I need to get on. I took a long enough break but its so hard. I want to curl back up in my little ball on the couch and sleep or cry or something. I want to love this job but its so hard to.

I got on for a while earlier this morning and it was full of freeloaders galore. I turned my PM's off unless they want to tip for me to add them to my friend list so that they can PM me. I got too annoyed with all the guys wanting to PM about their fetishes, ask questions, and chat for free but not tip or buy a show. I even had a tip countdown on and was 40 away from my low goal. All they did was beg for free previews so I signed out at noon. Wth! I will try again later tonight.

Nobody seems to stay in my room for more than half second, and its been hours. I kicked a lot of person who came in just to sit, and they ignored me even after I called them out... so they had to go.
My period is getting close, and in these days i m way more sensitive, than any other days. And one thing always happens: people are the biggest assholes to me in these days. I hurt now, coz I dont see ANY reason why my room should be dead, while others doing so well.

^My room earlier today was pretty dead too. I had guys in and out and only got a couple of super short shows. Most of them wouldn't even speak to me. You're not alone love. I'm still debating whether I wanna jump on tonight or just go to bed.

Tnx for ur support. Couple of short shows. Yess, same here. I d go to bed. Actually I know I should log off, coz it hurts to stay online for this.
I also fed up with idiots who just can t communicate or act rationally. Like... the fact that they are on a cam site gives them a reason to act 100% brain dead.. for many. I want to get away.

For all the days camming rocks, you get a day like today -- available for 3 hours and $0.00. I was too busy doing admin and video work to go live but not everyday is a winning high roller day. On to the next...

MFC sucks tonight. I had a whale tipper earlier but ever since I keep getting freeloaders begging for clips, panties, feet pictures, my phone number, skype, snapchat, instagram, and the usual "show me tits and pussy bb and then I'll take you private" bullshit. I'm about ready to call it a night.

ummmm not sure what's going on with streamate. first day back on it 30mins past only 10ppl came in and went out directly with one person says hi followed by 'show your pussy'. I used to do good on streamte in 2017-18, averaging 50/hr. are those days permanently gone? Is this the new norm now??

Been on for a bit over an hour. It took 10 minutes after logging in for someone to come in and I haven't made any money yet. A few people have come in and a couple talked for maybe 30 seconds then left.

I'm not nice when I'm in a bad mood and I'm showing it off to everyone in my chat who dares to waste my time/get on my nerves/be a pathetic piece of shit.

Yea idk whats happening its not the end of the month nor the middle of the month.......I feel extremely hopeless ugly and old I saw another chick making 10000tokens doing NOTHING AT ALL even ignoring her entire chat its hella depressing. I give my all chat with the people and get ghosted. Thank god I'm getting my first plastic surgery next month......gonna make me feel prettier AND more confident! Hopefully gonna boost my career as well. I'm sick of being ugly and insecure.

I'm thinking it is the new norm. I was just peeking around the top girl on page 1 had 20 people in her room and the other ones on the top row had 8 and under. It's no wonder that with me being on the top of page 2, I just get the stragglers coming in once in awhile.
Seriously I don't know why I keep thinking it's going to get better for me. I hope it does for you. Just doesn't seem that SM is ever going to go back to the days where it was a busy site. I think most guys went off to the token sites.

The good "old" days wont come back, I actually guessed that a few months ago. That things wont just "pick up" after summer slowdown.
On J, as i see, everybody, even top models sit in free forever and wait. Nobody seems happy. There are 1000+ credit gifts it seems they go randomly (myself i received that amount out of the blue last week) but pvts not going very well.
Yesterday, I spent online 7 hours, i was sitting in front of the cam. Not to brag about, but i looked pretty af. I made nothing. It s not that i made nothing, but fucking NOBODY came to my room, or said a word to me. It was a massive deadness from the first second to the last one.
Today, I do full shift, I didnt sit for a second yet and 6 hours done. I was teasing ALL THE TIME without a stop. It was enough for low goal. Two more hours to go. People just sit and they not supportive at all. And I feel tired.
Actually I open the J window. On the left side, there is the member area. On the middle it s the chat area and on the right side u see urself. What I do is, I push the left side out of my monitor, so I dont see what members are in. I dont watch anything, only myself and the chat, coz watching nothing but in and outs and quite sitters in most of the time makes me sick.
And it also destroys my self confidence, but if i dont do a good tease, than sure i ll make nothing.
Once I finish, I fucking go and STUDY. I ll cam every day from now on (thats not much change, since i do that all the time) , but never more than 4-5 hours anymore. Except if there is a sure sign of existing traffic. And I put those hours in my studies instead. No way to give camming more space, till it gets better somehow... ll see that.

