There needs to be a way to cancel / delete pending mass messages for when we make mistakes (typos, uploading the wrong media, FORGETTING TO SET A DAMN PRICE AND ACCIDENTALLY SENDING NUDES FOR FREE TO THOUSANDS OF FOLLOWERS LOL) or at least make every option on the mass message mandatory (schedule, price, etc.) before it gets sent out.

I've had a video "In Review" for 3 days. Usually it takes a few hours.
Anyone else having issues with this?

The proof is not only in my paycheck, but in my quality of traffic. I went from making around $150/hr, down to $120/hr, down to $100, then now I'm sitting at around $84/hr and I've even lowered my rates.
The quality of traffic is fucking awful. Lots of cheapskate losers claiming that $3 for a fucking gold show is too expensive. This isn't OF, get the fuck outta here.
I remember when I first started almost 10 years ago, I'd have like 40 people in my room. It seems like it's gone to more of a "tipping" site than anything. I hardly get pvts, it's mostly tips and selling videos and daily pics.
I've started truly hustling my IG, got on TikTok and am considering making an OF. I even read that a lot of girls make bank on Twitch just being teases.
I agree about the site glitches, too. A lot of guys getting kicked out especially on c2c, and one guy kept coming in and out of my pvt and I was like "what's going on? Are you trying to spy? You're being problematic." He said, "I'm really sorry but your screen keeps going black." When he tried to turn on his c2c after the other guy left, he couldn't get it to work. He spent like 8 minutes with me in pvt just trying to get his cam to work because the option for him wouldn't even show.
Not only is SM making a terrible work place, they're also making it terrible for their customers. It's still my favorite site, but I feel like I gotta start working up a backup plan
Not sure where the comparison with Onlyfans comes from. I do streams on Onlyfans also and my ticket is $5. Based on what we reach, I’ll do certain things.
I feel like cam girls instead of being frustrated with cam platforms being a shitshow (low traffic, low commission, absurd rules, useless features) they are coming for other creators.
I did camming, SM was my bread and butter until last year. I left cause it wasn’t what I needed anymore, but I not once blamed other platforms or performers for my unhappiness.

I wish I could remember what model on here encouraged the daily $1 photo mass message thing. I've been doing it and pull about $15-$30 daily. That's over $465 a month for only 5 minute a day. So whoever that was, thank you!
Same here.
I sent out my first mass message for delivery yesterday ( Saturday).
When I logged on I saw that several customers bought it.
They ALL came into my chat and bought a show too! Woohoo!!

Although I got this to work the first day I tried it, today this method is not working at all. Back to turning phone on and off every 20 minutes.
Sorry girls, i wasn't around for a couple of days. I forgot to mention that next day, when i came back on, i logged on site, connected toy, the button stayed blue but on my first tip, surprise...no vibrations....i've faked a bit for the guy because he was very excited but right after he left i thought to re scan the QR code once again and surprise, it worked. Since that day, every time i login on Sm and connect the toy, i scan the code as well!

I'm not blaming other platforms or performers for my unhappiness though. A model in here asked me why I personally thought the traffic was dying and men were getting cheaper, and I said my reason based off what I've learned and have experienced.
And I wasn't trying to compare OF to camming, but when a majority of men are now use to paying $15 a month for all their porn needs, it's no wonder why men come into gold shows and say $5 for one show is too expensive. Especially when these same guys ask me if I have an OF

If we go down the rabbit hole, we should blame Myfreecams, Chaturbate, Bonga, SodaCams, Stripchat for allowing shows in free chat. Or maybe the free tube websites or maybe the white labels that spread free content for “promotion”. Or the leak websites. Or telegram, Twitter and Reddit, all full of free content.
Onlyfans creators aren’t stealing any bread from cam girls. Most people that expect you to be naked in free chat, expect free nudes from subscription based girls. A cheap ass will end up being a cheap ass on any website. Same thing goes for paying clients. We all offer a service, customers decide how they wanna spend or skip.
If there is someone to blame, that’s Streamate for not being able to provide for the performers. Where does your 65-70% go? To Onlyfans or Patreon creators? Nah.

I do agree with you about the rabbit hole, but I'm not sure what I said that made you feel I said "OF is stealing money from cam girls." I keep trying to tell you that's not what I think and it seems you're firm in believing it is. I'm trying to simply state that I think there's a bit of a TREND right now where men PREFER OF to cam sites because it's more affordable.
I'm not gonna go back and forth about this. You seem to have taken what I said personally.

Easy with the passive aggressive attitude.
I’m just unsure why models tend to go against each other (as in comparing a platform in a negative way), when they should first question the website for lacking what they need.
Even if people switch preference, that shouldn’t be something you had to worry, it should be the website’s first priority to offer you the necessary tools, enough so you wouldn’t compare platforms as the “good” and “bad”. That’s why SM takes so much, cause they brag on providing “high quality customers”.

Currently sick and feeling like ass �� but got online this morning to make 2/3 of my goal.
It was steady for a Monday. Might jump back on this evening before cut off. The only benefit of being sick is working for myself and having the chance to log off and and relax whenever I want, Verses a in person job where they expect you to work through it. Ugh.

I got online yesterday, the first time since Thursday, and I noticed an influx of guys asking me for OF, skype, adding to facebook, etc. Some of their questions weren't going through at all - using banned words. Maybe there is a new white label site, or SM ramped up their advertising.
I wish the Lush would work properly. I get tired of having to check it every 2 minutes to turn it back on, or maybe mine is broken.
Outside of that, streaming was good.

