Meh, 6 hours nearly, a wasted night and 20$. Barely any traffic in my room and I am row 5-8 on the first page. Dunno if it's me or is just an awful week, it's extremely slow for me. Erm, in the other hand, every Wednesday night seems not be worthy showing online but I still do (stupid me), I always end in very low digits. Cannot explain this thing at all. Think I may just change my shifts for this week and cam during day time. Crikey!
This week is record breaking in how bad it's been. Last shift I had 2 shows in 4 hours. What the fuck.

Last night was awful. I was getting loads of traffic, but they were being annoying as HELL. The timewasting, chatting utter shit and begging and attention seeking and all the rest was 10x more annoying than the fact that they weren't spending. I'd have rather them just have come in and out and not said anything. At least I can't waste too much energy trying to salvage something from those types.
It must have been ok for some people though cause once I hit a certain point in the ranks in the evening, I just started to go down and never moved back up once. I called it a day early.
Has anyone else noticed there's a lot of trolling going on over the last couple of weeks? Particularly this week. Or is it just me???

Not just you, I’m having an awful month! Yesterday I done 5.5hrs for $2. I’m also changing up my shifts from tonight, see if that helps

Yes!!! Fuck loads of trolling, freeloaders and general losers and not enough normal spenders for me right now. I ended up losing my temper with someone last night and had to log off.

Does Streamate still have the thing that like analyzes your stream or your rank? Where it showed the health of your ping time, feed etc? I can't seem to find it anymore. I thought it was in reports in the past.
That's been gone for a while now.

All dudes are doing is logging in and out, or doing short shows
I dont see what I'm doing wrong
Sorry for the rant, Ive had a rough time as of late, including dealing with an incel calling me a fat whore yesterday
Dont take it to heart. If you arent too bad at withstanding bitch ass comments like that - you can troll them back or even just 'why are you being so rude?' Then some other guys in the room may tip to save your mood LOL
As for logging in and out pretty sure SM is loading faster than ever so these guys are cam hopping like mad men. Also wondering if anyone else knows: I clicked on a random model yesterday as a guest and it said she went in a private show, went into another models room as a guest, happened again. And a pop up to sign up. Is SM bumping off guests to encourage account creation?

I'm not surprised. This day can go either way I see it. Lots of family....or not...guys bored as fuck and sneak away for a jerk. I had two last nights like that...one in his car and one in a treehouse!!...I've never laughed so hard in my life. I just watched him jerk off. I think today is worth getting on for. I'm alone except with pets so I'll give it a shot. It's shark week for me...oh goody...so I'll just go with the flow...OUCH!!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING LADIES!

They got rid of all that when they launched the SMB way back like last year or the year before.

I actually don’t mind it so much now that it’s working properly, but it does take like 5 attempts before I’m happy with it and can start my shift

^^I just wish the preview was bigger. I have to retake the shot a couple times before it seems decent to me. I haven't taken a new one since last week, but I do my toes soon so I'll have to. Yeah, some of my shots look freakish lol.

For those who get direct deposit: have you gotten paid yet? Mine is usually deposited by 6am every Fri. It's almost 9am and nothing, but in my pay history it said it's been issued.

same, and I really don’t know why with DD, checks are often a mess around the holidays but this should be fairly automated. I was worried when it wasn’t showing up in payment history until way later then usual on Wednesday. Unless it randomly pops up I’m not expecting to see that until Monday. Hopefully not because this was a careless mistake that really shouldn’t happen.

Same. I assumed it had something to do with the bank and the fact that the DD hit on a federal holiday.

yeah but the people responsible for DD knew that. The financial institutions send out emails to all companies with reminders about this stuff. I’m not surprised this happened but the banks are pretty clear on this stuff.

Really? I’ve never dealt with anyone sending me DDs that did payroll early so that stuff would be cleared before federal holidays, it’s always been that they sent it when they’re supposed to and when it actually got my account was up to my banks, and long holidays meant long delays.

yeah I had to do it all the time when I worked in HR. It’s not so much early as they already are on the deadline by issuing payment on Wednesdays. They cut it close to the deadline before the weekend every week. Holidays mess with it every year and companies know to adjust or worst case warn employees of this, but we are not employees so they have no obligation to inform us of any of this or to fix the mistake.
For reference when I was responsible for this I would try to have all the hours set to be distributed by like Tuesday morning, some employees would mess this up and I would have to input them last minute to get the deadline. Most companies do use a Wednesday after pay period cut off, but ideally you are striving to not release last minute. On holiday weeks you have to work harder to dedicate more of your work day to getting them in so employees get paid on time. I have complimented them previously on getting this done on other holiday weeks so they are capable.

I'm guessing it will appear on Monday but definitely didn't expect a delay due to the way they paid early or on time in the past. Maybe they are having difficulties adjusting to people in their accounting offices working from home.
Also a bit strange they didn't give a heads-up or comment on it at all.

Lots of people probably on vacation even in the times of covid, all the bonus prizes doesn't make it easy either. Accounting has no say in when they run these contests I would bet money on that.

yep. i get direct deposit with etrade every friday by usually 5 am eastern time and i didnt receive mine as well this week.
maybe by monday it will arrive.
its fine with me, but a heads up would have been nice as i am sure so many people are depending on those funds. especially with the holiday.
or so many of us might be calling our banks worried.

I’ve been asked that before, not in relation to a contest though. Had he spent anything? If not I’d just tell him he’s a nosy fucker. When I was asked, it was by a guy who spends so I just gave a vague answer. I think he was just trying to make conversation. Yours doesn’t sound like that though.

Not showing up logged out for the first stream. Restarted stream and still couldn't be found, but I got a show. Logged into my member account and I'm where I usually am, but logged out I wasn't showing up on the first 3 pages. Restarted stream again and found myself logged out 2 rows lower than yesterday's placement.
I know I haven't made as much as I can with almost 40 hrs streamed, but to drop 2 rows in less than 24 hrs just bugs me a bit. If it wasn't for my member account I'd be discouraged.
Placement is such a pain and totally confusing.

I don't think two rows is a big deal. I'm on a different row like every time I log on, it has to do with how many girls are streaming and which girls are streaming...etc. There's probably like 4 rows that I see myself regularly traveling around.

I don't think its helpful (for me at least) to focus on placement. If your hardware and internet speed are sufficient there is nothing you can do about it. Looking at placement can get me in a bad mindset if its not where I want it to be. Instead, focus on good shows so you get 5 star ratings and working more hours. Plus, it can fluctuate literally every few minutes.
For me personally, that works better :)
