I'm going on like 3 weeks of not being able to fix my issue and I'm just so frustrated I need to vent. I know what triggers the issue, I know I resolved it once before, yet for some reason I can't this time get to a working resolution to splitcam effectively. It happens when I unplug one logitech c920 cam and plug in another. When I do this I have an issue with my audio but of course it doesn't happen right away (that would be FAR too easy and less time consuming to troubleshoot.) No, it takes 20 minutes to an hour to manifest the sound of issue of me sounding warped to my camroom. It happens on every site except streamate where I use the fuck-my-life-encoder which leads me to think its a flash issue. It happens on chrome and opera which leads me to think its a chromium browser based issue (which sucks because I love opera). It does not happen on firefox, my sound is beautiful on firefox, except for whatever reason splitcamming is a nightmare. I cant refresh pages or log on and off appropriate sites as needed when splitcamming without everything freezing across all sites. So great, got the sound working now my picture freezes. Lovely. Like firefox just cant seem to deal with 3 to 5 browser windows streaming. I tried edge (HAHAHAHA fetching nightmare, can I make edge not exist? I cant even get ON most sites with edge.) I've cleared cache on every browser. I've uninstalled and reinstalled logitech software, flash, I have fucked with audio drivers. I created an issue at one point where every time my cam was plugged in and I used my mouse in any browser my laptop made a crazy banshee screeching sound coming from the speakers. I've tested and re-tested my internet connected to make sure thats not whats slowing firefox down (I have 300 down and 30 up consistently, I am good. I've splitcam 5 sites on far less bandwidth) I've tried running different sites in different browsers but I still freeze up on firefox. Luckily I've been making ends meet (barely) with PSO and sexting and selling clips and making customs (thank god I put as many eggs in my basket as I could when I did) but I am just exhausted with this issue. Camming is my primary income and I can't afford to fight with it all day and I REALLY don't want to take the paycut of camming just one site at a time. I mean I will do what I need to, I just needed to vent. I really don't expect anyone to know how to fix my issue, I just really needed to whine for a bit so I don't go into full meltdown mode. This tech stuff has had me melting down way too many times because every time I think I have it solved its like a roller coaster and nope, not solved. Sorry for the rant, I promise to post lots of happy shiny positive stuff to balance it out, I just really appreciate the support of this forum. Thank you.

It was great during the holiday why it cant be or stay busy. I know not all the guys are into football world wide. Im not going down on my rates either, cause why they able to pay them all sudden freeloaders come by let me see your face, and other stuff . I feel like giving up. Im not still trying to make ends meet.

I have to switch my shift now because it's so damn slow. I have the place to myself all day for hours and yet I don't make anything. I was working nights last month, mostly because I had too, and that was the only way I made any money. I hate night shifts. I'm pregnant and alone all damn day, so now I have to sacrifice my nights with my husband because these losers only want to talk after 10pm! I barely have the patience or the energy for this bullshit!

I added more content to NF and MV and nothing is selling! I'm trying to avoid making clips because I personally hate the whole "preggo fetish". I feel gross and irritable every day and I'm always in pain. There's nothing attractive about that.

I hate night time shift. They just wanna talk talk talk and one thing I notice they stop asking me do I have toys? they are right in their view. LOL Now what. Where you live? Do you travel? I had to cuss a lot of them out and tell this this isnt a dating site or scene. Dont you see the gold button.. the premuim and exclusive prices and my photos review tags on my page. They are idiots. I feel sad for any performer that dated these jerks its dangerous and not worth it. No one getting that close to me NEVERRRR. They cant seem to keep it professional. COngrats to your pregnancy and try to focus on having a stress free one..

it s just dead. Usually i m not like somebody who give up, but - for me at least - it make no sense, to waste more time online. I m pretty sure, my room nowhere to be found anymore on Jasmin. Lots of "old" models and good ones are just... nowhere to be seen anymore. I work and suck balls there 10 yrs ago now, I m not bad, and I did nothing to be ruined by whoever, while 100 rating studio cunts take over everything. Disappointed as ever.

And is it normal that I often earn 2-10 dollars a day for 2-5 hours of work? I work in non nude on several off-line sites, such as:imlive,livestrip,xcams,adultwork,camcontacts. It does not work to earn $ 100 a day. Sites like: bongacams,streamate,livejasmin,webcamclub,flirt4fr ee,stripchat did not go to me at all.I work 4 years.