What's the difference between mass message vs. activity feed? Have you noticed any difference in earnings / unlocks when you send a Pay To View photos / videos via mass message vs. post on the activity feed? I was wondering if clients prefer one over the other or not.
I'm also curious where they see this activity feed, I assumed when they log in they just see cams on the front page with their favorites ranked higher, I'd love to see a dashboard screenshot from a member's POV.
With mass messages at least members can respond to the message. But can they respond to activity feed posts, or like them? How do I know if clients are engaging with what I'm posting on there?

I think the activity feed is more like a facebook. I have a customer account and when I clicked on Activity Feed, it shows me posts and statuses and stuff like that from models I've favorited. Mass messaging is when you send out a mass message to clients who've taken you pvt or have paid for a gold show and you can attach a paid media item they can unlock for a fee. You keep 50% of that.
I do a mass message thing and I truly believe it's helped

Just a warning girls: If you get a friend to sign up for Streamate as a model, make sure you tell them that if they write anyone at SM an email asking for approval and they even USE your name (Like "My friend is bigbum and she hooked me up with this and so I'm opening my new account) you run a huge risk of getting your account closed.
That literally just happened to me.
My friend wrote SM and said "Hey my friend XXXXXXXXX and she's helping me open up my own account. I'm excited to get started as a new model. Can you approve my profile?"
I couldn't work this morning because I couldn't log in. I checked my email and got a letter from SM saying my account is closed because "broadcaster requesting new account".
I wrote Liz and Jax both and I'm not gonna lie, I'm beyond infuriated and scared to shit. I didn't even get an email asking "Hey, are you trying to open a new account?" Did they not even look at her legal name and mine? I have ZERO idea how they could have come to this conclusion. So just a warning. I've written Jax and Liz both and have yet to hear from them. I really hope I do soon.

guess i'm in a pessimistic mood this morning but my first thought when i read this was that this information could be used against someone... like a model or a member sabotaging another model by writing support to "request a new account" in order to try to get the other model's account closed. especially if it's as simple as the initial message you wrote.
also, is there even a model referral program anymore? there used to be where you'd get to keep a small percentage of the new model's earnings for their first month or something. if that no longer exists i don't see the point in a new model telling support about their friend who referred them.
anyway sorry that happened. sounds like a typical SM support mix-up/not actually comprehending the message, and i hope it gets resolved for you asap.

So someone started a show with me, turned his cam on, and a woman was sucking his dick.... That's not something I can get in trouble for, right? Its just me and only me on my stream and I have no control over what a customer has on cam, so I should be fine I'm assuming... Just gave me a wave of anxiety, not gonna lie.

You'll be fine, I had something similar a while back and freaked the hell out the same as you! I panicked and messaged Liz and the gist was that as you said, it's only YOU who sees what's on their cam screen and that's down to whatever you are okay with. The issue is what's shown on YOUR screen where it's visible to anyone, like if you showed porn to him on your phone which obvs you wouldn't. Please check with Liz if you're worried but from my experience (my guy had porn on his screen) you should be fine.

Nah girl. You're not being pessimistic at all. That's actually a really good point. The email my friend sent was, "Hey Liz! My friend is XXXXXX and she encouraged me to sign up to be a cam model. I'm so excited to get started! Can you verify my profile for me, please?"

Oh my God... why are men so fucking sick? I'm so glad I've never faced that before. I think I did once where the guy turned his cam on really quickly and the girl was sucking his dick. The moment I said something like "Oh wow!" he turned off the cam and left the chat. I didn't know if she knew she was being watched or not.
But damn. For men loving to be such show-offs, they need to have something more to "show off" and brag about :-\

Oh my God!!!!! I laughed at the "YIKES!" Because I would have TOTALLY been the same! It amazes me how some men talk about their wives/girlfriends to some of the other models. The only thing I've ever gotten is men complain about how they don't get sex from their girl. But if I were to EVER hear a man talk about his wife like that, oh my God I'd probably be traumatized.

a BBW model passed away sept 18, 2019 and her profile is STILL up
her offline placement is around row 3 which is very high for a model that hasn't been on cam for 3 years
she left the house after cam and had a stroke
her last review was August 2019

Ugh, I literally had this happen tonight- guy was jerking off and when he was ready to cum he asked if he should cum on his girlfriends face--before I said anything he turned his camera to a woman sound asleep right next to him, showed her full face up close--I immediately ended show, blocked and reported. Sicko.
I do have some couples who are regs, I assumed it was ok as long as they are consenting. Have another who likes to show videos and pics of the girls he fucks (no faces shown). I think I will re-think that and no longer allow. And yes, it would be nice if SM could lay out very clear rules about all this stuff for us to follow.

Hi guys,
I have a huge problem recently with my audio on stream being extremely screetching and making an echo. I can't even explain the sound it makes, I have it recorded but I don't think I can post it here?
I tried everything to fix it - different browsers, webcams, microphones, even laptops. All updates are up to date. My camera and audio works just fine on other sites, although I tried streaming on other sites with OBS only. It seems like the issue is coming from Streamate, but they don't have any helpful response for me. I don't know what else I can try to fix it... Has anyone had a similar issue before? Please, I really need it to work asap <3

Well, SM answer me about not streaming & getting account shut down, they recommend streaming for at least an hour a month.
Back in 2019 during the whole California AB5 fiasco I was emailing someone from Streamate and they stated "Your account will not be deleted, we have to keep accounts forever (although they will close for inactivity)"
In my experience this is true, as I also once had to re-open a super old SM account of mine to change the address and they were able to do it even though I had long ago left that account and was camming on a new account with a new name / cam persona.
For peace of mind, you can continue to log in every month or so and stream for a bit, but I think they keep an archive of all accounts and are able to re-open them if needed.
