i was unaware i had "early access" to the activity feed feature until today ,when i got the SM message about being able to sell explicit or non-explicit photos.

i'm totally out of the loop about the activity feed and have some questions, if anyone can fill me in.

who sees your activity feed? is it only people who have favorited you (or perhaps have spent money on you?) or is it visible to anyone with an account?

what is the percentage we keep for money earned on the activity feed? is it 35% or 50% like video sales?

I have same questions and a couple of more: are the pics we post there(free or paid) downoadable by customers? SM mentioned they can save pics in their SM account, but can they download them in their computers/phones?
and what are good sizes (in pixels) for pictures? I wouldn't like mine to be cropped after uploading, someone mentioned it happened to her pics already.
And damn, why the highest price is just 10$? WTF? Streamate, make it at least 100, seriously!

Support usually takes about a week to reply to me about anything...and they never respond over the weekend.

i would always assume if you're posting/selling photos, that the customer can save them. even if they can't literally right click and properly download, there is always the print screen button on the computer and screenshot on a phone. so i'd say be sure to watermark and don't post/sell anything you're uncomfortable with someone potentially saving (and therefore potentially leaking/sharing elsewhere). perhaps SM will disable right clicking/"saving" while in the feed or something, but again that doesn't stop anyone from actually getting your photos.

we need a page on the streamatehelp site dedicated to info about the activity feed (like ideal photo res size, etc). i searched and there is nothing there yet.

i think $10 for a single photo isn't a terrible maximum price, although i still agree that they shouldn't be limiting us. we should be able to charge what we want. also from what i can gather, i assume the current activity feed features only allow posting one photo at a time, instead of multiples (correct if i'm wrong). so i imagine if/when we're allowed to post full photosets in the future we will be able to set the price much higher.

Thank you Carmen, yes the guy tipped me thorough Messenger and wrote me to unblock him LOL
Poor guy, i dont remember why i blocked him but hey, i gave him a second chance and unblocked him, lets see if he comes back to me. Ty for answering, i was puzzled of what was with the tips.

dont you ladies worry that when they do this. they will just take you to private or exclusive for a few minutes and give you a 1 star to pay you back for blocking them? that my feeling about doing that.

I've been working today and my cam has been absolutely perfect all day. I've been out and logged back on and now my mic won't work. Camera is fine, I've not unplugged anything, mic appears to be on but it's picking up zero sound. Can anyone possibly help me shed any light on this? I can't figure out what's happened to it. It's a the brio mic

Never mind, fixed it!

Yeah, I know they can do it, that's why watermarking is great, but Streamate says no brand names, no logos on pictures for Activity Feed. Or I misunderstood it?

No, in my experience, these who actually do it are rare. I ve had one who took me excl just to say 'you are a cunt' lol (I was pretty harsh in free chat to him). He didnot rate me though.
On other hand, I had a guy,completely unknown to me, who took me for a feet show and left in a minute rating me 1 star. *shrugs*
Never thought they could ask to be unblocked just to do it lol. You got me slightly paranoid, bum. ;D

I don’t think I actually block that many tbh so if I do block someone, it was probably with good enough reason. Therefore, they have to pay me to be unblocked, if they ask!

I made the mistake of giving guys I blocked a second chance. There’s a reason they were blocked. Definitely don’t feel bad. Just make them pay to get out of jail, pass go, collect $200 and move on.

I had the same experience! I was reading a suggestion to unblock everyone if things slowed down (this was when my block list was around 200 or so). I ended up blocking EVERY SINGLE ONE of them again. None of them spent money and all of them were a waste.

Made me trust my intuition even more after that.

i assumed they meant no corporate logos/branding

so i see in Messenger mode you can "block" someone from the message itself, but it only blocks them from sending you more messages. when i went to my blacklist page their name doesn't actually show up on the list, so i can't block them from chat.

is that how it is for everyone or is this an error/glitch?

Genoveve
06-13-2021, 01:21 PM
^^^Yes, it's always been like that for me. When they first added the feature I assumed blocking them there would add them to my block list and was bummed when I saw that it did not.

anyone else having server time out/cannot connect to the model dashboard? Was logged in, streaming but noticed I couldn't load my earnings. Logged off which maybe was a mistake but my earnings dried up as soon as I noticed this. Tried in Firefox/Chrome.

