is anyone else having issues getting their stream to go live? i click go live and then it just buffers. i tried everything.
anyone else having issues right now?
Yup, I figured it was just me. I restarted my PC also. I wonder if they're doing some sort of update and not telling us.

I was able to go live now! Tried repeatedly over the last 20 minutes, restarted router and computer but of course it is the site not my equipment.

They seem to be pretty backed up. Took about six days when I finally got a response.
(I ended up not waiting and going ahead and contacting Liz. Hated to bother her but I was locked out of my account even though I was using the correct password and she fixed it right away).

I am experiencing diff than what I have read
yesterday bit rate stays @ 17-44 red zone but the guys continue to buy shows.; i look glitchy when i check but they don't seem to notice
today everything is normal
i need to register decent accurate times I put the doggo on a schedule, log in and cam.
rule is to not break until she comes to bother me, usually im the one that wants human interaction so im randomly lets go to the dog park! and stay for hours cutting into my cam time

Today my bitrate was 3.9-4.9 green and usually it is 2.5-3.5 and RTT hasn't shown up in days, just blank. Stream will again not connect. Can't log on again. It has said 502 bad gateway several times for the streaming tab.

Hey guys! First post in here, or on this site really - I'm usually a really high earning cam girl but the last week has KILLED me off. Has it been a slog for anyone else? I'm just getting such slow traffic. I've talked to the SM team about it but apparently the 'traffic is not low' but I feel like that could be a lie... idk?

It's insane isn't it! I'm having to put in double the amount of hours just to meet target. I'm still going to (hopefully) meet my usual weekly target but I'm going insane with the amount of time wasters and freeloaders - is it a summer thing? I was thinking maybe with easing lockdown etc there just aren't a lot of people online. It's even the same over on adultwork!
Aquamarin3

I have always heard it is slower, across the board/websites, during the summer months. However, they are my higher earning months than earlier in the year. My prediction is, with the new wave of covid restrictions, we will see a huge influx of traffic, as happened at the beginning of lockdowns (March/April 2020) last year. Hopefully!

I'm on a $1k total too! Have worked about 25-30 hours so far this week but I'm used to having almost double that in the same amount of time - it's just a bit demoralising, especially with the number of people asking for things for free, or just sitting in freechat for hours and talking to me with no financial reimbursement.

Traffic has been a joke. I could be making more money flipping burgers. its def putting a damper on my mental health. I have 0 patience for conversation at this point, pay me jack off and be on your way or don't talk to me at all. The amount of non paying customers is getting out of hand. When I see top row girls struggling to have a successful gold show I know something isn't right.

God I’m exactly the same. I will have people in freechat talking to me for ages and it just pisses me off. I usually love chatting to people but it gets so darn infuriating when they overstay their welcome in freechat. I’ve kicked out so many people for this, it’s irritating.
I also hate it when I’m obviously trying to hold a conversation with them and they just sit there in silence in freechat. Nothing ruins my morale more than that, I find it so rude and it’s so obvious they’re freeloading. I kick them out too.

Yeah I’m in top row too! I messaged SM about it and they said traffic is the same and depends on the individual camgirl. Also told me, a camgirl who uses it as her sole form of income and is usually a top earner, that it’s probably time I changed something in my room. Ah yes, I never thought of that. Lol.
Apparently though, they also told the owner of an agency I know that traffic is down 42% in summer. I just don’t get why they would lie about that.

normally traffic comes in waves for me, but the past two nights it has been just steadily dead. like i'm streaming in a black hole. yet there were lots of guest viewers which makes me feel very, very uncomfy when there are no actual members at all… like i went minutes without a single member coming in. people just trickled in slowly one at a time vs. a stream of ppl. what about you?
aren't we due for a contest soon? maybe they are preparing, i just dunno why it has to mess up traffic :shrug:

Love the Thursday deposit! Hope it stays like this.
It had been very slow for me this week and yesterday was the worst. SM is full of it if they say traffic isn't down. We work the site every day year round I think we are qualified to identify when there are less users entering our chat rooms. I don't know if it is less than previous years' August but it is way slower than 2 months ago for me. Hopefully it is the dreaded summer slowdown and not everyone gave up fapping lol

I was thinking the same thing! It is SM way of saying sorry for all the tech issues and no traffic. Here, have a contest that only benefits the top models.

