.

I had that problem on this mornings shift. My next shift no one said anything about a black screen during shows

Can anybody update us about the Happy Hour? I’m working and would rather stay online.

This is a quick and dirty update of what I recall.


Video galleries

Vanessa discussed the video galleries, fanclubs and the free videos to promote ourselves.


Piracy and DMCA Takedowns
A model asked if members were allowed to screenshot and record our shows.
We discussed how to find the content and have it taken down.

If models does find that their shows and/or content has been uploaded to a website without their permission. Message support with the direct link to the content and ask for DMCA takedown.


Raceplay and Hate Speech (and other Shows against terms)

A model brought this up as it this has been a growing issue.
The Streamate team clarified that hate speech is against the terms of the site and is also against the terms of the payment processors.

Technical issues with the website
A model also brought up the issue with the amount of technical issues on the website and the amount of time that it takes to hear back from support.
Liz mentioned that they are looking into ways of improving this.

These are the main topics that were discussed. There was a lot of talk among new models with new comers questions as well. This is just what I got from the call- I did get kind of overstimulated by the call as there was a lot of people talking all at once at various points in the call.

This might be one of the slowest shifts I have ever worked. i have been on the front page in the top 2-3 rows since the spring and today I am on the second page, like 70+ models back. Not sure why when the last shifts I worked I made over $100/hour, I have HD, and high speed internet. Just crossing my fingers this isn't my new placement forever. When I do gold shows I have my regular spot in the top row of the gold show tab. Very weird.

edit to add: My potential viewers are 5-8 ppl when its normally 60-80 ppl at this time of day/week

This site has become UNWORKABLE for me now. My bitrate has been fucked up ALL WEEK and my Lovense toys haven't connected to the site all week either (half my income). I'm going to have to sell my fucking car just to pay bills..... This is so incredibly discouraging.....:(:-\

When i had bitrate issues it was my ISP. I called and had them change the channel and it worked. As far as the tip vibe goes...can't help there.

Page 2? Now I'm on page 2?!?! Gutted. 3500+ models on and I've fallen to the back. I'm totally pissed right now. 6 potentials and a dead room. WTF?!?!

When i had bitrate issues it was my ISP. I called and had them change the channel and it worked. As far as the tip vibe goes...can't help there.

Thank you for the tip! I did that and they said everything looks super clean on my end. (I ALWAYS check my side before blaming the site.) SM is the only site I'm having issues with........

edit to add: My potential viewers are 5-8 ppl when its normally 60-80 ppl at this time of day/week


woah, what? I didn't know potential viewers could be that high on Streamate!

The site is just dead dead this week, which makes sense given all that has gone on this week. The month before an important election sucks, or at least 4 years ago it did for me, rechecked my numbers and it's noticeable.

My placement on both free and my customer account is the same as usual. I am in the top 3 rows usually and my the highest my potentials have been this week is around 75 when flashing which is usually my bored scrolling the internet number.

Hmm. I usually have 0-3 potentials maximum, but usually 0...

^Wanted to add I have geoblock on for my city so I don't know my site placement. Does this affect my potentials? Cuz it's really usually just 0 or briefly 1. That seems really awful but my traffic seems normal? (worse this week)

my understanding is that it will always be 0 with geoblock

so tonight was the first time I tried to stream on SM in 3-4 weeks. the whole snapshot profile picture thing is new to me. I had a mild anxiety attack trying to take a nice one, then accidentally hit "cancel" and it went straight to the "trying to connect" screen. Then it disconnected/couldn't connect.

are the snapshots mandatory or optional? like if I just hit cancel instead of taking one and clicking submit, does it connect to the live stream and then the guys just see our regular profile pics? it seems like a lot of models on the front page are still showing with just the static bio pic.

as for the disconnect issue -- not sure if that was a fluke or what, but i happened to get a skype offer so i went and did that instead. not sure if i'm gonna try to log on again tonight.

I just emailed them saying I wanted to be removed from the snapshots bc it kept taking ugly pics of me HAHA!

I also think so bec i have geoblock on and i never tracked or taking into account "potentials". Arent those the guest not logged in, who back in the days could even write to us (and you had the option to view this or just close that screen).

I almost forgot I was streaming. Hardly anyone is entering my room.

Yesterday I had ZERO privates and today I have had - let me count them - 19 privates lasting 10 seconds to 50 seconds. What the actual hell y'all?

edit - majority of users want to dom me (not a sub) or have tried to "trick" me into going exclusive for a fetish they refuse to explain. I deny them until they tell me and 100% of the time its been scat and piss. What happened to my quality traffic streamate?

I noticed we come pretty close together and we have been dropping down as the days go on. I noticed another girl I like to watch cause she rocks, used to be top row like all the freaking time for a very long time and is now more so then not, half way down the page. I cant even imagine the hit she is taking. I wish things would just make more sense. Its so frustrating cause its our homes and life that depend on it.

I don't have the snap shot option on my stream. Do I need to ask for it?

Is anyone else having the glitch again that keeps them from connecting to the Stream? No 502 Bad Gateway message but it's not wanting to connect. It keeps timing itself out :( I'm using SMConnect with the built in Encoder, too.

I'm getting the circle of doom that says it's verifying my stream connection but it won't connect. Been trying for 10 min now.

It's been taking forever for the stream to start ever since it first started happening, but usually if I keep starting and then disconnecting after a few seconds it will at some point actually connect quickly. Haven't tried yet today though. Last night at one point after logging on there was no one coming in my room not even potentials and so I checked the main page and the whole site wasn't loading. Was fixed after a couple min though.

Yeah, upsetting for sure. I used to be halfway with 3000 on, but 4 weeks of low paid % & I've dropped to the bottom of one. Yeah, how they did you was cold! Just cold!
