I find the contests a good motivator to stay online. ....this week I was going to do a 40hr week to get ahead with bills and expenses but ended up with a grand total of 10 :-/

Have you tried being online with your backup sites so you're covered for the inevitable exhaustion Sunday-Tuesday after the comp?

It’s not just me! This loser told me to do a gold show. I usually don’t, but figured as a business women I should do what I can. I thought maybe a good way to get new clients. Nope just cheapskates that want to see pussy for a few dollars.

All the girls seemed just as frustrated as me...at least it’s not just me

That isn’t your conversion rate, that is your paid percentage. We don’t actually know our conversion rate, that is when people sign up to the site(Sm or white label) so if you have geoblock your conversion rate will be lower because you are not available to all new users.

ohhh is eeee!! thanks!

Has anyone had any issues with members not being able to see the video stream?? This has never happened to me in the past 5 years yet all of a sudden this past week members just cant see me half the time. My stream quality is excellent, I'm hardwired and my computer is strictly used for streaming only! Is it just me or am I going bananas over a problem on streamate end?

Does SM not like the word "femdom"? Tried to put it in my room topic but it didn't work. I attempted "I don't sub" as an alternative and that didn't work either. Curious...

I do not sub either and I put all those things on my profile and topic daily! Maybe just a glitch? I have had issues with my topic before but not because of what words i put. SM has been femdom friendly to me for a long time

Yeah it's been an ongoing issue. I think (although I could be wrong) it's mainly a mobile issue or members that don't have a strong internet connection. One of my regular room visitors has to reload the room a few times to see my stream. I have had times where it's has happened in the middle of a show-it doesn't happen with all my viewers.

I would ask the members that are having an issue what type of device they are viewing the stream on, recommend that they reload the room, to view the stream and to reach out to customer support to resolve the issue.

same...still $100 is better than nothing during a pandemic. Im so going to date myself, but i danced during the Great Recession 2004 and it went from making easy money- wanna dance-to having to hustle hard. I never did extras-if you do that’s cool-but I firmly believe you should never doing anything in sex work that’s not in alignment with your higher self. Anyways, I think we are going to have to adjust to the new normal and that doesn’t mean under charging or doing more for less. Just acceptance of all we can do is grind and pray right now. Be grateful. There’s sex workers that are probably working the street for the same cause they have no other options. if we have food, water, and shelter that’s a blessing right now. Of course I’m new to camming, so I could be wrong.

Better luck tomorrow. Rest if you must, but never give up

^^You know, my BF is always stressing this point when I talk of frustration with SM. He says "baby, it's a pandemic and ppl are broke."

Yes, I hear this. It helps soften the blow of the reduction in earnings knowing it's hard for everyone right now.

You are right!

I had been stressing so much about not making my usual goals. A few days ago I decided to stop blaming myself. It's not our fault! I am lowering my expectations and feeling grateful that I am still able to pay my bills.

^^^ He rated only the show actually and somehow they can put a rate for the gold as well but only the show rating counts, it's kind of a glitch to show ratings with gold.

Has anyone submitted links for DMCA takedowns through support recently or ever? I submitted a couple of links on Tuesday, support got back to me and said they'd be dealt with but nothing so far.

I know the culprit sites aren't forced to do anything, I'm just wondering whether the requests might still in the pipeline or not.

Last time I did this, I went through Liz and it was all dealt with pretty quickly.

It usually takes a few good days for links to be removed. I haven’t reached support, but it took Youporn 2 weeks to delete some clips (both reported by Liz and Cammodelsprotection). So yeah, sometimes they be lazy! lol

Oh wow! When I last did this, I contacted some of the sites myself without filing a DMCA and they were taken down within hours, there was just one site being awkward where I had to get Liz to contact them and even that one was removed pretty quickly.

My expectations were set too high. I'll patiently wait!! Lol!

No, they can't rate for flashes. If they get a show and also tip during the show then rate, it will show their rating for everything even thought they only rated for the show itself. The rating only counts once.

Feeling your pain. Some poor guy tried 7 times to have his first show with me and was getting black screen after 2-3 mins. First time I actually wished I could give him his money back poor bugger!

This contest is tough! Just focusing on hours.

