View Full Version : The General Purpose "Camming Sucks Right Now" Thread

Completely agree! There's been a lot of times I get nostalgic on these threads about the good ol' days. I started in 2011 and between then and 2014 it was so different for me.
Same here.
Camming sucks, when you're in free chat, and a 7.1 Earthquake hits.
Last night.
Even though guys could see that I was visibly shaken, only 1 dude expressed concern.
What did I expect, really?
The aftershocks were big too. And constant.
Well, I thought.
I probably will make money if I offered shows of me being crushed to my death.
Yeah, those shows sold out.:-[
Tell me guys, how do you REALLY feel about women?
Sadly, I already know.
I was just reading about the earthquake on another forum. With living on the eastcoast I've only experienced one quake and it was only for like a split second. I couldn't imagine experiencing that. Hugs. Guys have become so shitty. There's always been shitty guys on cam but imo the majority of guys didn't always use to be shitty. I remember when you (in general) could get a private where dudes would just want to talk for like 15-30 minutes without wanting anything else.
^^Exactly. I started camming in 2010. If I started now, I would have never stuck with it.:-\
Same, if I started now or in these recent years I most likely would've quit in a heartbeat. I miss when camming use to actually be fun, it feels so grueling now. I'm glad that I multi-task because if I didn't I would've been bald from pulling my hair out due to frustration.
What was it like in 2002? Was free chat even a thing?
We had free chat but no video.. some sites had thumbnails .. very small .. it was so much better.. I would lay down and watch a movie and ignore them all til I got a pvt.
Sometimes I really wish I was born before 87 just so I could've experienced camming and stripping during the 90's to early 2000's. I would've banked and then bankrolled that money into a vanilla business, property and other investments and would've been set for life :(.
Shoot even with starting in 2007 and looking back I wish I would've made smarter decisions. I would've invested more into myself by going back to school, buying land and property and starting my own business outside of the adult industry. Sometimes it saddens me to think about how I could've paid outright for something as simple as an associate's degree or trade school. Like an AA or trade school would've been chump change but now it seems expensive. There are so many little things that I could've done back then that I could've paid for outright that would've really made a huge difference in how and where my life is now.
I didn't think about a back up plan back then because I didn't have any other interests plus I was just riding the wave and thought that camming was always going to be that good. Now that I've finally figured out what else I want to do and actually came up with a back up plan I don't have the money or make enough money to do it. Now I pretty much have to start from scratch. In a way I kind of feel like I'm right back to where I was before I started camming.
If only I knew what I know now back them, smh. Its not the end of the word though because camming isn't the only way to make money, it just sucks to think back and to have restructure.

LOL... You bringing back memories for me also... I used to love IMLIVE I was one of the top 10 girls on there in 2003.. even went with them to the Internext convention as one of the 3 girls they picked for it... Yea back then I was fully clothed.. pretty much the first 10 yrs or so most of my privates were just talking.. and now that I am older and fatter I just get men who just want me to get naked right away for fucking peanuts, it's so fucking frustrated.. because we started so long ago we aren't used to it and spoiled.. often if guys told me to get naked I ended the chat and said fuck him!..lol .. Now it's get naked now.. and I am not here fucking give you hospitality as some 25 yr old said to me yesterday in free chat.. I kicked that fucker out mofo..
Ohh pls don't ask, I am getting nostalgic.
Check this out:
- free chat - NOPE! untill heck knows when...I think...2010? I dont remember. If it was, it was not mandatory anyways. There was only free text chat and I rarely was using that too.
- Happy Hour on Imlive was paid with 30 dollars guaranteed (if I remember well you could do a 1.5 hr and get 45, but I am not sure I remember well...I am old and I rather forget things that make me cry)
- quality of members : They would be chatting with me (in private chat of course) about politics, psychology, history, their cats and dogs, their marriage, my country, and everything in between for HOURS. Some would love to watch me sleep. Some would love to watch me get ready to go out meet my bf! Many were sending Victoria's Secret gift cards on my bday. Rates were lower, ok, but the % was at least 50%. I remember I was chatting on ICQ (man, Im old) with my gf saying "OMG today I had a guy that wanted me to get naked! I kicked him out right away! " Then, slowly, they started to ask for that and then for masturbation shows... but it took years, at least for me. The guys were very happy to chat with a pretty girl that could type great English, talk about pretty much anything while smiling at them, looking interested in their shit.
Not to be mean, but the doom started, when studios were open in different parts of the world and they started hiring girls that could not speak any English, so their strategy for making money was to start getting naked right away. That spoiled the members and the business in general. And then whoever had the brilliant idea to offer free chat to get more traffic, was, imho, the most idiotic person ever, because this business was going great as it was, and as all that can be bought here is the visual interaction/chatting with pretty girls/boys, giving that already for free does not leave room to much else to do, in order to make money, cause no one can just fuck themselves to no end for hours (or maybe they can)...but one can talk to no end, and tease to no end with a lot more ease.
Nothing wrong with the girls that could not speak English, but as a studio, I would have helped them learn that, first and foremost, and teach them that ripping their clothes off and doing dp from the get-go was not the wisest way of making money..
Ok I will stop before I feel even more ancient and nostalgic. Gotta make some $$ today and nostalgia is low frequency , not good for money making haha.. My only luck (not even sure it's luck, after all, could be called punishment too, cause that is what keeps me in this biz) is that I look way younger than 40 and just as good as I did in my 20's, for some weird reason and some workout. But if I will still be here when I will be looking old, begging youngsters to pay to see my pussy, someone pls kill me.

