Streamate has been absolutely awful. It was so bad I saw this crazy woman today dancing to Bloodhound Gang's 'Fire Water Burn' while she flipped off customers. Oh wait... that was me and I am using the word "customers" very loosely.

We are Bloodhound Gang 'almost twinies'.....except I have been lipsyncing 'I Hope You Die' in my room these days.

In the afternoon is great but in the night i think much better and i always tired in the night for camming :( because i wake up soon but in the mornings never costumers,european girls how you do this?wich hours you connect? xx

I think it might be time to venture away from Streamate. It's just not fun for me there anymore. Since all of the "silent" customers overtook the site it's just extremely boring for me. I love camming and I want to have fun doing it, but SM is sucking the life right out of me. I'm either overworking myself trying to win over freeloaders or sitting around bored and waiting.

I'm thinking about putting all of my focus on another site. Maybe if I give it my all I can be more successful than SM is allowing me to be right now. I really like the vibe of Chaturbate so I think I'll give it a shot again. It's just so scary when you don't know what you should do and where you should place your focus. Wish me luck ladies <3

Camming sucks right now for me because of the 'Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction'.

I am so sick, bbs! It is freaking horrid. I have the shakes, I ache everywhere and I am so nauseous that I can't even think about eating without making it worse.

It took everything I had just to sit up in front of my cam today and do voyeur shows. Yes, I know I am so sick and should be resting but I can't take anymore time off if I don't want to end up homeless. :(

I am carrying two apartments so once the next couple of month are over then money won't be as scary tight as it is now. I know I will pull myself up by my bootstraps, I always do.....but ugh, it is going to take all I have got since to deal with today.

Thanks for listening to me whine and moan, bbs. It feels good to get it out and know I've got your support.

Thanks so much for your well-wishes and prayers, bbs. They worked!

By sheer luck I ended up finding a recipe for coconut/rice gruel* and I am feeling smashing this morning.

(*For those who are wondering, even though it sounds unappetizing but rice gruel/congee/porridge is what other cultures give their sick. It is nourishing and way easier to eat then chicken noodle soup when your body won't let you eat.)

Camming sucks today because I logged into IML and traffic is SLOWWWWER than a mofo. People bitched about my 3.80/min rate which isn't even EXPENSIVE but guys on IML like to be cheap I guess. Few privates, even after paying for the hot spots (which I ALWAYS DO BC its the only way to get good placement). Changed my rate, playing around.

It was weird because I cammed Monday morning/afternoon since the boyfriend and I usually spend time together monday night, and I had good traffic and almost made my average daily goal (lots of horny guys in the office). Time to change it up and try dayshift AND nightshift and see if that helps increase money, but for now I am going to do photoshoots/videoshoots and add that stuff to my IML page as well as some of my "eggs".

Thanks for letting me vent bbs.

I don't have anything bad to say about my sites because I love them and they make me lots of loot. However, I have something to say about a very few number of users on them. Here goes:

- Use proper English!!! Your inability to construct a complete sentence with standard English is making the whole site look bad. If you aren't very good at grammar, I totally understand, go have a friend proofread it. Please, for the love of camsites, make yourself look presentable.

- SPELL CHECK YOUR PROFILE!!! How difficult is it to spell check? I understand making errors here and there, sure, but obvious, repeated and blatant misspells are just laziness.

- Stop giving yourself away for free. No, 99 cents a minute to fist yourself in your ass is NOT doing you - or anyone else any favors.

- For prebooked shows: 1) Do not use the built-in webcam that is in your laptop. 2) Do not use your cell phone's hotspot to broadcast. 3) Do not bitch when guys complain about your quality when you break rules one or two. This does not apply to free chat because they can see your quality before spending money on you.

- Use your own photos and stop stealing mine or other girls'. *News Flash* - guys can actually tell that you aren't the girl in the pictures!! Unless you're using your laptop cam and a hotspot. Then by all means, nobody will ever know... carry on.

I really don't normally complain about other girls. I really don't care what they do because I am confident in my own services and quality. But, I do think that enough of these bad habits will bring down the overall quality and integrity of a site.

Guys who can live with fuzzy/choppy webcams and unkempt models will pay .99 a minute for it. Those girls do drive the better quality callers to me because the customers expect more and I deliver more, at a cost. It irks me that they're setting a low standard for the entire site which can potentially scare off the better callers from the site completely.

That's alright though, I'll eventually scoop up the good guys somewhere along the line because I deliver better service. I am just irritated because I think ALL girls should be of a higher caliber and NOT undercut others on price at the cost of quality.

Ok I'm done. Hope you ladies have a great day!!