8.5/30 hrs

I did real good yesterday from 4-6pm cst hitting medium goal then did one more hour that totally wasted me. Several, yes...several, level 2 members came by and didn't do a show even with the free footjob vid offer. I was crushed and logged off an hour shy of my 4 hr goal.

I'm off today, but for some reason I wanna try again to see if I can snag some good shows.

Best ladies! May the force be with you.

I usually hit a wall on Wednesday energy and mptovationeise on a comp week but today I've spent more time napping and watching TV than working.

You know: even with excellent energy and my hustle game activated I AM NOT killin it. Rather just getting by. SM has been real tough for me 6 weeks n ow. I had to really UP my content game cause my regs totally abandoned me.

Hang in there sister. Fetish and Femdom not going so well for me on SM, but my clips store is really helping.

You got this!!!

I've literally made $0 in 2 hours, but I'm on the first page. Why am I on the first page? I'm tempted to try another network, but I know it'll be slower because I haven't cammed in years on it.

^^^ There is over 3,000 models online right now- that could play a factor. Placement is different for each user. If you take a look at the most recent streamate message it explains how placement works.

It's stupid quiet on my end as well. Like crickets quiet.

I think for most of us, I've made $15 in the first 2 hours of my evening shift but only dropped 15 places since early afternoon.

How do you see the total number of models online? I can only see it by certain features.

I wonder if it's going to be like this all week due to the contest. I actually never had it this slow.

I'm having the same problem, this week I go online and literally make only a few dollars. I get that my account is new but I had some favorites move over. It's beyond horrible and I noticed with this account with Boleyn Models I'm lower on the page then I use to be on my old account in New Models section. Don't know if it's that or the contest but I'm starting to feel there is no point of being online this week.

Every model has people leaving because of connection issues. As for them leaving after they ask a question, there is a delay for all customers sometimes 20 secs, maybe that wasn’t fast enough and they thought you were ignoring, maybe their sound was off and they expected you to type? People are on this site with crappy overextended WiFi signal. They leave on actual accident all the time because they are using one hand. There is no conspiracy, do they treat their more valuable salespeople better? Yep and that does suck

Sounds like your former boss has a chip on her shoulder and somehow got it in her mind that it is appropriate to belittle an employee with empty threats.

As for this contest, I’m actually doing pretty well so far but today I had to log off due to the deadness and stupidness, destressing then back at it.

there have been plenty of people on these forums that for years have been convinced of streamate conspiracy theories, like SM only sending good traffic to certain models, and only letting glitches happen to certain models. i think that's a load of BS. have you never had a good shift on SM? because if you have, your theory of everything being "rigged" goes right out the window. and if you've been on the site for a long time and have seriously never had a good experience, then i would say perhaps you need to switch up your hustle, get better tech, or try a different site.

complaining that a site like this is "unfair" is laughable. i'd love to hear what you think a "fair" site would entail, because there's no way to feasibly send "fair"/equal amounts of *paying* traffic to each model. let's just say for a moment that SM did give us all the exact same amount of traffic. it still doesn't mean that a user would spend on you over another model. one thing is for sure: guys have hugely different tastes/interests/reasons to be on a camsite, and no one is obligated to pay you just for checking out your room. remember, you are a performer but more importantly a salesperson, and it's up to you to convince your room to pay you. it's also my understanding that every user now sees a different mix of models based on their location, their cookies, who they've clicked on before/similar models to who they've spent on, etc. so when you go and look at your own home page and compare models side by side, it's not indicative of what other people are experiencing. you might be on row 2 for some guys and page 4 for others. (someone correct me if i'm wrong.)

now i do believe there is some favoritism going on (like super top models only getting a warning/slap on the wrist, while others get suspended for a week for the same offense). THAT is unfair, yes. but honestly, it makes sense from a business standpoint that they'd treat the girls who make them 20 grand a week different/better than the ones who make pennies. not saying it's right, it's just not surprising.

it's worth noting that a lot of new models have joined camsites during the pandemic, so this already highly-competitive industry has become even more saturated this year. now more than ever, models have to put in considerably more effort to stand out, attract customers, and successfully sell shows.

also consider that the girls you think of as "the chosen ones" might have a lot of factors working in their favor that you're unaware of -- such as already being established porn stars/being a recognizable name, working a LOT of hours therefore getting better placement, having a super engaging personality/always being "on" while online, etc.