Heck yess, all that, too!
We most likely know each other, I was top 10 on Imlive for quite a few years, starting 2004 or 2005 till 2011 when I got pregnant and decided I will be a Domme only, and failed at it haha. Then I discovered Streamate and it became my main site, as it was easier to make money in the short time I had for work, being a mom.

Ugh, its frustrating that I hate penetration so much. Had a show but couldnt get more then just the head in, even with some lube. Like I'm so tight cause I dont penetrate myself, like ever and obviously I'm not turned on by these people but I feel like I'm missing out on money if I dont offer it. Just ugh!

That's exactly me, those are the mistakes that I was talking about. I am slowly fixing myself out of depression for having done all those mistakes and starting to move in a another direction, too. I know it's possible, just not easy because now it's not only myself that I need to make money for... Restructure is the word, yep. I know we can do it!

I took a lot of time off last month due to a kidney infection that nearly killed me. To say I wasn’t missed would be an understatement. I’m making money but nowhere near my high goal I was hitting daily a month ago.
I’m now on page 2-3 when I’ve been a page 1 model since my first day and I’m very angry that the site penalises certain models for being sick. Planning a re-brand and start over completely for both cam and clips because Streamate is no longer loving me.

YES!.. never missed when you step off cam.. one of the reasons I worked 7 days a week for the first 14 yrs on cam.. and the last 2 1/2 years I cut back to 4 days on cam but didn't really work out at all so back to 7 days a week again.

I was born in '92, so by the time I was old enough to dance or cam, the industry had already gone to shit. I appreciate the opportunities that I've had, but it is so much harder to deal with these guys. I started dancing in 2011 and I wish that I could go back to that time.
SM was trash today. Not even minimum wage for 3 hours of streaming. Yesterday, I had back to back shows for 2 hours. Most of my shows were exclusives! WTF with today!?

The look of disgust on a guys face when he finds out im trans in the middle of a show is gut wrenching. Be glad you dont hafta deal with that shit. Granted, he's dumb as shit, but still....I dropped my confidence somewhere in the scuffle and am gonna have to try hard to pick it back up. How can one job make you feel so sexy and beautiful and desirable one minute and the next make you feel like a monster?
This is so completely unacceptable, especially given their whopping pimp cut of a percentage take. Sorry if this is redundant or you already did so but have you contacted SM about this? Not trying to suggest that regular support would be even remotely helpful but maybe if you got in touch with Liz directly (I think her email is either
[email protected] or
[email protected]). She could maybe help or at least fast track it to whoever deals with the algorithm. If you have twitter you could also DM them on the @StreamateModels handle, I think Vanessa runs that. I'm sorry you're having to deal with that, sounds so incredibly soul crushing. Hang in there <3

