YES about that damn feedback noise with c2c! The rare occasion I get a c2c guy who actually talks aloud to me, he'll talk loud af...which really catches me off guard, and then I've gotta quickly grab my headphones (which probably look goofy on me because they're the regular big-eared headphones) since I'm so paranoid that my son will hear this loud mf'er.
I swear, I think I've busted my eardrums listening to guy's cams over the last 8 years.:shocking:
I'm not doing it anymore. Screw that!
It pisses me off when someone in free chat asks me if I have something specific for a show.
Pantyhose, heels, toys, etc.
But then as soon as I say yes, they bail.
GTFO bitch!

I got some weirdos on mfc yesterday.
One reckons his kink is “brother sister”
Another sent me an email detailing his kink is fantasising about impregnating me and then me having his abortion.
That’s so fucked in my opinion.
Have you ever accepted a private like that and if so what’s your minimal amount?

This motherfucker who used to be a reg. comes at me months later and inquires about a show.....then tells me he only wants 5 fuckin minutes. So....you want me to get naked to earn $10, after they take their cut? Normally, hell no. Never. But its been so rough lately I was actually gonna do it and then he said 'no thats okay, you seem annoyed'. After wasting my fuckin time and lowballing me....I blocked his dumb ass mid-sentence. Cheap asshole. Now I'll be good and pissy the rest of the day.

Its just so goddamn annoying because he used to be a decent semi-regular and it literally ENRAGED me that when i agreed to do the cheapass show, he then backs out. Like I'm supposed to be thrilled that you are cheap as fuck, but apparently you think you are too good to just watch fuckin PornHub for free like the other broke dudes. It literally took every ounce of willpower to not unblock him and proceed to tell him all about himself. Im fucking sick of guys thinking that because I'm trans I'm not worth as much as cis-girls, meanwhile I guarantee I make their wives look like a dumptruck.

It has NOTHING to do with you being Trans. They do it to any girl that would allow them be it cis or trans.
Regs have expiration date. You know their time is up when they try to pull bullshit.

Came here just to say this - the timewasters on CMD are so ridiculously bad. I don't understand, I've never had so many time wasters in my entire life. I also bid to have a featured spot and it has just intensified my time wasters and has done nothing for my income. Except cause my to waste $77 dollars with my bid. I even had one timewaster, whom I blocked, who had the audacity to add me on another account - and waste my time AGAIN and try to haggle prices. I'm so frustrated but I can't let my featured position go to waste but idk how to deal with these timewasters without losing my mind!

Yeah, I had high hopes for having a featured spot. It's still early in the week, so I guess we will see - but so far it's not looking good.

WHAT is going on this past week? I have had more timewasters, dickheads, and beggars (and hagglers) than I have had in the whole 5 years I have been camming - COMBINED.
I've had people requesting roleplay (even though it's not listed ANYWHERE ON ANY OF MY PROFILES) Then when I say I charge .50cents more per minute for roleplay than I do my normal shows, they act like it's breaking the fucking bank then they don't want to do the show.
Then I have people who try to get shows for literally $1 dollar a minute on my indy sites.
Also, I bid $77 dollars on CMD for a featured spot and I've only made just over $30 dollars since sunday, when I'm in the fourth spot!
I have no idea what is happening but I honestly feel as if I'm beginning to lose my mind! I'm praying that a cam goddess shines down on me the rest of this week so that I don't completely lose my shit.

Each year it gets slow during the World Cup, but I've never received so much harassment or so many time wasters. Usually it's just DEAD DEAD. Like, no one talking at all.

No. It's the summer slow down. I had a really good regular who wanted to Skype with me last night. He and I have become friendly. He went on vacation last week. Last night, he said that he wanted to do a show, but was a little low on funds due to the vacation. (We wound up doing the show anyway).
But, that is what I think is going on with these guys. They are either broke from the vacation that they went on or they are saving for their vacation coming up.

I totally understand them being broke, the past 5 summers - they usually just dont log online. This summer though, they are logging on and being trolls. I had someone call me a sex slave earlier because i refused to talk to them for free on discord (they found me on the sexbook server)
In fact, July has been my top earning month every year. Albeit, AFTER the world cup ends. I wish I could take off the next 5 days until it's over but I just can't afford to.