I've been so tired these last several days I haven't been on, & when I worked last week I made NO MONEY. I was pulling in $2/3 fucking hours.

I'd rather NOT work then get really upset & stress myself out by being on cam & making NOTHING. That's just a waste of my time & I DON'T need the stress :(

I mentioned in another forum that before the end of the year there were sooooo many guys in my room, I've never had sooo many guys in my room like that.

Now that doesn't mean I made tons of money b/c 90% of them were FREELOADERS.

But my point is the difference in how many guys were in my room compared to the last 2 weeks is shocking.

Where did they all go???

It's not like they were paying before, they were just trying to room hop to get off without paying, or trying to scam me into showing for free.

How is everyone's week? The past 4 days I have not made shit. Today only $9. Plenty of traffic to my Skype ads, but no paying customers. Streamate I have shit for traffic.

How do you do Skype ads?


ALSO had a dude take me for a 30 minute exclusive block session and thought I was quids in, but then he left with no explanation after 2 minutes 40 seconds >:(>:(>:( ARGH

Don't you get paid for the full 30 even if they left early?

I remember a guy took me for 15 once & left after 10, but I'm pretty sure I got the full 15 as I checked right afterward.

I HOPE I did.

There is a certain amount of time where if they leave before that amount of time they only pay for the minutes they were there AND they still get the discount. If you'd like to know the amount of time PM me because I'm not posting it publicly.

$10 for 5 hours for non-nude? It certainly isn't for camming. But maybe a non nude model can weigh in and explain what it is?

Last two days have been awful....Mon and Tues were great, so I really need Fri and Sat to be great as well.

Fridays are almost always good for me, so I have that to look forward to at least.

Yesterday was very bad. Thankfully I worked whole shift plus a half the day before, and reached Yesterday's low goal like that. Anyway, it was like, I was alone in an empty room whole time - earned something ridiculous amount. I m glad that I saved my own ass, let s say.
Today, I got 2 back to back pvt, both longer, wich is much more better than nothing. But it can die off anytime, and stay like that for hours, or god knows for how long. And I m still far from today goal so...fucking crossing fingers now, I hope aint my whole shift ll be ruined, like yesterday. 7 more hours for nothing again would be just awful. Room seems dead anyway.

well... y'know, it certainly isn't always like this - i've managed to just about scrape by for the past 4 years on camming alone, so don't rule it out based on my damning review of tonight! who knows, you might totally kill it :) but yeah, it's definitely a tricky one trying not to panic during the quieter times.

anyway, i've given up for tonight. made $4.55 in 3 hours. nightmare! fingers crossed it sucks A LOT less tomorrow.....

Tonight was going fine until it just completely died out of nowhere... I don't understand why even indy is so feast or famine. Why would I have a ton of guys hitting me up for a few hours and literally none the next few hours? It's not like they can see each other, or pick up on my mood. I'd say everyone went to bed but then where the hell are the Europeans and Australians? This happens all the time, either it's too busy and I have to turn down shows or it's crickets. If I could figure out a way to space these guys out this job would be so much less stressful and more profitable.

Hey everyone! I can't say enough how online bullying and trolling is disgusting. It really crushes a mode's morale and can make us feel like shit. It's not enough that we have our own personal issues to deal with BUT to have some asshole come in our room and say insulting things to us - IT'S INFURIATING.

HOW many times have you had a shity day and some jackass gets on your case? HOW many times have you had an awesome show and then some stupid guy makes you tear? How many suicides and deaths have there been because of these pigs? It's heart breaking and no one listens - no one understands.

We might be in the adult industry, but fuck...WE'RE HUMANS TOO!

Yeah you can ignore their words and pretend like it doesn't hurt. OR some stalker is making you feel paranoid to where you're scared he'll track you down.

Enough is enough.

I've been bullied in my LIFE AND I DON"T NEED IT in my work also - and so have my other cam friends, and I'm relieved that Stripchat is bringing attention to this. Here'a a video of some of my gal pal cam girls telling it like it is:



There's nothing to be earned besides cam models making their statement and standing up to it. If trolling and online bullying is harming you and making you miserable - speak up. You can follow the challenge on instagram @Stripchat.official and with hashtag #StripchatCares.

