It's so demoralising. I want a minimum of $200 more tonight so I refuse to log off, purely out of fucking spite and because I have nothing else do to. Did you manage to meet your daily target today?
And thanks haha - courtesy of every horny indian man out there
I hope you make all that and more! I did not hit my target, no. Its like pulling teeth getting anyone to talk to me let alone spend $$$. Its honestly embarrassing how little I've made the past 2 days... my self esteem is in the toilet. Sometimes its best for me to step away and start fresh tomorrow or ill burn myself out completely.

I was INSANELY busy today on SM. Customers were fun and talkative. I was online for 6+ hours and didn't notice a traffic decrease. I also talk A LOT in my room in general with no music or distractions in the background. I also rolecall everyone in my room frequently and almost do a forced social interaction.

The same thing happened to me. Since I didn't get an answer from support I emailed Liz and she got me right in but then I got locked out a week later due to support finally responding. I think it's because support has no idea that Liz had already reset my password.
I finally got the second email (which was almost a week after my first email) which was annoying since my password had already been changed. I used that one and got back in.
I would email Liz again and let her know what is happening because support is so backed up this seems to be happening to everyone with a password change.

What times were you online? This is so strange. I'm literally in the top row of performer and all I'm getting are pingers and I'm forcing them to talk to me, but nothing is working. LOL.

Also if you guys don't mind me asking, what are your prices set at? I'm currently at $4.99/minute for private and $6.99/minute for exclusive- should I lower them maybe? Idk.

look at the raise your rates thread to get a better idea. That sounds perfect for a newbie. Don’t lower your rates-it’s a race to the bottom.

There was a site that had Streamate models and their rates without logging in--it was something mycammodel? Is that site still around?

Starting to think I should raise my rated too....I've been on the site for years and still have newbie prices. I sell myself short and assume guys will think im too unattractive or not skinny enough to pay more. Thats a me issue though...

You would think with everything going guys would need a stress release. Maybe I need to work days instead of nights. My best day was Saturday mornings. I don’t know what’s going on with these guys. Maybe tomorrow since it’s Friday-payday in the states-these guys will be spending more.

I used to do the opposite with my rates. I used to increase them when it went mega quiet. I figured if it was that dead, then I may make some extra money for the shows I do get and if I got shows at those rates when it was dead, I'd probably get keep getting them when it was busier. I did that a few times over 1.5years. I'm happy with my rates now.
Plus if people coming to your room and see your rates have gone up, they will probably think there's got to be good reason for them going up. So I used to tell myself anyway. I know if I see things on a discount, I question why it's discounted!

SM has been dead for me this week, granted I haven't been on much. I'm a bit relieved it isn't just me, but it sucks a lot of others are dealing with the slowness.

I'm still on. I've made a total of $404 today, in about 7 hours of work? Ish? I've decided to stay online for a little longer just to see how it goes, but traffic has definitely picked up during a later shift! It's still slow ish, but at least tolerable as people are talking and engaging etc

that is really dumb that they lose the button when so many guys just pop in and out of private with no intent to stay and pay. ugh.
i would write into them with a suggestion to change this, but i've written in SO much feedback to them over the past year or so. it feels like any legitimate suggestions/improvements i write about just get ignored while they work on releasing new features that no one asked for. super frustrating.
I'll write them about it, anonamiss;D I leave feedback, too, and also feel I write there too often. But I dont care, I'll be like the sea that shapes stones lol.

yay glad it got better for you! i was on for 6 hours tonight and exceeded high goal thank god, but traffic still felt very dull and dead for the most part. esp since i can usually make it in more like <4 hrs. the most telling sign of improvement was that towards the end i finally had some periods with 10+ ppl entering at once, which did not happen at all the last two nights.

Does anyone know how the hell to message people using the email and/or new messenger system?
I've starred guys but it doesn't do anything, the only people who show in my contacts list are those who've sent me tips directly after a show? If I just type in a username or user ID number into the 'to' field it always says that I can't contact those users. As for the 'new messenger' I can only search conversations that guys have started there, I have no way to initiate them.
Am I missing something painfully obvious here or is there literally no way to message guys first? :/ I've been avoiding it for months but genuinely need to message someone today..
liquidsilk

yeah it's they message first. Unless you send a mass message, to all paying customers of all time. BUT then you have to wait 3 days or so for it to be approved and it will only be sent to their 'classic' inbox, which is not the default. Customers have messenger mode and have to dig around to change the setting in order to see classic messages. So now mass messaging is pointless IMO.

