View Full Version : STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues

After weeks of almost nothing - very short pvts, I finally had an excusive tonight. With c2c and no tech issues. Guy left cause he was finished. YAY!
For the last week guys left when I thought they would go excl. IDK if my excl was broken or if everybody thought 6 was too much.
EDIT: it's been like 5 minutes and the no show excl are back. Maybe it's my hustle after all... it was so easy on the old KL. Guys either spent or fucked off. Didin't pretedn to be interested in buying.
I think the guys who say they're about to go exclusive and then don't just fuck off in 90% of the cases, unfortunately. I had the same experience on AW a lot and I've generally found that site to be VERY stable compared to SM - "all right, let's go then!" "ok!" *logs off* Always an annoying experience. I don't personally think 6 is too much, I'm at 5.49 for exclusive myself... I want to groom regulars into not expecting anything for less, haha. Some people even decide to go into premium chat, even though I dislike premium and set it to 6.99 a minute for that reason, which I would consider quite pricey.
You women are so supportive, this was such a nice thread to catch up on in the morning. I know I'm not the only one who feels like this, but as it's been said, don't lose hope! If you've managed to do this before it's not like you've suddenly lost all your skills or appeal. Just tough to hustle an empty room is all. Anyway, slumps come and go - this wasn't my WORST EVER week on streamate, just a really bad one. I imagine it'll pick up, but this would probably be a good time to start making some clips or something. Don't think of it as something that reflects badly on yourselves!
I used to be really worried about Streamate basically crashing and burning since all I do is one-to-one fetish/domination type shows and the token sites REALLY aren't suited for that. The thing is, though, there's a huge audience for that kind of show, so even if SM itself happened to die (which I don't think it will), I'm sure another site would appear to cater to that type of client.

"You is smart. You is kind. You is important." That's from The Help, the only part I liked BTW. But ya'll are making me smile so hard after reading these comments. And then that scene popped into my mind. Love it

So proud of myself for getting up and online early today! Traffic was insane last Monday and it's incredibly mellow today for me. Going to have a margarita and salsa my way back online tonight. SM you will be good to me today...I know it!;-)

I thought maybe it was the Veteran's Day Holiday. (The high volume of ins and outs, I mean.).
Idk, but I feel better just to blame it on that...like tell myself it's just a bunch of lookey loos who have the day off, and are just web surfing.

This is true. Last Monday and Tuesday was the last high volume day for me as well.
Lots of smartass losers out there trolling. One guy told me "you work long hours"
Hmm. Well, I have to do what I have to do because all you freakos do is park yourselves in my room and state.
Ban hammer activated.
I'm going to be doing what I need to and I don't need ANY negativity or smart remarks from the peanut gallery of cheap guys.

I dunno but I think something is seriously wrong with SM.. I quit making money on there and that's my main site.. making more money on another site.. I am having days with like $3 or 5 or 8 bucks for the day!.. wtf? And of course I used to do pretty well.. now I am taking home like $200 to $300 paychecks lately..

Hi everyone. I used to cam but quit in 2009 when I started dancing. Now I just signed up for streamate to make some extra money when I don't feel like going into the club.
I just got approved, and I was just testing it out last night (waiting for my period to end before I can work), and when I checked my feed it would show a very bad quality feed and then it would say I was in private even though I wasn't. Is this probably the site? Or could it be because my laptop is like 4 years old? My internet connection should be ok- the upload speed is usually around 6 MBPS. I wanted to try out camming with my current laptop, and then decide if it's something I want to continue. Then I'll invest in a better laptop.
Also, I'm not sure how to connect my Logitech cam. It automatically connects to my built in cam. Although honestly I feel like I look better on the built in cam. Maybe I need to work on lighting. The Logitech makes me look all washed out.
Sorry if these are dumb questions. I'm not very tech savvy and trying to figure this out on my own. And if I should ask somewhere else let me know. Thanks :)

I need to stick it out too, if only because I have nothing better to do than WORK and I'm only 43 cents from cutoff, it just feels ridiculous I can't make at least that and leave it be til tomorrow. Of course my daily goal is completely unattainable now, I have to leave in 50 minutes, but one would hope for at least 43 cents. :'(

Streamate has been slow for me over the past couple of weeks (it's never been THAT busy) but this is actually ridiculous. I don't think I've seen my room this dead since back when I first started camming with 0.4 mbps upload speed. A couple of weeks ago I was considering dropping my vanilla job, and now... well. I'll have to think of something else. Really frustrating because before it seemed to be getting better and better for me. I've been on for about three and a half hours and made like... $7, whereas before I made around $80-120 a night. Surely this must be hurting them too?

I had to deal with this one guy who kept hammering on seeing my face, I freaking lost it with him and said, "Stop fucking asking!" Seriously? If I don't want to show myself, or choose to fart on the left instead of the right, why should I drop my shit for you if your not paying for my services? I am not your goat! I am doubling my meditation and keeping logs..I also do my best to keep in mind that this is just part of the job. Why sit in a chatroom hounding 1 cam girl out of 1836 other different Models. Just move on... To add to my day, I found out I threw away my favorite dildo.. :weeping: (Guess that is what sent me over the edge) Please tell me these assholes are typical?

I should have known about that fallout shit. The type of guys that come to webcam girls are generally the types that play games and watch sports. So the sports is messing it up too.. Sports, games, site issues... This is crazy. And we all know how horrible it is to sit there on cam with no one coming in and maybe a couple guys just sitting there not talking. Pain in the ass..

Why are there so many guys looking for a hookup lately? SM is not a dating site... seems to have gotten worst lately

Ever think about visiting Jersey?
Damn you fine ever meet anyone from on here?
You from the South? Me too! Anywhere near Miss?
You like four wheelin? I can take you out on mine
Hey I have a band, you should come hear us play sometime
And this is all in the first two mins. IF they bother to speak at all. They really think we're on cam to be swept away? And why the hell would I meet someone who can't even tip me $5?

So it's not my imagination the same small group of guys are the main and only wanderers of SM lately? I thought I was a conspiracy theorist. Damn! Jk. I banned all 6 of them.
And The amount of disappointment I feel in my room when guys openly type "do you escort? I will pay a lot" and I say "no this is not an escort lounge"

Had a regular too who got disconnected in the middle of excl,luckily he came back to finish the session - the screen turned black on him and it had the text that the "service was unavailable"
It only happened one time though *knocks on wood*

This has happened to me fairly regularly for the past several months. Just stay on and it'll right itself. Logging off and on again doesn't help. I have no idea why it does this.
I cant believe how dead SM is this week, wow, just wow :(