Advice on handling bullying assholes?

I just block and move on
I do not engage with negative people in my chatroom, it is rarely when I react but when I do so I do it while being calm and in controll
they just hate it when they see they dont have any influence over my emotions whatsoever

Reading books from the Dalai Lama helped me inmensly

The best thing you can do is not excepting and overtaking their anger and narrowmindedness, not giving it any attention or room to attach it to yourself.

Yeah you're absolutely right! I think in the beginning though it's so hard to avoid because I mean, we're already kinda unsure about ourselves and the confidence aspect...well it's not 100% yet. The banning option has helped a lot for sure, but sometimes they still come back. It definitely makes you a stronger person overcoming it...but some models (and porn stars) just couldn't cope. I mean August Ames, only 23! It's just disgusting how sometimes we get influenced by others.

i think something that has really helped me with trolls (though i must admit i have been lucky not to suffer so many) is to remember that THEY are the sorry cases spending their free time spreading hateful nonsense to women they will never meet. when i keep that in mind, it's actually much easier to pity them rather than to see them as a threat. i refuse to act scared or upset...i often don't even block them unless they're being really awful. i generally find freeloaders to be far more annoying and block-worthy than some sorryass troll... a lot of the time with trolls, i'm so bored of being ignored by everybody else, that at least i can have a laugh and rip them to shreds until i get bored of them. one fun thing to do is to play them at their own game: tear them down with a couple of horribly below-the-belt mum jokes or something, wind them up for having a crush on you... and just when this sad act decides that 'hey, she's actually pretty funny and cool!'.... THEN i block them. DON'T give them the satisfaction of being scared or offended. for the very most part, they're totally powerless, pathetic morons who are just desperate for a reaction.

If your job involves working on the internet, you're going to have trolls. Look at some of the comments on youtube videos of popular youtube stars. Look at some of the more popular bloggers out there. They all get trolls. It's not just the adult industry. It's the internet in general. It's so easy to be mean to someone when you're hiding behind a screen. Trolls are sad people that have nothing better to do with their time. I honestly pity them. I've had a troll on one site I work on keep coming back for about a month now. He/She keeps making new names and coming into my room. I don't let it get to me. If anything, I feel flattered that this person has devoted so much time and effort in making these new accounts just to come troll me.

I used to be pretty popular on MFC. I was never in the Top 20 but I made it into the Top 100 many times. Whenever I was in the Top 100, I suddenly had all these trolls coming in telling people not to tip me and calling me names. Now that I'm not even in the top 1000 most of the time, I rarely get trolls anymore. Just remember that you have something these trolls want. That's why they are trying to break you down. Don't let them. Keep shining.

right! i just wish they'd stop with the contests. it feels like it would be much fairer to incentivize us by just increasing the percentage payout, instead of just funneling more money to the high rollers who are already making bank.

I agree, a contest here and there doesn't do anything for 90 percent of their performers. It makes most of us not want to log on during it

My account on Jasmin got banned for 24 hours, coz:
A member, in a 10 min session, just wrote down his phone number. I didnt asked for it. I didnt accepted anything. He just wrote there a fucking number on his own, without a question or anything.
After he did, I Sarcastically I said : "feel free to give it, but I wont do anything with it..." --> it s just me, but I think it s clear, that I dont accept that shit. I never did, and never will.

I went to support chat right after I seen their emails, about "how I asked for personal informations". I dont know, but somebody should be a real idiot to misunderstand something like this. No matter what, they dont listen. And I m kinda disgusted anyway. So a member break the rules again, on a way what is disgusting / disturbing for me, and I got punished? Wtf?

What are your thoughts? Advice on handling bullying assholes?

From the start until now, I improved a lot dealing with trolls. I mean every kind of trolls. Including the quite stalkers. Guys who try to crawl under ur skin. The dead hours. Whatever.
And now, an idiot made my account banned. Out of my fault. What to say? This is just pure shit most of the time. I don t try to fight it, but face it. And move on.

Anyway, this is a Zyzz quote, what I just found, and also this is what I try to follow a while ago.
"Don’t ever pay people out or put people down. Instead just put yourself up and let the haters do their thing. Id rather be a person that’s hated on, than a person that does the hating. A wise man one said.. Haters gonna hate!”
Simple but true.
