I have had tons of glitches tonight and one of my customers said that the site was barely functioning for him tonight.

I’ve had enough this week. The double tips, users logging in and not showing in the side bar, I must have been showing offline or something at some points as my stream suddenly went from 30+ potentials to zero, I had a couple of users getting kicked out of private’s, I’ve not always been getting paid when customers switch from private to exclusive which is a serious piss take. I’m really tired of not being able to block/kick users after I’ve clicked on their notes sometimes too.
Also I know traffic fluctuations are normal but some of them have been very extreme tonight!
I’m really over it now. Rant over!

literally 0 traffic, i worked early shift, mid shift late shift and can sit on SM for 3 hours making $5 I am stressing tf out, my internet is not the greatest so i can't splitcam. I don't know what else to do, I am on phone sites but not getting much calls either. is there something wrong with the site? it can't just be me. it's been like this for 4 days now that i can't even make my $20boleyn payout threshhold. I have car insurance, car payment and Christmas coming and I need to figure something out. I've tried MV live but nobody has tokens on there apparently so any tips would really help right now. I'm freaking out.

It's been the same for me. I'll get waves of traffic occasionally but they arent paying shit. It's nearly impossible to get any interaction from anyone. It sucks. I havent made any of my daily goals since Sunday despite STFO and staying on all day and all night. I know it always bounces back eventually but its painful when it's like this

Honestly this has been on going for a couple weeks on and off for me. Some days are normal, some are great, but mostly been relying on regulars lately. I think its probably a combination of things. Theres clearly some glitches going on and thats definitely having an affect. They just updated the model dashboard last week and whenever there are new update theres tons of glitches and traffic issues. Also, the traffic I have been getting seems extra broke this week. Maybe saving for the holidays or idk. They plan the contests/bonus strategically to encourage us to be online/work harder when they expect profits will be lower. So, it's probably all to be expected. It'll bounce back. It always does. Just know youre not alone!

I jumped on and caught a wave of shows for today. The cam gods showed mercy
One customer told me cam2cam has been kicking him
Another guy kept being kicked when he would go exclusive
The minute I tried logging back on to stream my internet started maintenance for hours. Go figure. Lol

I assume your asking outside of sm:
Are you making clips? That’s always a good back up plan and eventually it will just start paying off on its own if you update daily. clips for sale is kind of tricky because you got to get traction and MV has that feature where we can friend each other on there I think that does some kind of promotion
skyprivate is a good second cam option. I use that when in a bind and will say a really great option if not already have on your plate .

Help! I just came back to streamate after some time away and now the "broadcaster verification" popup stalls out and crashes my browser. I've tried it on two different browsers and each time it just stalled until the browser suggested I quit the page. Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do?
I'd say this happens to me 50% of the time I try to stream, after about 30-60 seconds it says the page won't load or something, I just click 'wait' (on Chrome) rather than closing the page and it eventually loads and works fine

I'm trying so hard to do a 25 hour week but it is appalling on cam today. I think my period hasn't helped in the slightest, either. I'm on $1000 for the week and my goal is usually 2k, but I just feel like giving up at this point.

It happened to me on my Mac (it actually SHUT DOWN MY LAPTOP!) -and after HOURS of research I couldn't figure out how to make it work so thanks to SM I had to go out and buy a Windows based laptop to stream with. I reached out to tech support multiple times over 3 days and got no response, missed 3 days of work... AND had to shell out $600 that I did NOT have! Works smoothly on the Windows laptop. I am sure there is another solution but I couldn't seem to find it.

For all of you struggling with guy's mic. If you stream. On chrome, in settings write live captions and enable it. What the guy says will appear subtitled and you don't have to have his volume on. I only recently experiment with this and i havent fully had it as i haven't had many shows with guys chatting yet.

I'm on $1000 for the week and my goal is usually 2k, but I just feel like giving up at this point. If traffic is super slow and your on your period anyways just sit there and put in the hours. I just mute mine, stick in some headphones and then watch a movie or something in the background and only engage with good clients. I also leave my room open with the sound off when I go to eat something or tidy up a bit. Its annoying to my clients that Im not there but for all they know Im just about to pop back and every min counts!!!! Hang in there girl!

My payment history has NOT updated either, but was paid. Hopefully, I get paid via ACH tomorrow. I'll post if I do or don't.
Thanks. That to me is a really disgusting glitch they are just allowing to slide ? Some things are priority. I don't want to just "trust" them that we have been paid. We need this information for our tax records and it's not something they should just let glitch out for weeks on end.

Anyone else seeing usernames pop in and out during freechat when you have the notification toggled OFF? I hate this so much, I don't care about people logging in and out of my free area. Just tell me when they pop in and out of PAID only. I have it turned OFF but suddenly it's not working anymore. I cleared my cookies / cache etc. but no use.

while I agree the payment history page issue needs to be addressed/fixed, at the end of the day it is really up to us as the contractor to keep track of and confirm accuracy of our own paychecks for tax record purposes. some sites don't even issue 1099s. just saying.
my deposit hit my account on time today but my payment page hasn't been updated since the payment on October 28th.

