One thing that keeps me going is even making 10 an hour is better than dealing with angry customers around the holidays.
The job I left camming for was actually a pretty cushy desk job not dealing with the public, but I'll still take camming over it! My boss played favorites and I hated making small talk with my co-workers. At least when it's slow, I can read or watch TV from the comfort of my own bedroom.

SM is high-key annoying today.
I was talking to some regs and having a conversation.
I didn't notice that they had left!!
Which means I was talking to myself ugh.
It no longer says "user left" or anything like that. wtf
Same
I think sm is kicking people out of my stream. There are way too many people leaving mid conversation all week it’s weird. Also I don’t get notified when someone replies so I have to use party mode or individually click on each person km talking to see if they responded or not.
Yes Im not sure what is happening but I was actually enjoying it seemed to make them tip more LOL maybe they are asking them to tip to continue chatting?

Take no notice of those weirdos. I’ve lived in England all my life for over 25 years, not including this one time I lived in Spain for maybe 2.5 months.
I’ve still had guys come to my chat room telling me for a fact that I’m not British because they can’t place my accent to a particular region in Britain. Go figure. They each got soo worked up about it too.
Tbh it’s helpful when they immediately start obsessing over location because they’ve instantly filtered themselves out as not worth my time.
i wonder why they are genuinely so bothered about it? its so bizarre to me. they know we wont meet them, so why do they give a F what our nationality is?

Tags don't show, room topic doesn't show, entrance and exit into chat doesn't show, GOLD tips don't show, Tip vibe doesn't work...
What else are you going to fuck up and make unusable Streamate?! At this rate we're going to be working with a bare bones interface by the Xmas/New Years contest (we all know it's coming). Yet here we are, dancing with the devil for that extra 50%.
Get your shit together Streamate.

damn, SM going from bad to worse huh. i actually managed to make $100 in 4.5 hours yesterday, but i did have to hustle more and do a couple of gold shows which i never normally do. today just doesn't seem worth it at all - i can barely tell if there's anyone there to even talk to. i just wish SM would appease us by giving us an actual bonus, ie. 'here's a few hundred quid to say sorry for the bullshit' rather than making us fight over scraps like this. 50% of fuck all is still fuck all.

Just a heads up tips are being paid but not showing at all in chat or showing up anywhere but in earnings. Guys may be tipping and you'd have no clue at the moment.
I have the similar shit with them entering/leaving the chat. Nothing is written there anymore. I mean there are no lines as: '____ has left the room"/was booted by a model"
Extremely uncomfortable for me.:(

For real.
I look at the people who died in Kentucky and Illinois from those tornados cuz their evil bosses told them they'd get fired if they left...no wonder so many people wanna do OnlyFans, or cam.
And even if people choose OF or cam, they are bothered with different kind of shit lol.
Motherfucking fuck.

Thank you!
I am mostly fine with SM, but when they announced that 50% bonus week, my first thought was something like "oh they are probably gonna fuck something else up' hahahha
And I am not even a pessimist! It was just logic since they disable option by option recently.

I messaged Liz and she sent me this from support about the gold issue:
Thank you for your report. This is currently a known issue and our Technical Support Team is working to resolve it at this time. We do not currently have an ETA for a fix, but we thank you for your patience while we investigate the issue.
good to know but honestly i would have a hell of a lot more respect for streamate if they would openly, publicly acknowledge site wide issues. either a tweet or a banner at the top of the dashboard letting us know they are aware of various glitches and working to fix them, even if they don't know when things will get resolved.
it is super frustrating to send in a glitch report only to have tech support generically respond and ask what your computer specs are, as if it might be our fault. it is very clear as evidenced by this forum as well as the #smglitch hashtag that many of us are experiencing the same issues.

I completely agree with you on this!! This is all I expect and I don't think its much to ask. I think the majority of us would still grin and bear it and continue to log on our usual times, but KNOWING that they're aware of the issues and acknowledge the problems would be nice. Instead, we're all left wondering how long this will last, and we second guess our computers, webcams, internet connections etc. It's frustrating that we're all getting the generic response and seems like a waste of time on all our parts that they're offering the generic replies from tech support. Just let us know they're aware of the glitches and are working on them and I think we'd all feel a little better about this. Unreal

Customers in over the preset limit and not getting paid for the time. Has been happening to me more often, usually CS is good about putting the pay back but are giving me shit this time around. They really need to get rid of that free 30 seconds.

Might be worth editing the time out of your post because there might be people reading who will take advantage.
They refused to give me my money owed for private aswell. Told me there’s a threshold before charged. I know damn well he stayed longer. I explicitly explained what had happened but no luck. I just didn’t get paid. Piss take.

By no means did I have an easy breezy time last night. But I did to my knowledge see everyone showing up and what they said. I was wondering if those who can’t were using party chat or classic. Also the general chat settings might have been tweaked in the ongoing work, so I would check those settings to make sure they are where you want them. Like notifications and how you view chat.
I also was seeing all my tips show up in chat, I’m sure that glitch will hit me next time I work though. My two tip vibes did have problems staying connected in a way that very much seemed to be Sm’s problem
I checked my settings quite early on, double checked partly because there was the monthly W10 update reputed to throw settings. Did not see any change. Did toggle a few things on and off just in case but still same issues. I am usually 'I'll make this back tomorrow' but it was second day this week when traffic and spending was dire BUT I do wonder if I was responding to the tips which I could not see, would the customer have gone further?

I had a job where I worked customer service and social media from 4pm to 1am and 5pm to 2am on the weekends. It snowed so much in Michigan. I remember they wouldn't dismiss us when it was snowing so heavy unless we used our own vacation time. I was naive back then. All I remember is going out to the parking lot with snow up to the mid way of my door and no plow trucks insight at the wee hours of the morning. It was so utterly unsafe and ridiculous. I should have quit right then.

