Hello, good afternoon everyone. What a fucking nightmare this is. I have been using VPN + USA flag for yearssss on Streamate and now it’s gone. I literally made $42 in THREE DAYS online (I could make this quite fast). My regulars join me and leave after a while, they obviously find it super odd my different location. Most had the fantasy of meeting me in person, now they see a different location and started to ignore me. I’m extremely upset. My English is PERFECT and never had any issues pretending I’m from US. Everyone was happy, making money, now we are screwed. Honestly I’m taking the few regulars I have to somewhere else. I need the jncome, this situation is extremely serious.
They claim the reason for this change was that a lot of members felt bothered by models saying they’re from USA when they could barely speak any English. To be honest I do not believe this was the reason...
Ladies if you go to the very last page of Women or Guys category, you will see MULTIPLE cams which are not live, it’s a bunch of recorded videos in a infinite loop. Why do they hurt us who were just using a different flag but still allow multiple cams to use a recorded video instead of being actually live? If they really care about their members they wouldn’t allow this!
I hope this change makes them lose money so they will go back to what it was.
I’m friends with a TOP model of Streamate, she told me herself some VERY dirty little secrets about the company. If they hurt my financial life (and my family whom I support), I’m going to hurt them. This is my message hope y’all have a great weekend.

Go back to how it was what? How? Allow everyone to use vpn? So the whole 4000 models become Americans? Then u won’t benefits anymore
I don’t think SM care about you dirty little secrets sorry :D
On the other hand I kind of wanna hear it :D
As I got nothing on them working for ages

did you see 4000 foreign models using US flag? No. Just a few were using it. Not everyone knew about the VPN.
You claim they don’t care because you have no idea of all the PDF’s documents I have from them. Lmao. Things if I say here you’re gonna think I’m lying that’s why I have all data saved on my laptop.

Well yeah they didn’t know and now they do know. so u claim they have to let YOU personally keep using it while others still remain unaware? LOL
You are full of threats
Interesting relationships between your so called top model friend and SM
She just happens to possess that kind of information in pdf )

when did I say they have to let ME use it only? I just want it to go back the way it was.
for sure some people now know about the VPN, are you scared of losing customers because of that? Don’t worry you won’t... there’s customers for everyone, they just tend to join US models a lot more
I’m not full of threats, wtf? I just said something because I’m about to LOSE MY INCOME. I’m out-of-this-world worried. All I said was, if they hurt me I will hurt them. I’ll wait a few weeks to see how it goes and that’s it.

but that in itself is extremely unfair, don't you see it? like someone mentioned upthread the only way it would be completely fair is if there were no flags at all, but to let some models use fake locations (& essentially con their customers) but then not tell other models who are in the same situation this 'trick' is not fair. how can you defend that?
kikixxxx
04-17-2021, 01:59 PM
but you use a US flag to attract the USA guys, cause generally they are more likely to spend more.
i don't see anyone begging to use a NZ flag, which is an english speaking country too. you all just want the US flag...we're not daft.

I tried the VPN thing for a month or so and earned loads under US location but when they changed it I had 2 rough days, like $30 in 6hrs rough. I cried thinking it's over I'll have to leave Streamate or get a vanilla job but then I still logged back on again the next day with a heavy heart and earned my usual. I've earned my usual ever since so I think there might have been an adjustment glitch or something that is fixed now.
I'm a UK native with GB on my profile and the last show I had today was with an American since he introduced himself with his location. We still get traffic from other countries and if anything I have more traffic than ever.
I'm in for the contest next week :grouphug:

Yep, cause she wants the American market. Exactly what I said. Well join the que lol. It is what it it is. She’s not in the US so she’s not entitled to have the US flag. It’ can’t get more clear than that.

