When it's glitchy for me, it's almost always a tech issue on my end. The trick is to figure it out. Lately it's been my upload speed. I have been on Comcast's butt and it seems to be better now, although I am not streaming much this week.
Techs can be nosy. "Which streaming platform do you use?" Nunya!!

Same. 9.5 times out of 10, again in 8 years, tech issues are on my end and 9 times out of that 9.5 it has to do with my upload. It's honestly really annoying, I feel like in order to be able to stream properly you have to have a literally perfect internet connection. At least it does work perfectly most of the time.

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.
Some of them have about 100-200k followers in social networks and on Pornhub, so before going online they post teasers and invite people online in their rooms through cammodel links.

been on SM since 2014 and completely and utterly agree on all points Genoveve. positive mental attitude is everything. creating a conspiracy theory is another
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 have guys get kicked out of my room all the time--because of issues on their end.
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.
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.

Streamate is created by a small company in Seattle called ICF Technologies. Correct, it is less than 50 people. It is mostly code and algorithms optimizing for maximum profit to SM that is making these decisions.

sorry to change the subject y'all, but is anyone else waiting on cheques that were mailed out weeks ago? i'm now overdue 2 cheques, one of which should've arrived 2 weeks ago and another that should've arrived this week. i live in the UK, so i'm especially wondering if other british SM girls are experiencing delays? i know USPS is a bit of a shitshow at the moment, but up until recently it had remained really consistent (besides maybe one cheque about 6 months ago). just freaking out because i need to pay rent soon and i'm waiting on quite a lot of money on those cheques!!

My checks used to get delayed and lost even before Covid happened and I'm in the U.S. If I were outside the U.S. I would likely join Boleynmodels and get paid through them, or switch to one of the other payment methods Streamate has. I hate giving up a percentage to ewallets but it beats having to wait weeks and weeks for money to arrive.
i really hope you get your money soon, that really bites. :(

also, can anybody recommend an alternative payment method for SM (that works in the UK) that doesn't cream off a big percentage of my paycheck? looking up alternatives on the payment page but can't seem to find a simple breakdown of the various fees. used to use payoneer back when that was a thing but since that folded i've been having to go into my bank branch to pay in... i haven't minded because the exchange rate seems to be fairer, but it's been a total pain in the arse over lockdown!

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.
Oh yeah it happens all the time. When it first started happening I thought the guys were full of crap but after more and more started to say it I just accepted it as there is nothing I can do about it. They would get booted into a top models room every time. It was never some lady on the very back pages or a male models room. I mean statistically if it was just some random glitch it would be more likely for them to hit the back pages than not.

Boleyn works well for me. Its 5% but you can get some of this back as a bonus if you work 6 days.Set up a transferwise account and goes in daily (not weekends) in $, the exchange rate to GBP and Euro is very good and I transfer mine instantly into my Barclays account or Revolut.

Hey ladies I have a quick question about payments on SM please. I've just started and have asked for Wire Transfer for payment to me in the UK. I have set a minimum amount before they pay out. I can't see however how long it will take to be paid? I'm assuming there is a delay?
Could anyone please explain how it works? So for example say it takes me 3 weeks from now to earn the amount I have set as a minimum, how long after that would I receive that money in my bank?
Also I should mention I'm not with any kind of group, not for me, and have no need to get paid quickly but I just like to know when my money will be in my hand so to speak!
Thank you so much!

I don't cam on SM anymore, but yeah, I see what y'all mean. I had visited the room of a popular model who's known for the unusual insertions that she offers in shows, and even SHE was talking about how horrible it's been on there...and that she won't be on the site anymore if she doesn't start making money. She was trying to get a Gold show running, and she had to start it with only $10. Some dude was like "Let me see this ass that I'm boutta put gold in for." Smh.

Lol the panic got a bit too real for me, I had to come back and see if there was something in the "cam water". I was expecting a bit of a slow down with the pandemic and all, but it seems like it's more of a "working more hours" or "working different shifts" kinda thing than an actual decrease of income. Opinions lovely ladies?

During lockdown I went from having long acrylics to doing my own gels on my natural nails. Other then losing a handful of nail fetish guys it didn’t have an impact on my income. I do have my nails done every time I cam, and will sometimes log off to fix a chip. That has to do with my comfort level though, it’s something I need to have how I like to work. It’s more of the confidence that has the impact.

I get gel polish pedis as I have a fair amount of foot enthusiasts and it keeps them coming back to see what I change the colour to, but keep super short natural finger nails and no one's ever mentioned it.
I made a comment about my barely visible tan lines yesterday and the customer said "trust me, if there are tits onscreen it's all we see"

I think you’d be really surprised how many guys actually notice your nails. I’ve had more guys comment on my nails in the past few years than I have women, both on cam and IRL. I never had anything wild or extravagant that would make them stand out loads, just acrylics or gel with a nice colour.
That said, I’m sure it doesn’t makes you lose business or anything, not having them done. Unless they have a nail fetish like mentioned anyway.

i'd agree...shifts throughout the day are swinging like an out of control pendulum for me with either my higher than average per hour or super low (i work about 4-5 short shifts/day)...just got to work through it until things normalize economically

I get paid on a Friday around 3pm every week unless there is a public holiday then it can be Monday. Other option is Cosmopay. I have used that too. It can work out cheaper depending on the amounts with the $25 fee for wire

