It never happened to me, that my room was dead all night long. On a weekend night. I do cam ... 10 yrs ago.
If i sit, my room is dead. If i move, it s dead. Only in and outs, or maybe quite stalkers who would rather die, than say a word to me. But even those ones seems to leave when i start to tease. What is this?

So I went and told to customer support, that something is wrong with my room. They said: a big amount of new girl arrived in this month, and they are all 1.99, that s why my room is probably empty, coz customers watching them.
I asked if they are from Studio? Yess they are.

If I could have one wish: I wish it would be impossible for a third person to profit from our work. Seriously. I wish they would stop. Studio owners are rich already. Stop bringing endless amount of new and cheap girl in every month, just fucking stop it finally.

No wonder, u have to work 10 times harder for the same or less money, than before. So what do i do? put my rate back to 1.99 lmao, and gonna be online 15 hours a day, just to be able to keep up with them. I almost said, it s like when i started camming. But no, it s worse than that.

I agree with yall about how dam slow it's been lately ugh. I just started back on SM this week & I've literally made $100 all fuckin week :( And thats with putting in at least 6 hrs a day on there before my eyes hurt. I am def upping my rates bc when I do get shows they're not long enough to really be worth it. I'm also gonna try the whole tshirt & socks/fishnetes route with minimal makeup later LOL fuck these guys expecting the world from us.

This week has been one hell of a struggle. I literally felt myself slipping into a depression. I've been so good: eating right, drinking enough water, meditating, listening to positive affirmations at night, and showing up for all my 6 hr shifts with a smile...

Girl, you are not alone. This week has just been bad. Try to keep your chin up. It can't last forever. I'm sending you good vibes. You can do this. Keep the faith.

I have to say Friday has been the worst grossing day of my pajama top experiment but I think I made more than if I was wearing my usual attire.. I have to have to even hardly get naked. My last pvt was actualy on CB with a regular 23 yr old.. I spent the entire time being Coi and pouting about not wanting to be naked.. he pretty much paid me to do that. About $60 worth.. get your pajama tops on I say!.. go on strike... but it still was a shitty day.. if more girls would go on strike on cam because pay is so bad I feel like the guys would spend more money overall.

^^^ Agree with not being worth to glam myself or spend on things anymore, years ago i was doing great selling foot fetish shows, i had (still have) the best nylons on market (fully fashioned stockings, very expensive), high heels, expensive lingerie and what not, now i rarely get a fetish guy to visit me, i mostly do vanilla shows and get tipped for my vibe toy, all my fetish attire get full of dust cause nobody asks for it anymore tho i wear make up cause i have to (not looking good nude face or even just lipstick) and wear the same gowns on cam as i dont feel comfy otherwise.

By the way, my bio and profile description are the same so what gives?!
Clientele just changed, its that simple but sad :(

I am with you babes regarding income this week, it's just terrible :computer: and 'i felt' we'll have a contest considering how dead it is.
Not looking forward to this new whole week contest, i dont like how dead it is for me during contests but it's dead anyway sad lol so... whatever :shrug:

This would explain so so much. I've seen a ton of new studio girls, most breaking the rules and being naked doing themselves in free chat and all of them placed in front of me. Which also explains why I've gone from page 4 to page 7 because for some reason these new tos breaking studio girls get priority over me.

SM doesn’t care anymore which sucks. I’ve reported the same model twice. She sits in free chat laying back on a bed with her legs spread exposing everything. They don’t do anything.

I cant even find you. And you know why..... holy shit, a SHIT TON OF NEW GIRLS just started tonight.

China and a few other countries. Like a shit ton and they have pushed so many girls that I'm used to seeing on page 1/2.... over to page 4/5.... I'm blown away........

SM is now all foreign girls.... the US has been pushed out completely with the exception of a handful of row 1/2 US top earners.....

I'm not putting down the veteran foreign girls. We love you. But its the overflow of all new foreign countries that literally just got started tonight.....

Last night I received reports and private messages about some of the toxicity being posted in this thread. And yes I'm aware it's a vent thread but once again it's gotten out of hand and I'm getting tired of having to moderate this thread so often. I appreciate all the people who help me out and I don't want you to feel as if you shouldn't submit reports or PM's if something is off. Last night I got alot of those and with permission I'm going to share one of them:


Honestly, can we stop with this xenophobia? All I see are girls complaining about foreign models, as we would be some sort of black plague, stealing their bread and butter. I'm so sick of this attitude. We work, we have families to provide for, we stick to rules, no website has to be 100% American. But that's what some people are implying.

