Yesterday I started doubting my skills , abilities to sell, appearance and ect.. today I think no way fuck that shit I am awesome ;)) we all are awesome girls !) it’s not us it’s them :D it will pass
it’s not anything to do with ladies, looks , ability etc . The world is in turmoil right now and this will most certainly affect stuff online. Good luck today everyone xx

We really give these guys too much power over us, but when how you pay your bills literally depends on what you look like and your personality-it feel personal. I think this is why I get anxious before I log on. I’m super sensitive and an empath and just a few negative guys can really send me on a downward spiral. I’m taking a coaching class now on how to not take on other people negative energy.
Yes, I like that. It’s not me, it’s you (customers).
I get you. I’m an empath too... it’s hard! I’m in my 40s now so I’ve learnt to observe not absorb the energy. I’m guessing you are younger? If you are you do learn to do this, it’s a struggle thou cos I can literally feel their energy through my computer. I don’t like to feed negative energy or it just grows worse, that’s how I deal with idiots online, different personalities have their own unique way and that’s fab, whatever works for you but empaths are different . I think it’s best to not respond and generally just block, after all they are just projecting their frustration with their own inadequate lives onto you, that’s not your burden to carry and so not worth dimming that light you shine so bright inside.

Anyone else block sessions not working? I really don’t want to wait for SM support. It’s not an option when taking me to private or exclusive. I have it enabled on my side?

There is nothing going on in my room but timewasters. I've been streaming an hour & got one 5 gold tip

Where is the traffic? My room is literally empty today. Also I heard a sound of tip but nothing has appeared and member has claim that he has tipped 10 golds but its not in my or his stats.

Switched to Firefox from Chrome thanks to your recs. Much better experience, only one customer complained of being kicked from pvt. The guys still mostly sucked and our blocklist got longer, but that's contest for you.

This week has been so very telling! I keep notes on anyone and everyone who pops in my room. This week I've seen a surge of the guys that have shitty notes that I've left for them. Lots of the "freeloader" or "beggar"...Oh, and lots of the "took me private and left before getting charged". Seems like they really come out of the woodwork for the contest weeks lol. I'm just glad I know not to waste any of my time on them as soon as I see them.

Same here! I'm so relieved. Decided to try to get on way earlier and saw a couple regs I haven't seen in a long while.
Despite my bitching about traffic this week it looks like I will actually get a decent deposit! yay :)

Me too. I'm trying to catch up to bigbums blacklist total and I've been very liberal with my block button for guys who have shitty notes.

Is anyone having bitrate fluctuations like crazy and being kicked by Streamate while streaming? Plus no traffic since yesterday, I sit for hours with no traffic and my Internet I did speedtest and is fine, no jitter or lag, stable upload.

Changed the routers and I put the ISP live chat to refresh my connection. Is just driving me nuts! 2 wasted nights. Its 4:30 am here in the UK. Grrrr. I shall get online soon and see how is.

Don't think it was a coincidence, but refreshing the Internet did help and I had traffic tons and did a gold show. Off to bed as I am tired and pissy after I sat for hours without traffic. I am shy of 6 hours from 40 hours goal and I will be back in late afternoon to finish it.

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong BUT I stopped looking at my bitrate months ago, not long after I figured out what it was. It did prompt me to use a cable, showed me how much WiFi loses but seeing the number fluctuate just annoyed and stressed me out. As far as I am aware my stream is good quality (and I aim to improve this when I upgrade/replace my equipment with higher speed processor).
I just get on and get on.
Some of the recent posts reflect my experience with visitors this week, however after I did one of the contests successfully and benefitted in many ways (I couldn't take part in the full whack due to other work and life commitments) I subsequently tried a slightly different approach to making hours available for streaming which I think affected my vibe in free. I've had some great shows and improved my hustle using many of the tips posted here, constantly improving and enjoying but I know that on successful earnings day I have an ooze of 'bring it on, come get me'. Due to the shifting pandemic situation which BTW brought me into camming, my life and schedule, RL work is changing all the time I'm constantly trying to figure out how to make it work.
Some of this likely belongs in self care and STFO threads.

So I got all set up and prepared to start streaming again this weekend, did a couple of test streams etc, played with the snapshot thingy, set my wishlist and GOLD menus...
I log in today and I cannot connect with SMConnect, cos "Uh oh! You’re not streaming with the best experience. Switch to the Web Encoder for better results." - I thought SMConnect was the best/fastest option?? Am I going to lose out somewhere (ie placement, eventually) by using the external broadcaster??
For info - I did a speedtest and I'm on over 200 Mbps UP and 20 DOWN. Fast computer/processor etc. Using Logitech C920.
Any advice or encouraging words? :)
EDIT - OK, the issue was that somehow my streaming/encoder choice had been changed to "external encoder". I set it back to "Web Encoder" and I'm up and running again. Gotta love technology that makes you waste hours of your life/earnings playing Hunt The Issue.

I have an issue. I can't find myself on SM when logged on and streaming. Guys coming in are telling me (cos I ask) they're finding me on various white labels, but I am nowhere to be found on SM when I look. Even in the BBW category.
I have ONE geoblock, for Russia. No others. I'm not using VPN, I'm in UK and showing as such.
I have stopped and restarted my stream, and everything is in green each time, but I am not showing on SM at all - I only wanted to check what my placement started at :/
Any advice?
Ambercat

If you have ANY geoblock you shouldn't be able top be visible to anyone who is not logged into the site. So if you search for yourself you need to be logged in with a customer account.
I don't know how they are able to find you on white labels, I was under the impression that geoblock automatically opted you out of all external advertising as well.

Thank you! That explains it. ;D
EDIT: yep, that was it. I removed the geoblock and there I am :)

same I'm really regretting not doing an early shift today. I'm still 100 away from my goal for the day and there's only just over 2 hours to go, it just doesn't seem achievable with the lack of people in my room.

I'm so annoyed. The feature that shows recent visitors is not working. Thought it was chrome maybe but happening in Firefox.
I use this a lot to make notes on customers after they leave (plus to ban them at times). Annoyed!!

same here! lacking about 100 exactly for today's goal. I had a great day yesterday but today is pretty slow. I guess everyone is trying to get those last few hours in before the pay period ends so more are working.

I have it in Firefox still…you mean when they leave after being in free chat then the name is grayed out right? Did you change or did it reset your settings on the timing of that?