Edit
Figured it out after I free balled a whole shift. Kind of a rush not knowing what I was earning or if it was counting on the sm side. Luckily all looks good now.

It was anti-virus thing that Comcast grouped with their app, never asked if I wanted it, just put it in with the only way to monitor my router, sneaky. I still don’t get how the site went down in the middle of a stream when I had just accessed the model page to log in and I had the anti virus on for a few weeks unknowingly.

I hardly block regulars unless they stopped spending or are toxic then I'd permanently block because in my experience they will do some shit to annoy if you unblocked. So if they're lucky enough to be given a second chance they better spend because apology without spending is just manipulation.
IF they do go private or a exclusive for a few minutes just to leave 1 star out of spite I will contact support to have poor ratings removed. I never have a problem, support always helpful. That's how I deal with it but everyone is different.

As for freeloaders, I have no regrets blocking away. If dudes couldn't tip 10 gold or whatever for a flash, the chances of them tipping $50, $200 to be unblocked is highly unlikely.

Have you got 5 ratings yet?

I thought you had to have a min of 15 5* ratings....but anyway, often times if you email support to ask for them to unlock the higher rates they will do it for you.

What is your reaction to customers that keep pushing for your EXACT location? He is convinced that I'm from his hometown. I had an exclusive with a guy who wouldn't quit and gave me his phone #. My cam froze and it ended but I'm thinking about reporting him. Should I?

Last week one of the best ways for me to make better money was night shift. I'm an early AM and afternoon streamer, but I'm desperate and have to make $1k this week. I'm gonna switch to night shift and see if it's better cause days just are not working even last week they didn't really work.

I've been up since 4am so I think I can go to sleep at like 5pm and wake at midnight then stream til 5am and hit gym then do another 2 hrs when I get back from gym. I hope this fuckin works. Shit...I got no choice but to.

if he's a new customer, i'd just block and move on. i don't usually bother reporting people but you could do that too.

if it's a regular, i'd firmly tell him he's crossing some serious boundaries by pushing for personal information and that he has one more chance, otherwise he's going to get blocked.

in general when anyone gets pushy for a location, i tell them this isn't a dating site and i'm not an escort, so my exact location is irrelevant, and i threaten to block if it continues.

Anyone else being told that their stream is bad or freezing? It looks fine on my end but that's not what my customers are saying.

Anyone having audio issues? My sound suddenly cut out and it’s not me, I can see it picking up on the input.

i posted a pic to the activity feed and it was rejected. but its just my toes with a drink on the beach. so confusing.
do you find that pics get rejected often or without logical reason?

i've had a few feet pictures rejected from posting as normal photos on streamate (like for a public photo album) with no explanation. i haven't tried using the activity feed yet. i wonder if it it was the drink? though if it was in a nondescript glass there's nothing to imply it was alcoholic or anything. even so i don't know why that would necessarily be against the rules.

it would be very helpful if they included even a generic statement as to why photos get rejected. clearly something we did broke a rule, but it's not helpful at all if we don't know what we did wrong.

This is one they rejected of me for below the waist nudity. Look at the one under, that's one THEY inserted, nothing to do with me.

And as far as I can tell there is no way to delete content from the activity feed. All the screen grabs from videos are thankfully blurred now. Much improved from the initial free video preview.

Makes no sense that mine still show even though I took down all the videos. A delete button would be a good addition to the activity feed.

Random observance:
Kick a guy= Comes back and harasses for infinite.
Log Off (I don't want to deal with it for a moment)= Never see him again.
Odd Occurrence: Customer waits in free chat during my gold show and upon my returning leaves...WTF? He waited 5 minutes just to see me in free and to leave? End. Rant.

Works the same with kids, any attention is still attention even negative after being a prat.

This isn't too bizarre to me, he might have just wanted to see what you were wearing/how you looked this day. What IS bizarre to me is when I have guys, and it's almost always regulars who do it, who come and park in my chatroom every time I'm taken pvt or exclu like they're waiting for me, and then bounce once I'm available again. Over and over. I ban them, it's weird.

Those guys are so sad sometimes. I think they usually are the type to believe they have their timing down and they know SM system too well to be caught sneaking. I think they are usually just broke at that moment, which happens. But they just can’t or won’t help themselves. Good on you for getting rid of them all, I do it on a case by case basis. I’ve had some guys redeem themselves but could just be luck.