Camming sucks right now because I suck right now. I have no energy whatsoever. My routine for the last week or so has been "sleep for ten hours, fuck around for a few hours, sleep for sixteen hours, check my email, sleep for another five hours, put on some makeup and either make clips or attempt to cam, stop after an hour and go to sleep for another ten hours". Repeat ad nauseam. SM sucks lately, IML's actually about what it usually is but I don't have the patience for it so it feels like it's slow. I think maybe the issue is that I recently tried SM again and actually caught a break and made decent money for a short bit, and since my rates are higher on SM the money came in so much faster. So even though the money is better in general on IML it feels so slow and makes me not want to log on.

I'm relying mostly on indie regulars and custom clips rn but maintaining relationships with these guys is EXHAUSTING. None of them are bad guys, for the most part they've actually been very good to me but it's just... exhausting. Everything's exhausting. The thought of even getting on cam right now is almost hilarious. But mostly exhausting. IDK. I just want to go back to bed.

It sucks for me because I REALLY hate the turn Streamate has taken. I have zero interest in pulling teeth to get these jerks to talk. Also I am tired of being asked if I am a hooker or looking to fuck for free in real life a hundred damn times a day. I plan to start working on a couple other sites but I am pissed that good sites always ruin themselves with greed. They didn't need to change the site, they didn't need Gold shows or a tv channel. The traffic is down 50 percent this year and a lot of the customers have said they left because they don't like the changes.

New sites feel like starting over and being a new cam performer. Sigh

I feel like I start to go insane a little bit when I'm sitting there in complete silence LOL I even had guys not say anything, come private, and still not talk in the pvt no matter what I did or said. wtf!

Camming sucks right now because the heater broke in my place and maintenance at my apartment can't begin to try fixing it until tomorrow (Monday) morning. I need to earn, but I can't even get warm enough to remove one layer of the clothing I've had to don to stay warm here in Ohio: 2 tshirts, a long sleeve thermal, a hoodie, stockings, leggings and jeans. I'm chilled to the bone & I just want to cry. I'm anemic and the cold really hits me hard... I'm usually not a complainer, but sheesh... :(

Maybe buy an electric heater if you can. Vornado brand is suppose to be energy efficient. My state isn't as cold as Ohio but I use an electric heater in the winter sometimes because it gets that cold. Plastic is also put up to the windows and rolled up throw rugs are placed in front of the front and back doors. Plastic on the windows makes a hell of a difference. There's an old thread on "how to stay warm while camming! brrr! (https://www.stripperweb.com/forum/showthread.php?164393-how-to-stay-warm-while-camming-!-brrr!)"

tasha, maybe putting your feet on or sitting on a heating pad would help, if you've got one? I have a wood stove, and I let it go out at night, so it is usually really cold in my house in the mornings, and sometimes I do that. I'm from Ohio, too, BTW.

Ok, this is absurd. I donīt want to complain, this week has been pretty good, but I donīt know what is going on today. I canīt make a single gold show and Iīm starting to be pissed off. I finally got a private after 30 minutes trying to make a gold show and then I lose the connection, wich has happened twice. I canīt decide if I should log on again, or going to bed and watch movies, since my connection today isnīt helping at all.

I didn't even feel like working today. I logged on an got instantly annoyed so I put my room in voyeur mode. I'm only talking to people who tip me, take me private, or if regulars come on. I just can't deal with freechat today...everyone popping in and out, only talking for a minute and then leaving, trying to talk guys into a pvt just for them to leave, etc. I just can't with that today. I'm sitting here listening to music chill as fuck.

Camming sucks right now because I've had tons of guys willing to pay for a show but my connection sucks. Or IML sucks. One of those, IDEK anymore. My cam keeps freezing and/or kicking me out of my room. I've spent about 3/4 of the evening playing tech support. This one guy in particular keeps coming back again and again and again (and again, like 20 times now.) Try giving a show three minutes at a time. (Only the last few times it's been a few seconds. WHAT THE FUCK.) But my connection is fine browsing the Internet, downloading things, etc so IDK what it's about.

I JUST. WANT. TO MASTURBATE. Ugh fuck anyone who thinks this job is as easy as just masturbating the Internet, I can masturbate on the Internet all damn day but the problem is GETTING THERE. Sob. And fuck whoever in my complex is taking up all the bandwidth. I SEE YOU, XBOX PLAYER, AND I AM NOT HAPPY WITH YOU.

Yes, that is in the span of 60 seconds, from 0-900+ kbps and back again. Yes, this is typical. No, that does not make for a smooth stream.

I've already vented about my weird connection enough for one lifetime but when I actually started watching that when I was trying to stream... ugh, how depressing.

I only made $10 in 2 hours because I had NO traffic! Turns out I had somehow messed up my encoder settings and my feed was screwy. Oops. d:

I so know the feeling.:-[......try to get on and tease, these are the times I use my boobs. Sometimes it works....;D

I can relate as it is getting dangerously close to that time for me too. If anything during these times I try to work on mfc so my kitty can rest and get better lol