The fear is real. I read a post a few pages back from a camgirl here afraid to cam on Streamate due to the "grey area" of what's allowed and what's not allowed. Instant ban, warnings, suspensions and so on. I get the funny feeling you hear one thing from "model support" another from "tech support"
This shade of grey is too dark for me. Because of this, I no longer offer ANY roleplay. Absolutely no. I don't care what it is. I'm Jess Ryan and nothing else. Not your neighbor, not your pastor, not your co-worker. NO ROLEPLAY.
Certain words, such as "mom" "mommy" "son" "family" "incest" should be BANNED BY BOTH MEMBER AND MODEL. Better safe than sorry right?? of course I know people find ways around it, but every little bit helps.
I've never been "afraid" to cam on a site (and I cam on a few) until now. For the first time I'm AFRAID of what my members might type in my fucking chat. What THEY type, may get YOU banned.

I'm the same, I'm halfway through my planned hours for the week and I'm exhausted. Ready to throw the towel in. I'm logging on soon and I'm not looking forward to it. If you can smash out the rest of your hours at least you'll get a bonus to compensate for the work you've done and how hard it's been this week x

When my tip vibe disconnects I plug it into it’s charger and then it reconnects but it happens over and over it’s so annoying.

The live vibe button doesn't show anymore. I run the lovense app for a split cam token site and when I have them both on it never disconnects. Only disconnects when I am on streamate without splitting.

There's another camgirl forum where you can post your reviews about the websites and there's a page for Streamate. The whole team is there, including Liz. Lately some people have been ranting non stop there and they do read it all, there's at least 10 Streamate Representatives there.
Well I'm not sure if they truly give af about bad reviews, although the whole forum can read it, IMO we have to speak out for all these damn issues and lack of traffic.
What's the forum name? I'm curious now :p

I question how accurate the site's tax documents will be with a glitch like this. I want to assume it's a minor glitch and doesn't affect any of their record keeping, but being that it has carry on like this for weeks is not exactly reassuring

If poppers aren't allowed why even allow users to have names like this? It all so confusing. The rules are getting harder and harder to memorize. Soon I wont even chat or speak, only moan

idk what it is but I am dead - just woke up from a nap and I’m about to get ready again. Hoping to do 4-5 hours tonight but we shall see, I guess. I hate the end of the month, but the contest always forces me to work more for that stupid bonus. Argh!

I just went into my profile and took out everything about roleplay. I'm losing confidence in Streamate being a reliable source of income now, hearing about longtime experienced models being permanently banned for so many different things. Feels like I'm walking on eggshells and I don't even want to go online there any more, having to force myself.
Roleplay is now going to be off the table for me due to the way guys try to sneak in so many prohibited things. Used to be the main thing I offered (and the only thing that made it not boring for me was the elaborate roleplays I would get sometimes).
Now I'm curious if I'll even make money without it but not risking my account for these clowns. I'm also going to report every single member who says anything prohibited. They need to start making members aware of the rules so maybe if I report every case they will start blocking words on their end like other sites do.
^^^ I understand ur frustration Laurie but u should not sabotage yourself changing the way u cam and loosing income because of it, you dont know what that models did in their shows, maybe they really broke the rules or let things happen when members started to break the rules.
Just do ur thing and stick with the rules and if things go in the wrong direction u simply stop the show, report the guys and carry on.
For me SM is miserable recently, i am not getting any traffic and i barely make anything there anymore. AW is not any better so yeah, the struggle is real.

I'm right there with you hun. I rejected a lot of shows lately even stuff that was probably allowed because the repercussions arent worth it in case they try to type stuff.
Banned words would solve this in a heartbeat.
I'm not even wearing a bunch of outfits anymore that have brand names on them just in case

Yup, i was the same as you in September/October. Ive been suspended by SM 3 damn times, im close enough to have my account permanent if i screw it again.For more than 1 month i was living in fear that every time i come online, i screw it and wake up next day without an account. But in time, ive started to chill and clear my head and refuse sph, blackmail, no more mom, daddy lil girl, no more step mom/dad, etc etc whatever. I've started to refuse like 75% from what i used to do and this helped me cool down and clear my mind. Its very stressful, i feel ur pain but head up...vanilla shows and thats it, its safer! ;D

I’m THIS close to giving up on the contest. I really wanted the bonus but I feel my mental health is much more important at this rate. I cam for the freedom of things, but I have felt like a genuine psycho the entire time I’ve been working this week. I’ve done 7 hours today, I feel like if I wanted a long ass office job I could just go and get one.
25 hours is such a long amount of time to cam for. Especially for people who aren’t fully healthy or neurotypical. ARGH.

Girl I commend you for pushing it through. I tried a contest once, not even one of the 25 hour ones, and after day 3 I was a mental case. And I only did 12 hours total. I love everything you said. If you wanted to act like you were putting in office hours you may as well get a stable salary job with half the physical and mental effort. I quit real estate to do this because I was tired of putting in 35 hours a week and trying to be an author at the same time. No shame. You go girl

I have a question again. Have you ladies seen an influx of baby talk clients? I mean like, INFANT talk nearly? It worries me that men are pushing the pedophilia line without saying it, because I'm getting men wanting me to say things like "Aww I'm gonna make your cummies in my tummy" and "make your little pee pee happy in your cute tighty whiteys".
One guy wanted me to "adore his little pee pee like a puppy and pet it and say how cute it was, and tickle it."
I've said no all times because it fucking creeps me out. They say it's not even infantilism but I'm like....???