Hey, what is y'alls understanding of how the bonus works? Do you get that extra payment right after the bonus week is over, or is there a delay?
JustMilfnAround
12-16-2021, 08:36 AM
This is exhausting. I got so bored I actually tried out a tip site just to actually talk to people and I’m usually totally against tip sites for myself because they don’t really work well for me but I actually made more money on there doing nothing than I did all day on Streamate which is NOT the norm.
I’ve been using an i5 9th gen intel laptop for the past two years and am thinking about upgrading to see if it will help. Not sure weather to go with a i9 intel laptop or to try a MacBook Pro 14 M1. What do you gals think? Anyone switch over to apple recently? Does it work well with Streamate?
I'm an Apple person and have pretty much streamed with my Macbooks forever UNTIL SM introduced the verification scan prior to streaming. I had to go buy a Windows based laptop because after 2 days of fucking with it and multiple unanswered questions/requests for help from support I gave up and bought the Windows laptop as my last option. I recommend sticking with Windows for streaming. I ONLY use this laptop for streaming now.

12-16-2021, 08:39 AM
Man, this is really tough. I sat for 5 min with 0 potentials, had people coming in and not saying anything, so I decided to check my stream. Well, a guy who was sitting in the room was chatting but it wasn't showing up in the chat. I just by chance saw it because I was watching my own stream and saw his chat in the other window.
Tips are working now, but chat isn't.
So if you're sitting with people in and zero chat you may want to refresh stream.
This week is getting harder and harder :(

If you girls are wondering why traffic and stuff was so messed up yesterday, it could have been from the fire that broke out in Kansas and Missouri had like 140,000 people without power. Horrible windstorm. Believe me, my dumpster is in the woods lol

Holy shit. 0 potentials - 0 members 5 minutes in - usually my room is relatively busy within 5 minutes. Holy FUCK!
This is absolutely BRUTAL.... 15 minutes only a few in and outs and no interaction. Ouch - time to pick up another site.
JoiDivision
12-16-2021, 09:32 AM
I'm jealous of those of you who always have traffic 5 minutes in! My potentials have been 0-2 all week and traffic has always been relatively abysmal for me. I must not be on the algorithm, however that works. I do get guys popping in and out of my room, but as far as paying customers, I really have to depend on my regulars. Yesterday I was so desperate I was PMing customers I haven't seen in months saying I missed them, lol.

All I've had today are shows with people telling me that they 'have to be fast' - it's such a fucking turn off and is putting me in SUCH a foul mood. If you want a quickie, stick to fucking pornhub you stupid fucking twats.
I flat out turn them down now or if they insist I let them know how the show is going to be because I can't get totally naked and pound myself in 1 second.
One thing that keeps me going is even making 10 an hour is better than dealing with angry customers around the holidays.

WTH is up with placement? Tera Patrick is camming on SM and I found her on the 4th page?! Tera Patrick. Seriously? She should have showcase placement and be at LEAST top row, top 2 rows....
Many front page girls are scattered around pages 2,3, 4 and beyond.... I finally gave up.
I'll just come back Sunday when this BS is over and spend my weekend picking and signing up for a new site.

So I submitted an update to my SM profile yesterday because I wanted to add that C2C was available in private as well as exclusive since I raised my rates. All I did was list c2c as an option for my private show with the other things I offer. It was rejected and I got this email from support:
"You recently submitted an update to your public profile on Streamate Models. Unfortunately, we can't approve this update for the following reason:
Cam-to-cam (c2c) is ok as long other person is not seen. We do look for models on cam that are not on your account.
In order to fix this issue, please log into your account at streamatemodels.com to make the necessary changes to your profile."
Seriously, like wtf does that have to do with offering c2c?! No where did I say I would be showing their cam to the chat lol. I swear support just gets dumber and dumber. I resubmitted the update again and didn't change anything so we'll see what happens.

I am assuming it will be added onto the next payout so whenever you get payed for this weeks work, which for me would be next Thursday. I get payed through ACH.

All of it was ok.
But, they said to remove my cam name ( which has always been there).
Not my last name, but my first name.

So, what now? I'm going to be like Prince? The artist (cam model) formally known as?

Please remove all references to "Findom". Thank you."
Which has been in my profile for years lol. Yeah, I'm gonna say there's some sort of bot auto reply glitch. As of right now my profile looks like the same (still has findom listed and c2c for exclusive) so I'm not going to mess with it until they get their shit worked out. This has all been such a headache lately.

A couple of them actually did hop into my room and do shows with me, though. I'm sure it varies a lot. I assume a lot of guys are spending their money on gifts for their families and such. When I look at my earnings from this time last year, my income was a LOT higher. -shrug-

Yes, that was scary. I saw chairs blowing off porches. The smoke smell gave me a headache so I can't imagine how the people closer to it felt. Amazingly, my internet was not affected. My stream was better than the day before. lol

I find it so rude when someone brags about how busy they are when someone is sharing their less than great experience.
There's nothing wrong with "bragging" but it's rude and disrespectful when bragging becomes a pattern that invalides other people's experience. There's a difference between rooting for someone and say shit that makes people feel they're the problem.
That's like when someone shares their struggle with bills, it's not the time to say how much shopping you've been doing or it's been wonderful, and you're making so much money. It's not the shopping or making money that people resent but the INDIFFERENCE to their experience and struggles.

I was thinking the same thing about last yea. Last December around this time was way better than my current earnings. Only thing I could think of the extra unemployment bonus was still a thing in the U.S. back then so more people had money to play with I suppose
