Camming sucks today so far. I want to work more days so I am trying out different sites to see if days are busy on there. I tried Flirt4Free which sadly always seems to have a million beggars day or not. I am not camming on there anymore since it feels like a waste of my time. I also tried KinkLive and sadly they have a zillion beggars as well and they don't know shit about fetishes on there. Sigh

Today licked ass (and not in the good way ; )
Every time my room turned in to a ghost town, I'd just do a little searching and see a 0 show going on with over 100 people in their rooms. Tomorrow I'm doing a different site so I can have a break from SM

Today I started off with my bra on for 2 h, but no. It was dead. Just basic members and premiums with 0 tokens :( Got sick of it and sat there topless instead. Clearly it worked. All of the sudden my room got crowded with some good premiums! Got some tips and now I'm very happy that i got 2 privates and 1 groupshow. Yay! Better than nothing, cuz yesterday was awfully BAD. Oh well, guess i need to start topless to get somewhere :no:

Smh so rude. I would've said "Then why are you still here? You can go somewhere else if you feel that way. No one is forcing you to stay in my boring ass room. Insert eyeroll".

I think some guys say this to try an get a rise out of us or they hope that we will prove to them that we aren't boring by getting up dancing, showing our tits, etc.

That's exactly why they do this. They have no intentions of spending money so they are trying to make you feel bad. Nasty way of getting what they want. If you're a new model those types jump into your room to play manipulation tactics.

Had terrible nightmares all night, woke up and received a package so felt a little bit better, went downstairs to find a letter that says I may have messed up something regarding VAT crap and I'm gonna get fined.

I'm so fucking pissed off because apparently I needed to submit a document that I have NEVER EVEN HEARD OF. Nowhere was it mentioned on my forms, I even took a mandatory class about VAT laws and taxes and all that shit and I have never in my life heard of that fucking form!! And I have no idea how high the fine is gonna be, it can be anything from 50 to 5000 euro...

I feel like I need to punch something, cry and scream at the same time.

Guys who used to pledge in minimum now say "Are you doing $0 gold show soon" WTF!!!

"Sound?" "Got sound?" Why do you need sound in free chat? I say, "Private only" and they leave.
"What are you wearing?" Exactly what you see on your screen.
Just had someone ask me, "You on floor?" WHO GIVES A DAMN if I am on the floor!!
"How old r u" Read the profile.. its in the motherfricking profile.

I picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue...

Amazon - please hurry the fuck up! My vibe died last week. Until now, I had no idea how much I liked my vibrator. On Friday, I ordered a new one, along with several other toys I'd been eyeing. They STILL haven't shipped. What are they doing? Trying to figure out the most aerodynamic way to gift wrap a butt plug? (Not that I requested gift wrapping.) I should be obsessively refreshing a FedEx page right about now. WTF!!!!
End of vent.

My video freezing up on MFC during a true private session. :banghead: It was one of those rare moments when I actually got a true private show on there (it's not easy finding a guy on MFC who's willing to pay 80 tokens/minute for true private), and of course a minute and a half into it my video froze up. I hadn't even whipped out my toy yet, so the farthest I'd gotten was to nakedness, so I just sent the guy some sexy pics and vids later.

MFC was fucked last night, and I know it wasn't just me because other models had tweeted about it, and members told me it was like that in other rooms. My video froze up several times, so I had to keep exiting and reentering. I was amazed that I was still able to make goal.

I hate it when the low setting on vibrators stop working, and then I have no choice but to push it up to the high setting, which is too loud! I gotta hold the damn button a certain way to get it to the vibration setting I want (I don't want it on the highest/loudest setting though). Like how people with messed up phone chargers would have to hold the cord in a certain way to get the phone to charge (I know I used this analogy in another thread on here...lol).

I have the purple Doc Johnson Pocket Rocket Plus vibrator, and I gotta go through this every time I wanna watch porn/play.

THIS. MFC was such a bust for me last night, was constantly rebooting my internet connection because I thought it was a problem on my end. Traffic was also garbage. I made 10 tokens in 2 hours before noping the fuck out.

The guys on SM are just horrible today. Bitching when I tell them they need to tip me to turn around.. "But I already tipped you $1!" NO. Just NO. "You don't have enough pics in your profile". I mean really? Why should that really be a thing? I do have pics up, not a ton, no, but honestly, if you're in a cam show with me, why would you be focusing on my pics? Oh, maybe because you're trying to whack off for free? Could that be why?

I'm just sick of them. I shit you not, I want to tackle other sites, because SM is fucking annoying lately.

So slow today! Had a room full of premiums on MFC, no one was talking or tipping! What the fuck? Also, a customer bought a video (my first video btw) and it won't work for him. I made it with Windows movie maker and added a credit banner. It plays fine for me, but when I go to save it to my computer as a video file, the video goes away and only my credit is rolling. so I'm trying to make it work.

And I HATE the idiots who have no tokens and don't tip you but ask you about your fantasies for a half hour. When you finally realize they're not going to tip and yuo ignore them, they send you question marks for 10 minutes.