I really do hope that SM takes note of everyone's suffering outside of the U.S. there's no reason the staff doesn't go back to the drawing board and correct these things cause it's clearly detrimental to many and i don't enjoy seeing so many of you sad/afraid for your safety. also i will say that I've been noticing an increase of non english speaking traffic, i can't understand anything that's being written in my chat half the time but the few shows I've had with non english speaking members have been a challenge but a fun one at that. In the grand sheme of things, it's unfortunate when cammers feel unheard. Being in the U.S i don't go through nearly half of what non u.s models go through but, I'm rooting for you all, y'all are truly some bad asses. Fingers and cam chords crossed that all plays out in your favor. One more thing, i read a page or so back and saw a comment that mentioned come next year we may be classified as employees or something- can't remember the exact wording, that'll be a whole nother can of worms.

I usually don't rank in the contests unless it's a holiday i.e. Thanksgiving. I have a temporary ranking (anonymous). I'm not sure if this is allowed, but if any model wants to compare rank/earning feel free to inbox me.

Is for anyone the model dashboard loading super mega slow? Every tab I open is taking ages to open, my upload to Seattle is 500mbps and any other page I open on the internet is fine. I have 5 hours of streaming and almost 0 traffic, stuck at 2-6 potentials and very long periods of time with no one in room. What the flipping heck? I usually have 30-40 potentials and some traffic.

OMG, this is the lighting that I have too! Inkeltech softbox light, and I LOVE it! In fact, it comes with TWO, and I really only need one of them...it's amazing. Last night a guy on MFC (who hadn't seen me on cam in a while) kept talking about how he noticed "something different about me." I told him I'm now using a Logitech Brio cam and have better lighting. Lol.
I got the lights and I love them. Thank you for the recommendation! I wasn't sure at first but as it turned out, I was using my clip on ring lights with them and it was overkill. They work much better on their own. This is the best lighting I have ever had.

I logged off early. I’m so tired of the cheapskates. I don’t mean to sound full of myself. I consider myself, but i’m a top shelf model. I can’t tonight with their lame asses. So no it’s not just you.
I don’t want to tell you to give up. STFO is the best way to make money.

I'm totally and utterly full of myself. there's absolutely nothing wrong with thinking highly of yourself. it's a must in this business. i feel you on the cheapskate thing. I'm disappointed because i never sit doing anything for hours on in especially not a Saturday night. there's lots and lots of traffic but that does nothing for me if it's mainly lurkers and beggars. STFO does have a history of paying off so we will see. rest up and have good dreams! not too far behind ya bb 8):-*

I didn't realize how many girls were doing this... recently I noticed several member interrogating me on whether I really lived in the US because "so many girls put US on their profile but they're somewhere else." He was super agressive... idk why they care.
I know this is an unpopular opinion, and I totally feel for all of you who are struggling right now (but honestly, I believe that it will get better with time & you WILL build up a new regular client base), but I actually was always wishing they would go by ID instead of IP address. Why? Because it makes more sense to me... if I go on holiday in Italy and decide to cam, why should my display country change? My nationality didn't change just because I changed location. I'm American, and it was always really annoying having to deal with US guys catching an attitude because I didn't have the accent of my display country even though I speak the language fluently.
I'll admit I am priviledged and that in general, european members are way more annoying and demanding... so I feel for you girls, it requires a tougher hustle for sure... but at the same time, if you were gaming the system and lying, I don't think SM is doing anything wrong by preventing you from doing that...

04-18-2021, 08:41 AM
Similar thing is happening on skyPri. I got a general email from them saying something about using the translator software they provided some time ago, and I guess why... If some day they decide to do the same as SM, well well. We will know the reason. Today I got a guy from USA asking the same twice: where are you from? I asked him why? Is that important for you? He replied: oh darling, because a) I only talk to Americans and b)many girls say they are from there but is not true.. I blocked his ass for being a xenopho. But seems to be an issue going on in other sites tho. Many studios doing that also. Idk anymore.

I can't even do a lot of caffeine as I get really nervous and anxious. I drink green tea and that's about it. I meditate a lot to get energy. I can only do 8 -10 hrs. I don't know how anyone can do 14 hrs only making what I make. When it's good I make about $50 an hour, but if I made $100 an hour I'd be up allllllll night hahahaaaaaa.

Can u control brightness and warmth with this brand? I looked at them before but looks like u can’t. It’s super important. Mine got digital screen and no bulbs