What sucks even more is knowing that it didn't always use to be like this. If I would've started camming in these recent years like 2015-2019 I would've thought that camming is inconsistent and a rollercoaster. But because I started in 2007 and grew my earnings over the years to a consistent earning/income it sucks even more to experience these up and downs because they weren't the norm. I never had to worry about or ask myself am I going to be able to pay all my bills, how am I going to pay bills, which bills are the most important to pay because I'm not making enough to pay all of them, should I get a vanilla job, should I change careers, etc until 2015 to now.
Same here, I started in 2009, in those days I never had any minute of silent, guys chatted as hell and then suddenly took pvts or tip, they doesn't care of my not perfect English, they just wanted to talk, they loved to spoil models.
If I could even imagine in what it all will returns I've never start camming then, in all that silent chat, in guys who pop in and out without any hi, yes they jumping in search for free tits, but maybe it couldn't happens if they had to pay for it and no hope to see it for free?
As most of customers stopped look at me as on a human and now I'm a sex bot which aren't worth for greetings.
I remember how my old customers changed their attitude about 3 years ago, they start talk in abusive maner that I'm just a camgirl, people will never stop judge me, my kids will disrespect me because of that work, but nope, no kids will be because no one will date a camgirl,its a shame for a man,cammodels just a wicked witches.
Years ago it were sweet guys around 54-60 years old, spoiled me and other girls like a princess, don't know what happened to them, but I see them sometimes on mfc in room of model who calls all other model worthless
[email protected] pardon for so rude word, but I see that my ex regulars are totally agree with this poison opinion.
I'm thinking about backup plan and vanilla job too, even on min wage you have not to worry about several hours without earning, or how to pay your bills.
Vanilla customers don't ask you to show tits or ass for tips, customers not try to shame for showing pussy to all word as they think and they have to give a tip wor a waitress anyway, and not ask to cum for 10 cents as on mfc and chaturbate in glass and drink it, sometimes I think why orgasms so much fall in price just only a few golds or tokens? Were times when I had a long shows where guys tried to satisfy me and make me cum, is it I changed that guys won't put their effort and time in my pleasure and start think only about themselves when they cum in 2 minutes and leave with tip of several gold for vibe toy for I can cum fast or without tips honored me with his sperm on cam, which just disgusting.
Even when I have a good shift on cam I have to invest in new outfits or lingerie so not much saving for black days because most of my customers already asking do I have something new and if no just leave. It sucks because on my huge breast size in my area exists only expensive brands as Ava or Gorsenia or Kris Line with cost about 40$or more, and some on them guys don't like at all so I can't wear them if I want get a pvts from them. Even when I sit in dress which they saw my regulars will ignore me and not talk, only if new customers appear I'll get a show, but I'm not so rich now to count on my regulars I have to pay my bills and havent a good shifts for a long weeks.
Sorry for many words, I haven't in real life place where I can share what so much worries me. In old days I was swimming in guys money and love, now I'm struggling, fight with rude attitude and don't know if I earn a min wage today or now, or maybe I'll have a booming shift and will meet some top spenders today.

I had just started an Indy show when the earthquake hit. I told the guy “I’m having an Earthquake.” He said nothing, maybe confused. “Really, this is big.” I hung up and waited for it to end. Then I messaged him that I was sorry I just needed a moment to regain composure. I restarted the call after that and he didn’t even ask if I was ok or what happened. Just “Stick 2 fingers in yourself and fuck yourself hard!”
Yep. That about sums it up.
I was in camming shows during 2 other big earthquakes a while back.
Same thing. The guys don't care.
I get it. They are paying. Who cares about anything other than their dick?
Took me a really long time to get that.
Sad and pathetic that men can't be an empathic human for a minute.
Men IRL aren't that much different, sorry to say.
But, it is what it is.
Men are nothing but wallets to me.