I am U.K. based too, I went for Paxum. I am sort of new and I got mine in 3rd week on a Thursday and every Thursday after that. When I started I hadn’t verified Paxum and they sent me cheque which came even earlier.

honestly i hate going to get them done. id rather invest in my skin facial or a massage here where i live is the same price.
in mexico nails are really important for some weird reason. mexicans are obsessed. and constantly ask me why my nails are fucked up.
i was just wondering if that translated to income.
its like $40 a full set here where i live.
but a 1 hour face treatment or a 1 hour massage for both my husband and i is the same price! lol.
yeah pass on this nail thing..
maybe some time i will try for a week or 2 to see if someone on SM notices and pays for it since its a fetish site. but i doubt it.

This is what I do. I've pretty much always done my own nails and gel kits are pretty cheap these days. I get a lot of compliments on my nails but since I keep my nails pretty short, I don't get a lot of nail fetish guys. The foot guys always appreciate my polished toes though. I've even let some customers "pay" for my next pedicure, lol. And its a confidence thing for me too since my cam persona is always pretty glam. I just feel more powerful when my nails are done. :)

How is everyone doing on SM & the contest this week? I thought I did well so far for this week but I'm not even in the top 500 yet. Which makes me kinda really bummed out tbh bc I thought I had a decent start to the week (albeit I only worked 5 hours Sat night and then all day today bc I was not able to Sun & Mon). But on the other hand it does make me feel better knowing we are only half way through the week so there is still some time for me to keep trying. :)
I usually place ok in the contests (usually in the bottom 100 prizes and sometimes higher). I think what mainly got me bummed was bc it's the first time they have done a contest with over all weekly earnings, so this is the first actual comparable contest to everyone else on the site. And I came to realize what I thought was a good start in general for the week was in fact not, that there were 500+ models doing way better, and I feel like I don't try hard enough now. It was like a reality check/wake up call and I feel like I really should be trying harder, if that makes sense. I don't know how to explain what I'm feeling, but it really got me into a sad funk, and I'm usually the "look at the bright side of things" & try to be optimistic (for myself and others) kind of model when it comes to camming. Maybe I'm just being too hard on myself and need to see how the rest of the week plays out. /rant
This would actually be really encouraging for me. If I thought I was already earning a good amount, and found out that at least 500 girls were earning more it would make me dream of the giant pile of potential money I could be sitting on. That would get me excited and make me want to work more.

I wouldn't take it as an insult. There will be some guys who like to just have one or two regular girls who they spend their money on and then some who just want to get the quick and instant gratification of tipping multiple models I guess. That's the way I imagine it to be anyway!
I don't think it's much different to drive by compliments.. except we can pay the bills with tips lol.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I'm just imagining a world IRL where instead of a guy honking his car horn at you while you're walking down the street, he threw a dollar at you as a "compliment". :D

I saw at least 2 or 3 models with "taboo roleplay" in room topic or even on profile (the part that should be approved by support before appearing on a site). So looks like yes, you can do that kind of stuff if you personally okay with it.
Also it looks very interesting for me now since they told me bm and blasphemy fetishes aren't really nice things to do and I can get my account blocked. Yes, I asked support straight.
Like you can play a daughter/father but can't say "Give me your money or I'll send your pics to your wife" (even though I don't have any pics of a user neither his wife's an email). Isn't it amazing logic?
What would be an example of blasphemy on SM? I haven't heard about this one before.

yeah, this is one of the things I like most about the week-long contests. it's an interesting insight into what other models are making. sometimes it's motivating, sometimes it's discouraging. depends on my mood and how my week is going, lol.
i'm happy with where i ended up this week. i made a little over $1500 in ~24 hours online (i worked a few hours all 7 nights), logged off last night in the high #200s and now i've fallen into the mid 300s. i'm not working any more today so i'm hoping to stay in the 300s by the time the contest ends later.
for comparison, in the last week long contest in august, i made about $1350 and ended in the 400s. (but my bonus was higher because they tiered the prizes out of the top 1000, not top 500.)
if anyone placed in the 200s or higher i'd love to hear a ballpark figure of your earnings! (edit: and amount of hours worked)

i'm happy with where i ended up this week. i made a little over $1500 in ~24 hours online (i worked a few hours all 7 nights), logged off last night in the high #200s and now i've fallen into the mid 300s. i'm not working any more today so i'm hoping to stay in the 300s by the time the contest ends later.
for comparison, in the last week long contest in august, i made about $1350 and ended in the 400s. (but my bonus was higher because they tiered the prizes out of the top 1000, not top 500.)
if anyone placed in the 200s or higher i'd love to hear a ballpark figure of your earnings! (edit: and amount of hours worked)
Wow, thanks for your honesty. Would you say you make more on gold-shows or privates? I struggle with gold-shows, I wish I could do them reaching my goal since privates (especially short ones) can be exhausting/draining.

if i had to estimate, i'd say it's something like 40% gold shows, 40% exclusives, 20% privates. or maybe a little less of all of those with like 5% being from extra tips. for example i had a reg do an exclusive block session and then at the end he randomly tipped an extra $300. that's uncommon but it does happen, and i do get a fair amount of $5-15 free chat tips.
