Does the SM encoder detect 4k resolution?
It shows the 4k resolution option but I use the c922
I’ve been told no, sm does support 4k from models
hopefully someone can tell you that actually has experience w it

I've had more regulars spend but yeah traffic has been contest level but my placement is changing every hour or so too so that's probably part of it in my case

Well like I said it's just a conspiracy. Nobody here really knows what's up with Streamate but there's something very strange about these contest weeks for sure
Yes it’s only conspiracy , I really don’t think that’s how they operate
Well I certainly didn’t get more traffic during bonus week for sure and lots of other top models I am in a contact with sucked the bonus week as well.
And once the bonus week was over traffic picked up but instead of 4000 models it was only 1600(on Sunday ) so make sense

The algorithm and leaderboard(during contests) send the traffic to the top. They are not purposely diverting traffic. Why would they? They aren’t about anybody really.
Leadership board certainly helps
That’s why I always advise do not hide yourself even if it’s top 200 or lower because they only show online models so even if you are place 120 it can easily be raw 4-5 on the leadership board and guys do check it and come from there

I think SM servers are hugely stretched with bunch of models and they can’t cope. I personally think that’s the reason we suck sometimes

I noticed better traffic on Saturday and its MUCH better for me today. Really disappointed that it wasn't this way last week. I could have used a proper bonus. I'm busting my ass this week to make it up though. Bitrate has been great and I'm not getting the bs glitches. I hope it gets better for everyone.

Thank you! When I streamed last week it constistenly read 1920x1080 although my camera is 4k. Someone mentioned up thread about using OBS. Now I'm wondering if I'll need to use an external encoder to actually achieve 3840x2160 when I next log in. The same camera reads at that resolution on Twitch and YouTube but not SM. It's not that serious but I'd really to know.

i'm surprised SM hasn't announced a holiday contest yet for the 24th-26th.
also those christmas dates are technically on two separate pay periods. i'm probably wrong but i don't recall a contest ever being split over two SM weeks like that (i.e. on a friday of one pay period continuing through saturday/sunday on a new pay period)
... my placement is changing every hour or so ...
I noticed that too! If i make good money i am on the 1st - 2nd page, if i have bad hour/s i am on the 5th - 7th page and all this in the same day. I never had that before. It dosen't motivate me to stay on at all. They probably changed something in the placement algorithm. At least for the non top money making models and i say that cuz they are still there on the 1st page even if they don't look like they make money hour after hour. They have bad hours too, i am sure. I wonder if they changed that after the talk we had here for the 25 hours bonus where some models left the cam but kept the room open to make the hours.

Never mind it was just announced
4 contests almost in a row with couple days in between
Last year Xmas contest prize were way more tempting . Damn... :-))
anonamiss
12-20-2021, 03:53 PM
welp i spoke too soon lol
i hate short contests. the prizes are garbage unless you're in the tippy top, and generally it's not worth dealing with the inevitable glitches to place in the 200-500s for a measly $50. i'd put in more effort and work through site issues if the prize money was actually worth the headache.
edit: i'm still going to work since i need to catch up from the dumpster fire bonus week, and because i have no holiday plans. hopefully the guys are nice and generous and not assholes.

They sent it We'd, TF :(
Not even the $25 bonus for the 10 hours on the Xmas contest? They always had that from what i remember. I am telling you, we are being punished for that 25 hours bonus thing :-)

Thank you again! This happens EVERY.SINGLE.YEAR. Placement, contest etc. I don't believe that SM punishes people because they're not at the top. They always seem to switch things up this time of year regarding placement and of course there's all the models who come back for holiday money, myself included. Also I still believe how much you make hourly plays a major role in your placement. But that's for paid chat. Get these guys to tip you while you're in a show to boost you numbers. Even if it's just 5 or ten bucks.

its the hardest time of year. we have a lot of contest
placement is always at question, contest added more fuel to that fire lool
questions about added bonuses
late mail
where to find the bonus was added
christmas day traffic, the day after, what $$$$ was made to place last year

