See it as a blessing. Maybe it's not the site for you, it's their loss!

I am sorry!
I had the same happening with cam4 site that came up with some crazy motives, all made up crap. I wrote about it in Verified but did not wanted to create a drama in here. Their loss!

It sucks but that is this industry as a whole. When you do shoots and video you can get rejected on your looks all the time, you have to try and not take it personally. Don't let one cam site get you down, there are plenty more that would love to work with you.

I have heart issues and have been having problems this week, spent a night in the ER, I can't even run a Gold Show without getting out of breath. I have only made $58 so far because I have only been able to tolerate 2 hour in front of cam. Then I try to work on SM this morning and am having a huge delay/lag. Everything on my end is fine :( Soooo annoyed.

I hope you're okay Sadie! Rest up!
Camming Sucks because today I got my period one week early which NEVER happens (would explain my extreme bitchiness in free chat lately though lol) and have the most vicious, debilitating cramps so no cam-time today and I'm behind as is. :(

Venting about myself here.
WHY am I sooo lazy? I know I can make money on cam, but I always come up with some bullshit excuse and sign off. Then I wonder why I'm broke.
So duumb
I neeeeeeed to stop doing this. There are girls who put in 40+ hour work weeks on cam, I'm at like 19 hrs for the month. THE ENTIRE MONTH. Why am I so fucking lazy?!?
I feel so vacant and down allll the time. Getting out of bed is hard. But there's no excuse to sit around being all self loathy when my commute is literally just rolling from my bed to my couch. I feel like such a fuck up. I have the best job in the world (camming) and I can't even bring myself to put the hours in. Oi. Does someone want to PM me every day and yell at me to get off my ass? That'd be neat.

BUT I have NO motivation to log on at all.

The best advice I can give you and any girl finding it hard to log on cam is to WORK EVERYDAY even just for a short few hours. Give yourself no excuses to not work. You are owning up to what you need to do so that's a good start!

These are the guys that believe Obama created and unleashed the ebola virus to wipe out Christians because he's the Antichrist. And that the ebola virus is the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.

I think one of the reasons SM went downhill is because custies can get cheaper shows elsewhere. Cos SM takes such a high % girls gotta be charging mo dollar per min.

I REALLY didn't want to post in here, but after reading the above, I'm hoping it's not just me.
2 hours, and NO shows!! That has NEVER happened to me. I stupidly stayed on, thinking it's my hair, I'll change it..my clothes, changed 5 times,,, clothes, my cam room, changed it twice. I stood, sat, turned, ignored, paid attention. Usually one of those things will work.. Yet sadly, nada./:O
I went from always being at 60-74% in paid chat, to 15%.
Last Friday was bad, so I guess it's just a sign that this will be my new day off.
Even regs were insulting, demanding, not saying hello, etc. Hmm...:(

I'm wondering if there was something going on with SM last night and today..? I had my worst shift ever last night.... never had a shift that bad since I started in 2011, no exaggeration. The traffic was there but nearly no privates and couldn't get gold show buy ins. It was a very strange shift.
I'm thinking there were glitches because I had guys trying to go private but they couldn't even stay in free chat, let alone private. Several of them made comments that their connections were messing up, so they were assuming it was a problem on their end but I'm betting it was SM since it was MANY guys.
Very frustrating because the rest of the week had been amazing.
Not even sure if it's worth getting online tonight. Friday is always dead for me lately anyway and if there are still issues... Ugh. I don't know if my pregnancy hormones can handle that!
SarahTime
10-24-2014, 05:30 PM
I think I just figured it out... If you are on a phone and you go to SM, it used to make you download a third party app to view cams. Even as recently as this past Monday it was making you do that. Just now I see you can now view cams on your phone without downloading a third party app, so they have definitely been messing with things.
The connection is very choppy too, which could explain why a lot of guys seem to not be able to stay connected. Ugh. So many guys watch cams on their phones or tables now.

In the last days i noticed a delay in the way i see myself on encoder on sm, i was thinking it must be something with my hardware or connection but i tend to believe now it's SM actually cause the lag on my side is not permanent/ continuous, it comes and goes, other sites work fine so it's not me, the bit rate & fps are stable as well so it must be SM. Of course no business either :(
SarahTime

^^Yah there is serious lag happening. I think it's the site instead of the encoder. :(

I like staying out of this thread, but I am so glad I read it. It makes me feel tons better that I am not the only one who experienced soul crushing disappointment with SM over the last two days. Even this week, for the amount of hours that I have worked, my money is so little. I am behind on rent now and have about 12 hours left to make it up. Do I wonder if SM is worth it? Yes. Will I log on? Kinda have no choice. I just want to cry and drink vast amounts of wine instead.

A guy on Facebook who I used to flirt with forever ago messaged me to ask me out. He has a girlfriend and she tags him all the time but he cleverly hides it from his profile. "Hey cheating asshole. Did you ask your girlfriend for permission?" No reply yet.
sammii
10-26-2014, 06:38 AM
Wtf? Just when I thought men couldn't get any worse today. A different guy I used to have a crush on a year ago (only because he was the first guy I hooked up with after I broke up with my bf) texted me to ask me for an ass picture right after I posted the above vent. I replied "hahahaha." He had the nerve to reply back "but it's my birthday." LOL really?! Im not sure why I'm even replying, but I asked him what he got me for my birthday. His reply: "I can bring over penis." Really?!?!?! :O First of all, I don't want or need your penis. Do I really look like I'm that desperate to get laid? Second, I don't even send sexy pictures to the guy im dating.
He has a girlfriend too. These guys should do a better job of hiding their relationships from social media. It's also pretty offensive to be looked at as some "side chick." Fuck that!
It must be "asshole day." Or "men from my past day." And it's not even 7am yet. It's too early for this shit!

^Men suck, sammii. I keep hearing guys toss around this popular "These hoes ain't loyal" phrase, which makes me lol and smh since it seems like they're the ones who can't keep their dicks in their pants. I saw a FB meme last night that said "Nowadays you can be everything someone ever wanted, and STILL get played."
sammii
10-26-2014, 07:35 AM
^ So true! It's always the most loyal chicks who have the worst, cheating boyfriends. The guys who message me are always the guys who hide their relationship status and untag statuses/pictures with their girlfriend while their GFs are posting about their "amazing boyfriend" all over Facebook. I feel bad their unaware that their "amazing boyfriends" are cheating assholes, but I stay out of it because I don't like to get involved in drama.
And yeah, men definitely suck! I go into every relationship expecting the man will cheat, but maybe I'm just jaded. :/