a really simple piece of advice is to just stop watching/comparing yourself to other models on the site. focus that energy/time on your own hustle and see what happens.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you are understanding me. There was even a girl on here not so long ago on this forum, who said that during a contest week she had multiple members In her Room telling her, that they kept getting bounced And kicked out of her Room and landed into some other top model's Room. They kept coming back to her Room, but once again they would get kicked out and streamate i
would send the member into another girl's Room who happened to be top model with 20 + people. I sure as heck know on my end, I have had several instances where people have told me that they are getting kicked out from my Room. Imagine the girls with plenty of traffic in their Room who don't have members getting kicked out. Then there's the ones with barely any people in their Room, while they are getting kicked out. Literally. I also know that I've had many times too many to count , where somebody is actually allowed to take me private or exclusive, and they are instantly getting kicked out and never to return again. What about all those random guys that say hello how are you, or ask you a question and before you can even answered they leave? Is it a coincidence that this many guys would genuinely be intrested in asking you a question, and then they leave? I think not. You might say how can SM be rigged, and that there is no way to send an equal amount of traffic to every girl's Room, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying, for the real men that genuinely want to be in our rooms, and take us private, they are not allowed. They get kicked out! I know I am not the only one who's experienced this.

On the left hand side where it shows "Filters" Check all the Region boxes that will give you the total number of models online.

I've put 5 hours in so far, trying for 6 today. Traffic definitely has not been popping. This afternoon has been quiet. I just had a regular save the day.

Patience and taking breaks really do help

The question I have for you or anyone who believes SM controls traffic because of favoritism, how?

How big do you think SM is? I would guess they have no more then 50 actual employees with additional contractors all around the world. There are people who have the ability to monitor us at any point of the day but do you think they are that involved? Do you think the people who build and manage the interface think of us anything else but a set of numbers? If they are redirecting how are they selectively doing it? Sitting in your room redirecting at certain times?

Why would they? A new “star” is born every month, why would they stop that? The only thing they care about is their bottom line and staying on the good side of the law and cc companies.

I guess that was actually a lot of questions, but I am curious. Like any conspiracy it would take a lot more work to actually be true.

Some of those top models with 20+ people in their rooms probably have tens of thousands of favourites/followers. Maybe even hundreds of thousands, I don't know. And it's human nature to go where is popular! So if someone peeps a room with 20+ people in, they're probably going to join there too.


People get disconnected non stop for various reasons. If they get kicked out and they're sat there with a raging boner and faced with an entire webpage full of beautiful women, then unless they're really engaged in a conversation with you or about to go private or something, they're probably just going to click straight on the next person they can have a look at. They're not forced to click back on you. It's probably the same for them as it is for anyone scrolling on social media. They scroll through and click on what they like, then scroll again and repeat.


At the end of the day, those who are top models and are hitting those top spots in the contents because they have earnt their position. Simple as that. If it's rigged for them, you can also say it's rigged for anyone who gets a higher place in the contest than you, whether they finish in the top 200, top 100 or the top 50. Whatever position someone earns, they've still earned it. And again by that token, if you rank in the contest yourself, maybe it's rigged for you too and that's why you beat other people! You could go on forever with that theory.

similar to something kamiliam said in the post you quoted, i think a plausible explanation for this could be that a lot of guys are on mobile, using one hand, where it's easy to accidentally click something else on the page which might redirect them into another model's room (think about the "similar models" tab). small phone screen, big fingers, general horniness/distractions/low attention span.

it might seem like they are getting "kicked out" because they don't realize they're accidentally clicking out of your page.

so there's one potential explanation for you that to me seems a lot less crazy than SM somehow taking the time/effort to target your profile and the users in your room and redirect them elsewhere.

honestly (and no offense to anyone, just being logical here) -- i think the less successful you are, the less SM cares. (which is why a lot of girls on the lower pages don't get immediately suspended for pussy in free chat, etc.) so to me it makes absolutely zero sense that they'd specifically spend literal company resources targeting lower-earning/less-popular models to try to siphon away the little bit of traffic they get to the more successful girls.