As someone who isn't originally from the US but has gone on to become an American citizen, I was so ashamed when I got this message. I can relate to what they were saying, but OOF! It was a huge pill to swallow. I was also offended after reading some of these post. I understand that many of you are extremely frustrated right now. But please don't use this board to drag people into your struggle just so you can stroke your own ego. This is an International board and you should treat membership as a privilege. We should all be honored to be able to interact with performers from all over the world and appreciate their various levels of expertise.

I will reopen this thread later in the day. But if I have to come back to this thread for any more of this mean girl bs, I will start permanently banning folks and then shut it down completely. I hope you all understand where I'm coming from. Now I want you to have a wonderful day and please be kind.

I honestly think placement is random and changes every few minutes. I'm ok with that though. Change isn't always bad. I do think the money making season is slowly underway though. Maybe the summer slowness is extended a few extra weeks this year. When it sucks i tell myself "today a young horny lad just turned 21 and is going to find me and spend" . keep trucking along and eventually it'll be money season again!

I asked Liz at one point about how placement worked because mine didn't seem right and she said when a member is logged in, often placement is determined by the type of models that he sees (as in goes in their free chat) so for one guy you might be on page 5 and for another you might be on page 2.

Kinda seems like we just can't tell where we are on member accounts.

I try not to look where I am now. If I'm not where I'd like to be I start getting frustrated and that isn't a sexy look for me when trying to bank Lol

this is definitely true, but I do also definitely notice a difference when Im page one to page two - but its definitely not worth getting stressed over. I check but mainly cause I like having a little goal of getting to x page haha

Same here. I get discouraged after 2-3 hours now although in the past I wasn't acting like this and I know many times I have made money sticking to my set schedule no matter what. But lately it became so hard to stay on when it's so quiet. I decided that starting today I will stick to my schedule no matter how dead it may be. I'm also getting back to split camming today so it should be less boring to stay on.

OMG, just finished last week and it was absolutely horrible. I fought and kept showing up, but it was so hard when day after day I was making shit smiling for 6 hrs straight. 31 hrs streamed and I made $300 less than usual. Yeah, it was incredibly hard to keep logging back on. I feel you.

Today is definitely slow, and I'm splitting on 3 sites. I know that being on different sites doesn't automatically equal money but it's just funny. Not really but still kinda.

Even though it sucks i just can't afford to fall into a shitty mood. Just referencing myself, money is never made that way. And during a week where i HAVE to produce...I'm just gonna do my hours and stay unphased.

It helps that there's always someone to talk to with so many sites up. So there's that.

Glad I didn't get on bright and early. No need for the whole day to be shit. Just grateful for the one squirt show I did which made the guy stay for 19 minutes. That one show made my whole night. I also quickly learned to put a towel over my laptop for shows like that. But for someone who was on 3 sites, low goal should have been a lot easier to make.

I couldn't do it without splitting. The pure boredom of waiting in an empty room used to kill me. When I got my killer laptop I found splitting really helps me pass the hours. At the moment it's dreadful everywhere but at least the conversation sometimes keeps me going through the worst. I also have facebook and other sites open to keep busy. Otherwise my ADHD ass would die after 1 hour of deadness. We do what we gotta do! x

At the moment it's dreadful everywhere but at least the conversation sometimes keeps me going through the worst. I also have facebook and other sites open to keep busy. Otherwise my ADHD ass would die after 1 hour of deadness. We do what we gotta do! x
I only work one streaming site due to my internet but I tend to do other stuff to while streaming, writing is a big one as I work as a writer to

I'm getting 2 regular jobs. Camming sucks. I'm not making anything right now. I look great but it doesn't seem to matter. Also, these sound issues on SM are getting out of hand.

I envy you for being able to have that option. Due to a disability, I'm not able to work out of the home unless I improve at some point. I'd love to just have a mainstream job with an hourly wage.

I've been on for an hour and a half and not one person has said hello to me. I went to another browser and logged in to my members account so I could go in my room and type something (just to make sure it wasn't a glitch) and I did see writing so people are just not bothering to say anything.

UGH. Ive been on all day and hardly anything. Then I had a guy come in and badger me with small talk and normally I don't let it get to me but he requested I change the angle of my cam and I told him "Um I will change it if it needs to be changed". Im already annoyed and then to be told what to do without a tip? I was biting my effing tongue. Then he asked me what makes me happy. Um spending time with my kid and not being stuck on here!!! (I didnt say this but I was thinking it) Then he tipped me for ass, I showed him ass and then he goes "I was hoping for a little more for 61 tokens" Motherfucker. Do you even know what 61 tokens equals to?

I had to go out to smoke and I just needed to come here to vent. Im done bitching now lol