I've been racking my brain for months trying to figure out what happens and the only thing that makes any sense to me is that they pull or cut their advertising OR they know based on previous data that it is going to be slow, and the "bonus" is offered because they know we are going to make less so that is their way of incentivizing us to get online and stay online. Since they aren't buying traffic they use the time to do fixes/upgrades to the site. Or vice/versa. My best guess....
I make maybe 1/8th of what I usually do on contest weeks and it's to the point where I just don't really bother unless I need some extra grocery money. Just hustle my ass off when it's NOT a contest. I think the key to making decent income/placement in these contests is to have a LOT of regulars/followers.
And before someone comes in and tells me I need a foil hat and am throwing around conspiracies (it's happened before), it's just how my mind works. I track everything with spreadsheets (date/day of the week/times online, traffic, earnings, etc....) so I am actually using DATA to notice PATTERNS. I've been doing this for 6 years.
I was able to get a corporate higher up from Cams/Streamray to ADMIT they were pulling our traffic when we got into the higher earning tiers in 2018 after many months of me connecting the dots with the data I had and basically pushing the hell out of the issue. I left that site as a top of the front page model after 3 years solid of making them a LOT of money. My income got cut in half, so of course I HAD to call bullshit. A few of their other high earning models left too - and most of the ones that did came to SM.
Could I be wrong? Yes, but this is what makes sense to me at the moment so I'm going to roll with it and adapt accordingly.
why would they pull traffic to models once they got into higher earning tiers? Some models have been suspicious of getting “capped” at a certain amount of earnings..

I've gotten 3840 x 2160 on Streamate and what happened was that nearly every private got disconnected. These guys don't seem to be able to view me at that resolution. I limited it back to 1080 and no issues after that. (probably because some guys are watching on mobile and their phones /connections can't handle it.

Yesss!
I also thought something else. Streamate obviously has it's own favorite models and we know who they are. During contests weeks they send all our traffic to these particular models so they make a lot more as a way to spoil them? Idk just another conspiracy.
you're new to this thread. Every once in awhile someone new comes along talking Streamate conspiracy. No, they don't have favorite models. I know of several "top" SM models who have been recently banned FOREVER, after years on the site for whatever reason. So, no they aren't treated any differently or get more traffic. I make my $$ on my regulars. I never underestimate traffic.
If a guy comes into my room, he may like me or not. Has nothing to do with traffic volume. It has to do with the chemistry of his brain and dick when looking and interacting with me.
The hottest top row model in the world could get all the traffic, but if those guys don't like her, they leave and find a girl who they do like. They ain't spending a dime on her.
The mystery is The Hustle.

It's included in your fan club. You can choose certain vids for the club or all vids. You may have chose a set amount for your fans.
And when fan club members come into your room, they have little crowns too. ;-)

Both parts of the magnet? I lost 1/2 within days, it stays put without it fairly decent. You could always buy a small magnet to attach if the return/replacement is a pain.

I'm not pro conspiracy but if I were to guess one, wouldn't it make more sense to 'push traffic' to tier 2 models to keep 70% over 65%? When I check with customer accounts placement is sometimes crazy but even then I think it's a Hanlon's razor situation. Stuff just breaks, no one high up is twisting dials and shutting off traffic. The advertising thing might be true, why advertise for a week when you know you are patching up flat code. What is definitely true and will be affecting traffic last week and this is that the site has been removed from google :(

If you send the video to them through video manager- yes they will get it for free.
It usually shows up right away in their gallery. You will see a message in messenger stating that you have granted them access to the video.

Did you type in just "Streamate" without the .com? When I do that all I get is Streamatemodels, forums and white labels. Maybe Google finally penalized them because of all the duplicate content.

One thing I've always done if I notice that my regs have disappeared, is to send out a mass email.:writing:
I'll only do it for holidays, etc.,so as not to spam them.
It never fails to bring them back into my room. Most spend.
Maybe they have so many favorites that I got lost in the shuffle.
Not really sure, but I'm done trying to figure it out.
I like that you can customize it, although I always send them to ALL paying customers.
Just a little tip to get guys back into your room.

I am not a top model. Year before last I did shit for xmas contest and didn't place. I didn't make myself available. Last year I made myself available and landed #201 in the contest and I'm primarily foot fetish.
IF if they funnel traffic: why funnel it to my room? I'm nobody on SM really. I just happened to be there offering what a lot of men wanted and they did shows.
Make yourself available and they come. There's no conspiracy. I have really shitty days and weeks, and sometimes I do a bang up job. It's all about being available for the opportunities.
If you're not online...you're not available. I was available 36+ hrs last contest week and did well.
GTFO!!!

I *really* learned this lesson with the bonus week last week. I have a tendency to log off when it's dead and come back later. If I had done that last week, I wouldn't have made anything because it was dead for me basically the entire time. Somehow in spite of that, I made more than I ever have so far in a single week (even before the 50%!).
