^^^This, a MILLION times!! They don't give a sh*t about anything but their dicks!
I get it, we're only 'sex toys', we're on a sex site, blah blah blah... But even really great regs don't care.
I made the grave mistake to mention to a reg, while in an exclusive one time, when it was the last day of payout for that month that I wa short of the funds to pay the rest of my rent, and I was frightened that I would be homeless. (Well, he kept asking me how I was doing, so I was honest). I asked if he could kick in some extra gold to help me out.
He said he wished he could help, but he was running out to go to the casino to gamble! WTF?:O
Needless to say, I never saw him again.
I now know my placed. i.e. Robotic sex fiend.

^^^ They dont want or care to know ladies, when they ask 'how are you?', the answer they wanna get is 'great, amazing, horny, let's play', they mostly dont see us as human beings but sex toys, i understood this many years ago so i dont even mention if i feel not good or are in pain or so. Also they dont wanna be put in the situation to feel pity for us or care for us, it takes their mind away from the reason they are in our rooms, its a mood killer for them, they dont wanna pay for a show & hear how we actually feel, all they want is a sex toy. I remember some time ago i told one of my regs how i gained weight, etc & he started to give me advice of what to eat & the discussion became interesting, he really cared for me to a certain point i felt but then he came up with 'why m i telling u all these now while paying per minute to have fun with u on a camsite?! I told him 'cause u are a sweetheart & care for me baby but now let's get back to business' so i went on with making him happy. He is a great guy tho but still a man lol. So yeah, i dont actually blame them, they pay for fun not to hear what their women in real life tell them all the time lol. I know my place so i act accordingly lol.

This is why I hate when guys say that they 'want to get to know me' or that 'they love me'.
They don't 'want to get to know me' and they definitely don't 'love' me.
They just want me trick me into trusting them enough so they can figure out a way to emotionally manipulate me into fuck me for free because they are to entitled to have to pay to play with their sex toy.
How fucking evil can you get?
Wow. This blows major asshole today.

I have a shorter version of it up for sale but he said ok to me not redoing it. He requested apples and cucumber video too and I bought that stuff the same day but didn't have time to do both the same day. He can't say the apple and cucumber one isn't right since I did it on bare floor.

Streamate has been HORRID for me lately. 6 months ago I could pull off $50+ an hour easily. I took 2 months off and finally got back into it and it's like crickets. I can't make over $5 an hour.
I noticed that my rating since I took off 2 months went back to default so I offered a special of $.99 a minute and if you rate me 5 stars you get an exclusive nude picture. I just wanted to see if the 5 star rating might give a bump (even a small one would be good!) in traffic. Well 10 fucking minutes into that little "promo" some asshole pops into a private and demands that I ride a dildo and I politely told him to go read my profile. He stayed for 3 more minutes just watching and then rated me 1 star. Ughhhhhh. Thankfully SM removed the rating. But I was so pissed off.
Even at $.99 a minute which used to get me a really decent amount of guys in private at once didn't work at all. I'd get 1 guy who would stay for 2 minutes, get off and then leave. I'm seriously thinking about trying a different site. Possibly splitcamming between livejasmin and cams.com... I'm losing my mind sitting in freechat all day and making nothing.

I'm so sorry girlie. *hugs*
When I restarted my account with SM to get on Daily Pay, it took me like 2 weeks to get my ratings back. Now? With the same amount of hours, I get 10-15 5 star ratings per DAY. It was ridiculous. Honestly, just hold tight. It's gonna be a rough little while to get back into it for sure though. A different site might help, but a lot of ladies who've experimented with very high/very low rates have found that the entire customer base changes radically when they jumped to high rates. Assholes at low rates; whales at high ones. Give it another try at your old rates maybe?
Good luck!

Try to sell them on FetLife, someone on there will be into them.
Ordered a pair of fetish shoes from overseas. They came 2 sizes bigger than I wanted. Sending them back will cost me more than buying a new pair and even if they cover my shipping expenses (because it was totally their fault) I'm not getting the money to send them off until past the return date. I doubt I will be able to sell them locally because one, um, can't walk in them so no vanilla person will probably want them.

One guy literally spent 8 minutes in premium DEMANDING that I "CUM NAOO". [13 second delay after I came] "NOW CUM!" [7 second delay after I come again]
Lather rinse repeat until he demands I squirt or gush. I patiently explain for 7 minutes that for that kind of show he should take me to excl because he's monopolizing the requests and that I'm not a fucking squirt machine. I'd been doing this for 4 hours straight and everything in me was sore and sleepy. He moves to free chat. Continues to demand that I squirt if in exclusive.
Everyone tells him to leave me alone. He asks me to fucking pee. I'm like, hells to the no, I heartily plan on sleeping on this very spot and this is a memory foam mattress. The mattress would die with the smell.
Someone takes me private. He joins. Waits a minute.
THEN HE STARTS OVER.
"CUM NOW BB." [20 sec] "CUM AGAIN."
....
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Sometimes I wonder if God made me just so he could see what the most prolifically orgasmic person would be like. AND I'M STILL SICK OF THIS SHIT. I CAN'T SPIT OUT ORGASMS AND SQUIRTS LIKE I'M A FUCKING VENDING MACHINE YOU MOTHERFUCKING SPASTIC HORSEFUCKER.