I really think the traffic is the same during contests, just way more hosts are online so there are more for viewers to choose from. If you check the number of hosts online it's usually way more during a contest and drops a lot when it ends.
Some of the top hosts I notice only do long hours during contests.

Yeah I usually have a steady stream of clients coming and going so I’ve constantly got someone to talk to which keeps my room lively. I looooove it like that. But for the past week it’s been so dead that I have had hardly anyone to talk to at all, and periods with no one in my room. I can even use my phone with no interruption hahaha!
It’s so strange too, because on the Saturday it was SUCH a good night for me and I did about $600, but the next day I only managed $200 in the same amount of time and it’s been a slog since.
I’m going to get ready and do a late shift once I’ve had something to eat so I’ll let you guys know if it’s any different for me tonight - wish me luuuuuck

haha how cruel but so true… contest & bonus weeks i just peace the f out.
i’ve had the opposite experience this summer, the spring was very slow for me on SM so much that i barely cammed. i started camming consistently again at the end of june and my sm earnings have been better than ever. really hoping traffic is better today!

Yeah I agree! More cam girls work during contest timings which means more of us have to share viewers - I never bother with contests because I hate the thought of putting sex workers against each other, and it always has a detrimental effect on my mental health.
I started working as a camgirl for the freedom, not so I could cam 30 hours a day hahaha - but mad respect for girls who choose to see them through!

I think 2 weeks ago I sent an email to Liz out of desperation because of no traffic in my room and the european representatives told me the same (aka, is my job the traffic they send to convert), just - I had no traffic! I was thinking something must be bloody wrong with my account because my placement is pretty ok, middle page 1. I haven't had a reply from Liz at all. I am with Boleyn Models and they had the patience to explain to me is just the traffic in the summer and back 2 weeks (or a week ago?) it was a massive fuck up with the traffic for european girls. Meh, so much from Streamate for the european girls... Hate them with no support or reassurance. Been told by studio that Streamate has the habit to update massively the site during slow periods of the year (I know for sure it was January to February) and I suppose now. That shall pass. I am used to make way more than I do those summer months, making 40-50% less and no motivation to stay long hours in a empty room just to reach the targets.

Just got back from vacation so my patience is really high yet very low. The last two days back have been dead as a door nail until it wasn’t. No one in my room then back to back shows. I usually love summer camming except for the end of July mid August. Holding out hope it is just that pattern because I am the worst when I am bored.

Ugh it drives me mentalllllll when SM support tells me what I'm experiencing isn't true! I have cammed for 10 years. I have been on SM several days most weeks for YEARS. If I notice something is wrong....something is wrong. If the traffic seems different....then it means its different. Its not me. Its not my settings or one of the obvious things they say. The lack of respect when it comes to our knowledge makes me madddd! We could be sharing useful observations and insights. But noooo. Its just us not being good enough on cam that day.

Park, stare, waste my time, chat shit and never ever tip. Loads of them. I recognise their usernames immediately. Why all at once lol?
Also wtf is today's traffic? I raked it in in my first hour which was a nice surprise and now? I'm having going a good few seconds between people coming to my room, just to stare and go.

Ok so last week my password didn’t work. I requested a new password link and it wasn’t showing up in my yahoo mail. So I emailed
[email protected] and she set a new one for me and all was well.
[email protected] finally decided to answer the email I sent them telling thwm
i didn’t get a new password link. They took it upon themselves to change my password after Liz already did. They said in the email that the new password would be in a seperate email. I didn’t receive that second email. I keep doing the “forgot password” function to get a password reset email and its not showing up in my email, spam folder or anything. I don’t get it. I’ve checked the email filters and I have none in place for anyone. This is such bullshit. I haven’t been able to log in for two days. Getting really upset. Really needed to work today.