Sorry that they attacked you. These guys can be THE rudest. But, the trolling has SO much to do with them being broke. They get mad because they can't afford us. They cannot fathom that we charge. For whatever reason, they think that sex work should be free.

It's very tough right now...looking on the bright side - the world cup finishes end of this week, along with Wimbledon. Then we only have 6 weeks left till September. :)
Just got to grind through it the best we can. I'm definitely taking some time off next Summer and not camming though. I don't think I could cope with the slowdown again...

I was allowed to make a livable wage today.. I worked a different shift.. maybe that's the trick during the summer, girls.. I was working late mornings for a few hours and then early evening for a few hours and it was good and then it started getting slow.. so today.. I was like fuck that!.. I am doing a whole shift at once.. so much more work to do 2 shifts as I put on makeup two times.. once before shower and once after shower .. and I have to put away all my stuff and get dressed 2 times.. lots of work for someone who has hypothyroid..lol.... So today I worked 1pm -7 pm and was allowed to make livable wage... So that's my suggestion .. hope it works.. just keep changing your schedule often.. make them miss you.

Im new here, but I already have a HUGE vent to make. I work for cam4 and I always have been happy there because they don't have much rules. I'm kinky and i can use clothesclamps, pee and do outside shows there, wich is a huge plus for me. I feel like i can be myself there.
But after a history of being 'forgotten' in a competition and a 'manager' calling me out because I was 'insinuating' that the other girls shouldn't get their prices (wich I DID NOT SAY AT ALL) , she got all bitchy about it and manipulative, twisting my words.
Then the final drop was: last saturday, a dutch girl showed (bye accident but still) KIDS on cam4, while she was walking in the streets. She was reported several times, not bye myself only.
Yesterday i got a message from Anna, talking about the prices for the worldcup-gifts competition. And this girl who showed kids on cam, can STILL get a DAMN BONUS ! I responded how awfull this was and how amazed I was that she not only did not get a sanction, but even gets rewarded for it.
I was basicly told to mind my own business and to not get involved with other performers.
I changed my flag to the french flag now and I don't want anything to do anymore with the dutch team. They are manipulative, scammers and liers and they have there favorite performers (favoritism). They should clean up their shit.
Another rant : a fan of mine was banned because his cat showed up for a bit on cam, but meanwhile I see lots of performers completely naked with their dogs in sight, and they do NOTHING about that. That is the favoritism talking again.
We cant date fans, but the dutch camcoach invites fans at her house. And they don't give a damn. I even got information straight from the source, that the dutch camcoach scammed another girl when they worked together on cam. She didn't get her money for working with her. This girl send all her info and proof to the former manager, Bram, but nothing happened. She was afraid of doing this before, because the dutch coach threatened her she would put all the video-footage online if she did. She now left cam4 because off this bullshit.
So much more things i could say about cam4_NL , the dutch team, (the dutch clients are really cheapasses too), but that would probably be a complete book :-)

This is why I'm rather a cammodel than having a "normal" job or how you girls say here "vanilla job". I make more money on cam than in any job with my miniscule degree. We have to look at it from the bright side: We don't have a boss breathing on our necks, make often more than a 8-10 hours a day job and we can take off days whenever we want without to ask a boss first. I traveled a lot this year instead of hiding in my parents house and I'm happier than in the past years.
But yeah, summer slowness sucks ass. I took off so many days this july and june to see friends and I love returning to the camworld with new energy after being away for a few weeks.

This is my second summer camming on Streamate, and it's a bit slow. I think they are on vacation or the kids/wife are around so they have no private time or money to spend on cam girls. However I make enough to pay the bills. If I don't go to show within 30 mins of being on, I log off and try again in an hour or two, yes its a pain in the ass, but i'm not going to sit there for free. My new goal is to save all I can when the money is good, so when the summer slow down comes, I can just enjoy some time off.

Got called a whore twice today (once by a reg who was always nice to me....i may like his money, but i kicked his out of my room regardless...) and a cunt once (literally all i did was greet him and ask how he was), and made less than minimum wage all day. Yesterday was stellar for me but today pretty much ruined the residual high from having such a good one yesterday. Mondays are almost always one of my best days, so it makes me a little scared for the rest of the week, but....you never know. Maybe itll rock but today.....it sucks.