JCI is always telling me that my profile is not set up to offer webcam when I've definitely had a check mark in the webcam box on my profile. *sigh* It's always unchecking the box, so I always have to keep logging in to check it again. Pain in the ass...

And I hate it when it makes me type in all that JCI info all over again, because I can never remember that the account ID is 223742.

Yeah I'm not sure what's been going on with my room on Streamate today AND yesterday. Tuesday was awesome.
Yesterday I was on for about 3 hours and made 1.75 which is a record low for me, has never ever happened (those days are expected though).
Earlier today I got a decent Exclusive and couple Privates but that's it. I have been on for 2 hours tonight and nothing, nada, zippo!

WTF lol…seriously. I'm getting a wee bit nervous. I was looking forward to today since it's Friday and I cannot remember the last time I worked on a Friday…figured it would be decently busy but I was way wrong lol. Hopefully my patience pays off and it picks up at some point.

Hope everyone's night goes well….

I agree! SM has been evolving in to something I don't recognize anymore and I've only been on there for 3 years. There's other sites to try out and maybe the new energy from one will make you feel better. Never hurts to try.

There's nothing wrong with you not wanting to do 0 shows. With this line of work, you need to do what you're comfortable with.

I wonder if MFC was different at the beginning or if it was always the public stuff....hmmmmm...

JaneBurgess
02-21-2014, 11:26 PM
That's how I felt. I just don't like what it has become so I found a different site to cam on and I am loving it there. I was on Streamate for six years, so I saw it change from no nudity in free chat to fuck yourself in free chat. Ugh

I think MFC was always full nudity in free chat.

Finally broke down and cried when level 4 regular (LEVEL 4!!!) said: "when are you gonna start "$0" gold shows?" Like really! So f*** it! I just put my huddy on, will put cam right in to my cush and run $1/ 1min gold shows just like BB girls do... Im over it! SUCKS!!! SM SUCKS bad now! F**** $0 gold shows!!!

These last few days have been horrible for me on SM, and from what I've been reading I'm far from alone. Besides making an embarrassingly small amount of money this week I just received my first bad rating from some jerk who wanted to chat for an hour plus and when I finally put my foot down and said he needed to go 'in show' because it wasn't fair to demand all my attention and not even tip. So he finally bought a show. After a minute or so ($1.66 my cut) he ended the show and blipped out of chat . He messaged me a few minutes later and explained that I was like all the other money hungry girls on the site and to be grateful he didn't give me a 1. He also added I need to learn to be polite. Good times on SM. :)

I am sad to see how successful performers are 'hit' by the 0$ gold shows now, i feel the pain, it felt the same for me & others when i was/ we were 'hit' by the introduction of Gold shows 3 years ago, all the traffic went to GS rooms & the performers not doing them were left with empty rooms. Not nice, not good, makes u feel helpless.

I hope some of you now understands what it feels like to be in a situation where u dont want to do a certain thing (0$ GS) but dont know what else to do to earn the money u need. I am sure the ones having success with the zero GS now dont feel this pain but joy, sooner or later this joy will turn into pain cause Sm will get worse once it started with this path.
God help us!

^ Well said. I wish I could have experienced SM before gold shows were introduced. I still did OK on there for a while but it's hard to compete with girls offering shows for like $0.30/min, plus pics/videos plus nudity in the countdown. It's not their fault of course, we all want to make as much money in as little time as possible--it's SM's fault for getting greedy and slowly morphing into a lame-o version of MFC. My current site was going to start allowing tips in free chat (they ultimately decided not to) and I couldn't understand why a lot of girls were pissed until recently. It seems innocent but models who've been around a while have probably seen sites go downhill and girls having to offer more for less. It's a slippery slope and as much as I complain about it I'm really glad my site is standing its ground.

Make a ban list and BAN THIS MOTHERFUCKER when he comes into your room. And for pete's sake why are you talking to a guy for free for an hour??? Just block him. He will never pay. AND look what shit he pulled when he did. I ban all the loser assholes from my room, and now I have a great room for the most part. You'll see, try it.

02-22-2014, 06:51 AM
That makes me so steamed when streamate just sent a bunch of us messages that we,ve met some bs criteria to charge more but then allows 0 gold shows. So.... you wan tus to make more$$$$ or NOT?! Free isn't making anyone $$$$. It's just allowing losers free shows. The guys that pay will pay.

I would contact support and ask them to remove that poor rating because he rated you for being "money hungry" which has nothing to do with your performance. I don't accept poor ratings when they are vindictive or out of order.
It's your room so you do what you want but I personally would not allow anyone to just sit in guest chat for so long! Don't be hesitant to kick and ban.

I'm feeling a bit of an effect from those shows also. My regs still come by but I can tell when a zero show is going on because my room just empty's. I really think the novelty of these shows will die pretty quick but the damage will be done. It's only a handful of guys putting in large amounts, that even make it happen (reminds me of MFC) the other 200 contribute nothing. Well, maybe a few put in a dollar.

These shows aren't even that lucrative. Sometimes goals aren't hit and when they are, the goals aren't even that high. Seems more like the normal goals they were trying to hit when they would charge something.