This week has been slower for me as well; my average is still fine but the site feels like how it used to feel during contests(I feel like back in the day when contests were new the traffic would really die, not so much now though). Traffic is significantly lower, my potentials are consistently below average, and it takes a long time after starting my stream or coming out of a pvt/exclu for the traffic to start reentering my room. Those are all things that used to happen like clockwork during contests.

Support finally got back to me after 5 days of asking them to remove a 3 star rating for just over a minute exclusive. How the fuck do you rate any hoe 3 star when she hasn't even perform?! You dumb cheap fucking fuck. I got the rating removed and blocked his ass. I WON! #dontfuckwithme

Yeah the new messenger is very clunky. It works half the time. Sometimes I will see messages, other times not. Sometimes if I refresh, 10 new messages will appear that werent there 10 seconds prior. It's messy and there desperately needs to be a delete button, not just archive so we can make it look cleaner on our end. I wish streamate would do something about this, not user friendly at all
Marina Starr

I feel the worst are the ones that rate 4 star because that's harder to get removed than 1 star. I prefer either 1 star or 5 star. I want nothing in between.

They should allow us to rate the customers. Imagine, a customer seeing: "He said his dick is big, but it wasn't, and is cheap."
Side note: I've had these below 5 star, jerks beg for a show after cussing at me via inbox. Claiming "It was an accident." They say they will rate me 5 next time, and some do.

God I absolutely HATE this!
I had a “pseudo freeloader” in the other day who sat and chatted for AGES in freechat and then took me into a $50 private show. Annoying but eh whatever. Anyway. He came in again and is now an acute regular lol, but he left me a 3 star rating yesterday and it pissed me off SO MUCH that I haven’t done a morning shift since simply because I don’t want to see him again (:
I cancel clients so easily but I just cannot cope with them at all sometimes.

Not sure if is only my imagination, but for past 2 days, since the bitrate upgrade, everytime my face is not in the frame, the bitrate drops. Is the same using the logi capture in sm connect or only the brio input. The webcam is fine, checked the cable etc. To me, that suggest face traction by Streamate. Autofocus is disabled.

Hi gorgeous people i have a question
For the last 3 weeks, I was on vacation and now I'm back online
To my surprise, the number of people who favourited me went down by exactly 5k (not one more, not one less, I find strange the number being so even), and from the 1st-page im now somewhere in the black hole of streamate listing ...im not able to see myself online no matter how many pages I browse.
traffic is now 80% of people I interacted with before ( probably have me on favourites) and that has me worried.
I feel like im punished for taking time off fml
Any idea on how do I recover from this?

5K lost followers seems a lot! I would def msg Liz to figure it. For example, I went to vacation 4weeks and I lost around 1.2K followers from a total of 40K, which is average for me. Every offline day I lose around ~50 people.
As for position, once you hit 10h online, you should start seeing an improvement, so hold tight until then. Next time you’ll log in, you’ll be closer to your normal placement.

I see the point of it though. I think especially with the 25 hr bonus contests there are more empty rooms for many hours so it might be in response to that. Why expend bandwidth broadcasting still images at 4.0 mb.
I also have a cushion and a couple of dresses with vivid patterns that drop my bitrate and it's been like it since smconnect started. Could have been before as well but we never knew!

I'm not certain, but isnt 60fps overkill for streaming? The encoder on smconnect might cope better with 30 and there is no noticeable difference to the end viewer, just less resource intensive. Unless its giving a placement boost I'd dial it down.

This way am making sure I meet the minimum 30fps (because the network or the lighting may downgrade the fps) and works with firefox fine. Also, I don't get choppy on viewer side. I only cam on Streamate and my PC is HP Omen with 32 GB RAM and i5 10th gen Intel and 6GB dedicated Nvidia.