I've been online for 32 minutes and 37 seconds. I know this because I'm recording my screen as an example of how slow camming can be sometimes. Boy, has today proven to be the perfect example.
Not a penny has been made. Every time someone says "hi" they leave as soon as I answer.
Fuck. this.

One more thing comes to my mind: I really liked to work long shifts, without a break. Now If i do that... most likely it makes me feel I wanna hang myself.
I wouldnt sit in a studio in these days. Coz even if u do ur best,there are massive chunks of deadness when just simply nothing happening.
So it s a good thing now, to listen to ur intuition, and if it says "flee" than do it. And come back later for the goal when it feels allright to do so.

I just need a 17 min exclusive and I can go to bed. Like come on now!
Edit..... two hours in and I've made $5 bucks. I've snooped some of the top row girls and most are just sitting there staring in to the void or they are not even on camera and I just see an empty bed.
Soooooo fuck it. I'll try again tomorrow afternoon.

I usually don’t post here but goodness Streamate is painful for me rn. Men who come on there to see free stuff...just go on a tube site if you’re that desperate to wank.
But they must be getting off on feeling like they tricked someone?? Idk. Thank god PSO and content are an option for me cause camming is a marathon.
Giving myself 20 more minutes and I’m logging off to make content.

I think the tube sites are why those morons come to SM. We're advertised all over those things and it just makes me shake my head. Men on those sites are looking for free porn so sure....advertise us there so they can click and come beg us for free shit or just bounce around looking for women teasing in free.
A friend of mine that knows I cam once sent me a FB message saying "hey have you seen this?" he gave me a link to a tube site and at the top of it, it said "meet me" and had pics of me and other SM models. No wonder guys come in asking where we live and wanting to hook up. We're advertised as being willing to do that.
Great to see that 65 percent they take going to good use!!
Morning rant over...LOL

Hmmmm Interesting but if we consensually phrase it as such, it's soliciting... I like what they did there *scarcasm*. I was just thinking about how there should be a p*mping opt-out option :O. Like everyone else likes to know where their hard earned money goes, can we please have the receipts of where our money is going and HOW they're advertising. I know one model friend of mine was on here at one point in time - got booted cause they said she was giving her social media to clients - and I was on Pornhub and asked her did you see this? And she was plastered on an ad for Black F*uck Book! Like really... How is that shit legal, I'm sure it says somewhere in the Agreements which I've read here and there that they can use images of our likeness or whatever bs loopholes.

I'd love to see some receipts Lol....they take that big cut and we get stuck with a glitchy stream which has been going on for years and we get thrown on to sites with guys looking for free spank bank material.
I wouldn't be surprised if we're on dating sites too. Maybe I'm one of the "hot sexy singles in your area" on some of them. FML

I know I should not give a fuck, and I dont really, but on top of the 7$ I ve done so far....I m pissed. And I m also broke, so I have to stay on even tho I am pretty damn sure I wont be making shit today. Dunno about you girls, but I can ussually feel when the day is going to be shit. Maybe I am actually ”programing” my mind , but I already know when I wont be making $.Today is one of those days. Oh well, I will stay on anyway. Is not like I can afford to do anything else.

I feel this so much right now lol. This week has been kinda shit for me. I get what you mean though when you get this feeling that its just not gonna be a money day and I do believe that we can also sorta manifest that for ourselves as well. But I also think there are some days where no matter what you do, its just not gonna pay off. Sucks :/
