When trying to do a GS and I ask a member who has been sitting there for 8 min to chip in. His response, "I'm waiting for others to chip in".
If he were in front of me, I would have def punched him in the face.

I wish it was dead for me. I was just drowning in freeloading assholes tonight. To top it off, some guy got pissed off that I declined to stick my stiletto heel in my ass for him during our show despite my NO ANAL bio description, rated me a 3 and also tagged me "douchebag" and "selfcentred".
Aaaaand SMSupport said no to both my requests of a static display pic and the removal of the 3-week hold, with no explanation. Why am I not getting the great SM service you all do? I feel like someone there hates me. :-\

I cant believe how dead SM is this week & my period is coming, i was hoping it'll come with some delay so i can cam til saturday but nope, it's here, i take 3 days off normally cause of heavy flow but this week i need to work around it somehow cause i need money, i took time off over xmas so i cant afford not to work now. Jeeez, my % in paid is awful, terrible, i am looking forward to a busier 2016 but from experience i can tell things are slower (for me anyway) for every year going by. I dont think it's me getting old, it's just how things change in time with cam industry.

It got slow as time went on today. The same guys sat in my room for 3.....THREE Gold Show countdowns. Luckily, I made my personal weekly goal so I wasn't getting angry and ejecting. But....why???? Why do they sit there?? What the fuck are they waiting for??? I just picture them all sitting there with their mouths open staring at a screen rubbing themselves - like a bunch of horny zombies. Like, what....the....fuck???

My period trick: domme and fetish shows only. Make a notice saying you're just doing whatever fetishes you're comfortable with. Get a hot water bottle and a thermos of herbal or fruit tea. Get online, explain the situation to regulars, hustle fetish guys and log off as much as you need to to keep sane.

Then another, comes into pvt, puts on his cam, gets booted after 2mins, comes back to freechat and says, 'it said something about hitting a limit,' so I ask him if we can increase it, he said no, but 'can I see your tits here anyways so you can do some thing here to help me out?' Excuse the holy fuck out of me but you spent your limit on othe models and *I* should show you *MY* tits for free to help *YOU* out? Get the fuck out of my room.
These guys.... Sometimes I swear, act like such entitled losers after spending their money elsewhere. Annoying.
If it makes you feel any better, 'hitting their limit' is the fake excuse a lot of cheapasses use for doing short privates so they sound like they're actually big spenders.

Why do guys think it's going to earn them brownie points if they say shit like "Oh you're being so kind talking to a lonely broke old man"? Once you openly admit to being a broke loser I really have no more time to give you.

Are you openly asking for a 5 star rating? That's what I do and I don't get anything but 5 star ratings (when they bother to rate at all). I have a copy and paste message that I post in the show as soon as they take me private that says "Welcome to my hot private show. If you enjoy it please rate me 5 stars. Rate me 5 and I'll send you an extra special thank you ;-)"

^ I do, yes! The last one I had was a fairly long show too so I would've assumed he was satisfied. Bah! In my first four months on Streamate I only got anything below 5 stars twice. Bad luck I suppose.

I refuse to say everything has gone wrong today, because I'm still on my feet.
But you know those times when you plan a show for daaaaayyyzzzz, but on D-Day one thing goes wrong (=bank acc. does not have my payoneer money yet), then another thing goes wrong (=the shop that is supposed to have the game I was planning on playing, doesn't have it in stock after all), then a third thing (=piercing shoppes are closed), then a fourth (=my back and right hip went snapcracklepop while walking), and all of a sudden you're stuck on your couch in sweats, with OTC painkillers and a few ciders, with the gear you were planning to use on your uber-awesome show in a plastic bag on the bed? Yeah, one of those days.
Also, not a vent, but super-blaaaah: my twitter acc is stuck at around 40 followers, most of whom are fellow-camgirls. Having to cancel shows at the last minute doesn't really help with the whole "popularity thing", does it.

As if learning that I was super dumb when I signed up and went with i-camz thinking it WAS streamate.. they are straight up avoiding payment. I have three days to pay rent or hello eviction, I have zero food in the fridge, and I have addisons. I'm out of the meds I need, and I have no way to pay for them. I seriously don't know what to do. $1500 is a lot of money not to have when you have zero. I'm scared and I don't know how to handle this.
Fuck you after the holidays, xmas, new years, rent, and football playoffs. Now my guys are broke and holding out for more playoffs and Super Bowl or something. No money. Just fuckity, fuck, fuck. January sucks big, hairy, disease crusted oozing sweaty balls.

It irritates me when an indy guy is taking his sweet time paying, and I have 3 other serious show requests. I never know if the first dude is just slow and I should wait, or if he is flaky and I should take the other show(s). From now on, when guys ask if I'm free, I think my response will have to be "At this very moment, yes, but you aren't the only person trying to set up a session right now." I don't know if that will scare guys off, but I can't think of any better way to politely indicate that my policy is first paid = first served.

stress...!!! and lots of it. I seriously just dealt with my kids home for 2 1/2 weeks from winter break, my newborn baby girl and some marital crap. I have absolutely no one to talk to but myself. My mother in law is a negative, ruthless and angry woman. I have to deal with her getting between hubby & I. It's finally eating me up after 10 years with all of it. I have no mom to vent to. I just want to break stuff, I can't tolerate bullshit anymore.

I am panicking a little that I'm not going to be able to hack it at SM much longer with the new placement criteria.
- I can't run recommended settings, I have to run best of legacy settings, because my computer (i5, 4GB RAM, Macbook Air can't handle it) So I can't even get 1280x720 settings going. Today I asked some guy where he found me and he said the second page. I've never been on the second page before that I know of!
Plus, my hours online dropped to POOR because of combined Christmas days off and horrible flu apocalypse, and my attempts to run the higher settings resulted in a 300-400 turnaround time, so now that's frozen at below average too.
Now I'm terrified I'll never get back my placement and earn! I was doing so well paying off my debt and now I can't cam again for two days and I'm freaking out that I'll never get my mojo back!
Someone please talk me down from the ledge. :(

Dont worry, things will improve for you very soon if u keep going, i also had a similar situation when i did terrible before and right after christmas, i too took few days off over xmas cause of the stupid contest & was feeling i will never get back into business making money again but then it happened, i worked 2 days -> NYE and the 1st of jan. when there were around 400 models online, i raised my prices & did great, i made in two days more than i did on xmas week all together.
Now i also have a situation with my period but i worked last nite & did good.
Things ALWAYS but ALWAYS will get better after being bad, i can tell u this from 15 years on cam :). Good luck!

I just bumped a thread for you about Mac users having probs w 720. I wasn't able to do it until I used CamTwist..and my Mac is also i5.... Read it and give it a try if you haven't already. My placement is back to normal now!

^^^ They could've be lying but they also could've been telling the truth. These last couple of weeks I've had quite a few guys say that the gold button and private wasn't showing up even after I told them to refresh. A few others had issues with the gold button or private button going through. They said they clicked it but they either got errors or it wasn't connecting.