Like any conspiracy it would take a lot more work to actually be true.

yes, this should be emphasized more. ^

when in doubt, apply Occam's razor -- which basically means that the simplest explanation is more likely to be true.

saying it's all rigged by SM might sound simple on the surface, but as kamiliam pointed out it would actually be quite a complex endeavor. logically it would be difficult and doesn't actually make a lot of sense.

the simplest explanation is that everyone's experience on cam varies wildly. yes, there are factors at play that are not in your control, but there are a lot that are.

with that in mind, here's my last piece of advice then i'm done with conspiracy talk...

instead of focusing on things you can't control and constantly blaming the site for your shortcomings, take a step back and evaluate the factors that are *in your control*. try to maximize those as much as possible, and see if that changes your perspective/experience.

work more hours. upgrade your tech as much as you can afford -- lighting, graphics cards, webcam, internet. have a clean background with inviting decor. learn about sales techniques, find your niche, and develop a strong hustle. these are all characteristics i'd give to any model doing decently on SM, not just the super top ones. you have a lot of control if you're willing to put in the effort, and in my experience these things really do make a difference. yes there will be days that traffic is slow, or the site is glitchy, but if all of those other factors are there, you should have a lot more good days than bad ones. there is an obvious element of luck as well, but i actually think cammodel success is a lot more formulaic than some are led to believe.

finally, if anyone here has effectively convinced themselves that SM is spoonfeeding all the good paying traffic to top models, THAT is your biggest problem. you aren't taking any personal responsibility for your success or lack thereof, and you also aren't giving enough credit to other models who do better than you and earned their place.

They kept coming back to her Room, but once again they would get kicked out and streamate would send the member into another girl's Room who happened to be top model with 20 + people.

I've been on Streamate, almost exclusively, for 8.years. In 8 years--almost a decade--I have never had one guy tell me that he has experienced this; never been told that they were being forced into or away from my room. I'm not a top model. Never had a guy tell me that it's happened to him with other models. However, I can think of multiple reasons for why a guy would tell a model that that was happening to him. So yeah I can't get behind this theory.


I sure as heck know on my end, I have had several instances where people have told me that they are getting kicked out from my Room. Imagine the girls with plenty of traffic in their Room who don't have members getting kicked out. Then there's the ones with barely any people in their Room, while they are getting kicked out. Literally.

I have guys get kicked out of my room all the time--because of issues on their end.


I also know that I've had many times too many to count , where somebody is actually allowed to take me private or exclusive, and they are instantly getting kicked out and never to return again. What about all those random guys that say hello how are you, or ask you a question and before you can even answered they leave? Is it a coincidence that this many guys would genuinely be intrested in asking you a question, and then they leave? I think not.

It is not a coincidence, as someone who's been camming since like 2010, guys do that all.the.time. It is extremely common. There's TONS of reasons for why someone would greet you and ask you how you are and then immediately leave, whether purposely or accidentally. There's also TONS of reasons for why guys enter and then quickly leave pvt or exclusive, whether purposely or accidentally. As someone who has been doing consistently well on cam for a decade, this is a normal part of the job.


I'm saying, for the real men that genuinely want to be in our rooms, and take us private, they are not allowed. They get kicked out! I know I am not the only one who's experienced this.

If you think that the only reason why you aren't able to make the money you think you should be is because the site is deliberately sabotaging you, why would you continue to work there?

The whole traffic-funneling conspiracy is odd to me. The site is going to get their money no matter what model a customer spends it on, however they might lose money if they prevent customers from spending on the models that they want. What sense would that make? Plus, again as someone who has done consistently well on cam for a decade, I have days where I am slammed with shows the entire time I am online and have a very high paid % and make a lot of money in less time, and I have days where I log on and hardly anyone is coming in my room and I've made $11 in 40 minutes so I bounce. I also have days where I have tons of traffic and yet don't end up making very much and I have days where I have low traffic yet still end up doing very well. High traffic doesn't necessarily = high money.

1.Member signed up under the models cammodels link. that redirects the sign up back to that models room a lot of times.
2.Member favorites model.
3.member needs to clear his cache
4. member needs to learn to take it up w support and not worry models about shit that is not in our control.
5. you are being trolled. anyone can tell you this that and third, models know how to get a model offline by aggravating the fuck out her under a member account. This is one way. how much has this person spent on you? I always check that and if its low or nothing spent, i ban his ass. idgaf what room they go in and out, idgaf about their tech issues ruining my mood. ;)