That reminds me of the times when the webmasters on Imlive did not know what else to do to bring members in and they were advertising me (and others) as trans girls. And people were coming in private and asking me to show them my cock. I really wished I had a cock back then, haha. I was thinking about how I can invent something and put a dildo in some skin colored panties to make it look like I have a cock hahaha .
So see, it happens the other way around too. People are never happy, we have to keep our confidence up no matter what and navigate through all the shit to get what we need.
Eh....I wouldn't really call that the other way around unless those guys made you feel like a demon for being born with a vagina. These mfs are never truly happy, that much is true, but it sounds like Dahlia is going through something else entirely. Don't really think we have much to compare this to.

Thank you ladies for the support. Its truly appreciated. Its so weird because it has happened a few times in the past, but never this....often. Like almost daily now. And its not like im ashamed of being trans, but....well, ya'll know how cruel men are under the guise of anonymity. Mostly I can feel dudes out in my open room and catch them before we go private, but that one yesterday fucked me up, bc we were mid show, he was super nice...and then it completely changed. And....it sucks that I have to be the one to feel bad when YOU came to MY room and took ME private, not vice versa. Im not out to trick anybody or be some kind of trap, Im just tryna give my fine ass to the dudes who actually WANT to pay for it.

Whatever is going on with SM's algorithm, I keep landing in the cis-girl section or am being suggested to those dudes, bc im CONSTANTLY now having to tell dudes im trans. Was just in the middle of a show and was devastated when dude didnt know i was trans and he was not happy :( Man, Sm....youre fucking with my confidence here. That shit is belittling and so fucking embarassing. This didnt happen before, maybe every once in a while, but now its like EVERY FUCKING DUDE. How can i possibly make money when SM is suggesting me to dudes who arent tryna fuck with this?
It might be a glitch with their smart placement shuffling. Did you contact support?
I hope they get it fixed for you fast.

If only I knew what I know now back them, smh. Its not the end of the word though because camming isn't the only way to make money, it just sucks to think back and to have restructure.
^^^^^^ THIS!!!
Kinda sucks tho, feels like I took 10 steps forward when I back then proudly quit my abusive job in 2016 but now that I realized that camming won't ever pay my full bills like EVER no matter what I try, it feels like I have to take these 10 steps back again.
But unlike many people here, I'm in this industry for not so long, I'm 21 actually so i cam for 3 years, this year 4. I decided that I want to start an education again since I'm burnt out from not having any proper vacations as I'm literally surviving in this industry and so I will start school next year because camming won't get me anywhere in a country as ridiculously expensive as mine.
Sexwork activity here is quite low due to the good salaries, which is understandable, I see why now. If I was living in a poorer country with bad salaries, I would've done that until marriage with a rich man. But now I realize, camming is like lottery. Many girls make it big in there, but also many stay on the bottom. Like me. I tried EVERYTHING to make my salary bigger, but I'm simply not cut out for this job, especially in regards of long term. I'm glad I realized this as long as I'm still this young. Like some people here said it kinda saves me from being stuck in a job I have no future in and that keeps going down the rabbit hole. Because now as I'm still young I can start a new education and go back into a "real" job, as much as I hate it being under command of a boss who makes 3 times the salary I do, at least I will be paid better.
But it's not all negative. This job taught me things no normal job is ever capable to teach me. Like that most men aren't trusted lol
Oh and the extra layers of thick skin I got, the self esteem that has been stolen from me by my bullies back then at school has been returned to me in those 3 years and the fact that I have some business knowledge now makes me feel powerful. I'm definitely ready to enter the "normal world" again with my new learned abilities from camming. Oh and the fact that I know how to seduce men now is also quite convenient LOLOL
All in one, camming was not a bad decision for me. But for long term, it is not worth it. I will definitely retire from this industry when i've gotten my papers in a few years and have a fix salary again.

Terrible night on SM. Two hours and no shows. Can’t even get anyone to say “Hi.”

Mercury is retrograde until August.
I'm blaming it for having the rudest, cheapest customers on cam. Makes me feel a tad better about camming in the summer.:-\

^^I wanted to wait it out before chiming in GM, but legit: today is bad. Yesterday I banked and the men were polite. Must have been just a fluke, as today, with the exception of my first hr (now 4 hrs in) men have played serious mind fuck games and no one wants to say hello.
I wanna hold out hope, but for right now: camming really sucks LOL. UGH. The rollercoaster ride wild like fire. I've got 4 more hours to pull a rabbit from my ass. I sure hope I fuckin can hahahaaaa.