Camming sucks because I've posted in this thread every day this week. I'm make maybe 1/3 of my normal hourly and it's boring as shit in free chat. I think this is my worst week on cam since I've started. To make things worse, my favorite regular, who spends anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours in exclusive, messaged me about going to exclusive and I missed it, which absolutely sucks.
This just means I have to cam even more than usual this weekend to be able to pay my bills.
On the plus side, I'm getting a new Macbook Pro on Monday so I'll have a computer that I'm not afraid will die every day. It has 16GB of ram, which is four times what my current laptop has. I'm concentrating on that just to make this through this weekend.

I know that this is the camming sucks post... but I had a really good day the day after my last post on here (about not being able to make over $5 an hour). Some of my old regs came back and it was a pretty decent day.
I also did a traffic check on all of the cam sites to see if there was a big competitor taking a lot of traffic away from Streamate. What I noticed is that all the cam sites across the board have been on a steady decline since January. I guess the "summer slow period" is lasting through October? I have a feeling that November/December won't be as good with the Holiday's coming up and Christmas. But ladies... traffic is the highest in January so try and kick as much ass as you can until then. Work on your consistency and placement so you can be in a prime spot for January!

I used to always make my best money in the summer...so I'm thinking guys are over it. Last night I hopped on MFC and had very bad traffic. No one was talking to me (except to beg) so I started lecturing the freeloaders. It was crickets. Finally they all left, so I sat back and decided not to talk unless they talk to me. Then some asshole comes in and anonymously tips 10 tokens (50 cents), with a paragraph telling me to stop texting, pay attention, stop acting like I'm too hot and better than everyone. bla bla bla...."
I don't know if he was there or not since he was anonymous, but really? Keep your precious chump change asshole.
You think I'm texting?: No my phone is in my hand because I use it for my music.
Too Hot and Better than everyone?: You bet dumb ass! I'll let you think your smarter and better when you learn how to tip and man up, rather than saying how you feel hiding behind a wall and then running away.
Maybe tonight will be better and I can post in camming rocks.

I blew out two of my lights moving them around and I still look like shit and I'm out of lightbulbs so fuck this I'm going to read. I didn't make the 100 cut this week in SM. :'(

I don't know if it's me, but all my sites have been super slow and full of rude ass free loaders. I must say, though, that I rarely get onto cam sites because I actually make more doing content and selling it as well as my own independent cam sessions on skype. I am a Domme (both online and real time) and a lot of guys either don't know how to fucking read when they come into my room, or are just trying to be a PITA. I've been called out as a fake as well because I won't give them what they want in an instant. Last night i tried streammate for the first time and logged off when a guy asked me if I'd fuck a beer bottle. I don't get nude or do anything like that on cam (my personal choice) and I expect the customers to give ME a show. I've had success on Imlive and Kinklive, but even last night it was rough at those places too. Like seriously can guys come into a room and treat a woman with respect by at least saying "hi how are you?" I find it really insulting and usually won't even session with a guy who is just trying to blow a quick load. My rates are like 4.99- 5.99 a minute, so I guess that doesn't help. I refuse to lower my standards though...UGH.

I can't wait until we switch my gram's DR. He does nothing. His associate visits her at the hospital and he's the same. We went to the ER in September, she had a UTI and he treated it and she was released. A few weeks later she got sick went to the ER she has UTI and C Diff. She's released and a week later couldn't walk and her C Diff antibiotics were to be done the next day. Back to the hospital and her C Diff is still very present with UTI. Today she was released to rehab got to the rehab where her bp and heart rate was super low that the nurses called 911. Back to the ER and bet you can't guess what she has. UTI! I'm glad I turned in a paper to send her records to a new DR a few days ago. She's gonna go to my pap's DR who's real friendly and has kept my pap going for 81 yrs with a real bad heart.

I had a bad feeling about camming today, but I tried to be optomistic and push through it.
Didn't make NOTHING, but the lack of excitement in the room was pretty dejecting. Bunch of freeloaders and jerks, with the occasional small tipper.
None of my regulars showed up and I have quite a few who are generally there.
At least I don't go back until Tuesday :3

Every single site is at the lowest it's been since January. Traffic has been on a steady decline across the board since then. Mercury is in retrograde this month which means a lot of technical problems which could maybe be responsible for the traffic being much lower than what's usually normal for October.
Is this true? I read in some other thread that October was supposed to be the best month. Makes sense - summer slump is over, it's getting colder and people haven't spent all their money on Xmas shopping. Not debating, just curious.