I logged the fuck off after 45 minutes today. It’s terrible. I gotta go to my vanilla job for a few hours and then I’ll cam again tonight. Fuck this shit!
Rooting for you Sha! Hope a whale makes it all worth it for you!

Girl, you know I have patience, but FUCK I'm ready to throw my goddamn laptop at the wall. I put on makeup, dressed like "come fuck me" for real, and have burned down my REAL good candles for what: 50% of high goal???
Thanks for empathizing. I appreciate it, cause I'm ready to log off for the day. I might just have to take a walk, get some wine, and have a glass LOL.
This ain't right LOL.
xoxo doll. I appreciate you.

Camming doesn't suck, Streamate sucks. $35 in 10hrs today while I earned 5x that in 1hr on Adultwork… 'nuff said.

Nope, nope, NOPE! SM members today have played some serious mind fuck games for 6 hrs. I'm compassionate, patient, & usually let shit slide...but I'm ready to stab someone. It's like a Twilight Zone episode.
Unbelievable! I have eaten right, meditated, hydrated, listened to binaural beats, & smiled. Nothing could have prepared me for this horrible day.
I'm out & will start fresh tomorrow.
Good luck ladies & may the force be with you.

Take care of you! I don’t think I am going to work again today. Sounds like it’s still deathly slow!

Are they still excluding non UK models on AdultWork or have they changed this policy?

It think they only excluded US performers, due to SESTA/FOSTA.

3 hours in to my shift and if it wasn't for 2 regulars taking me exclusive, I'd be sitting at zero dollars. I am sooo so thankful for the regulars I have. May not be as many as I'd like right now but the ones I have are fun and respectful.
Camming sucks for me today though because I'm not getting anybody new. Even last week just a handful of new guys took me pvt for a few minutes. If it wasn't for the regs, I might not have even made enough for payout.

I hear you. Regs usually save me. It's nice when they show up, but you're right if there aren't many or new customers coming back it makes it hard.
In 3.5 hrs I've done one super short show with a new customer who came by yesterday. But it's been a graveyard on SM today. I can't seem to engage any new potential customers. It's really tough this week. I had a great day Tuesday, but since it's been eerily quiet. I keep checking my stream as I think my listing is broke LOL.

^^You're not alone. I'm at 4 hr 55 min streamed and I've made $20. I'm just glad the guys aren't playing mind games today. It's slow, and yes...a graveyard, but I'm happy I don't have to deal with the BS of "yeah baby, I want a show just like that" then vanish.
Yesterday, all day, guys were fuckin with me. Today it's extremely slow, but there's no BS.
I may not make anything today, but if I don't feel like I wanna stab someone...it'll be a good day LOL.
Hang tight, IZ...it'll happen.

^^Girl, your sense of humor is the one thing I love about you. Hell, we gotta count the "wins" so hell yeah. Haha, I'm so glad I'm laughing. I've been in free chat with a smile on my face, but a "WTF!?!?" going thru my head.
Thanks for the laugh!
Smoke something nice, show off that sense of humor, then get back with me. I swear...if you're funny on cam like you are here you would have to be banking. People love a sense of humor.

Just finished my shift and only had one private after the two shows I had during my first hour on. That private was cut short when SMConnect disconnected it and he didn't come back. I made low goal today but if not for the two regs that came by earlier, I'd be logging off with 8$
I'm not religious but JESUS!! take the wheel !! Oh lawdy!! I'm just sitting here laughing cause this level of lameness with work is a joke to me right now.
Off tomorrow so here's hoping for a good Saturday.

well, i took Sha's advice and decided i was just gonna relax and be funny and interactive as I can with shitty traffic, and the 3rd guy in my room took me to a 21 minute show of just....talking. Only made $60 after that, today, all in all regardless BUT i will take that over the $19 I was at. Still sucks tho. I was gonna shoot for $300 more between now and Saturday but I dunno if thats doable unless tomorrow is stellar. We shall see.
