Holy crap, the past 2 months on SM have been god awful. I was doing better over the summer months than I am now!! Apparently guys are finally getting fed up with all the glitches and moving on ... and considering this thread is even a "thing" I think a lot of models are moving on as well. I love SM but I'm at my wits end, what are the other options as for us as far as private based sites? I can't stand token sites. LiveJasmin, cams.com, Flirt4Free, are any of these worth a damn or would I be better off just trying MFC or CB again? TT_TT RIP SM

After the last 2 weeks that I have had and almost ... almost breaking down today... I am going to start looking elsewhere ... I just can't do this and it's not going to pay my bills anymore. even being on the front page. 4th or 5th row or the 2nd, 3rd or 4th PERSON in my category... and no one in my room.. I am about done ...
You def aren't alone in feeling this way. I'm right there will you.

I don't think trying to find another main site is the best option. I think splitting if you can is the best option. Put more eggs in your basket.

Dammit((. So it's ok for a kiddie party, but not ok for an adult site =/. They should have at least put it into the contest terms I think. Do you by any chance know if "blood stained" clothes are okay?

I've reported multiple guys asking me to do taboo and Customer Support has flat out told me "Well, taboo can mean different things to different people so thanks for your concern but we cant do anything about that."

deny deny deny. when a username is "daddywantsalittleslut" and asks for taboo, what do YOU think he's hinting at?

Enough. I think it's so obvious:

-It's time to look for new eggs
-Streamate Customer Support are 50% bots 50% interns
-They destroyed their own private platform by bringing in bottom tier traffic and contests that create a sense of desperation for not only the models but the customers as well.
-35% isn't enough to bang yourself in free chat.
-SM at this point are abusive pimps. They clearly don't support their models, care about their environment, uphold their own TOS, but want you to WORK WORK WORK WORK WORK. Long and hard baby. Work those long hours troubleshooting your own tech problems which are probably not even on the model's end.

So where do you suggest we go? I've tried other sites. They're just as bad or worse. I just got terminated from MGF as well for something I didnt even do. I am at my wits end with all this and I dont know what to do. I dont want to go back to being an escort, but I will if I have to. I had 2 great days on SM on monday and tuesday. Wed and thurs was a complete bust (contest didnt help). I'm going on now again only because I have to. I have no other choice. I've tried cams.com recently and its worse than SM for me. I cant pay my bills. I know so many other girls are in this situation as well. It's starting to really make me depressed

Well I already have indie eggs in my basket and am def trying to be better about keeping my clip stores updated, so I do agree with you on having more eggs than just SM. But there's plenty of other sites out there that actually have their shit together. SM has been going steadily downhill for a while, and it seems to only be getting worse. I don't have the attention span to splitcam but I would def be down to do a couple shifts a week on another site rather than be stuck here forever because I don't foresee it getting any better anytime soon ...

Hi everyone . So I'm normally on the first 4 rows but the past week, I've been pushed to the bottom of the first page..At first my video was pixelating but I'm on a brand new computer and that issue is fixed. Now it's only the placement issue. I also have a brand new 920 and a billion other cams that I've tried. I'm hard wired all the time with a 200 down/15 upload internet. I feel like I've tried everything at this point with no luck :( :( Any ideas?

What modem are you using?
What is your bitrate at?
Do you have any other tech issues?

If not this may be beyond your control. Have you checked your ranking sections to see if it is all good? One time that section was saying a lot fo us did not have audio, even though we clearly did, and it screwed with our placement for a week.

I've been hearing placement is weird for several girls. I'm usually in the middle of page one but I'll disappear off page 1 and get pushed back to page 7+ which is not normal so someone is playing a game of chess with us or it's some mysterious phenomenon..

The code of conduct says defecation and urination are prohibited but then I see someone on the front page offering dirty anal and dirty ATM?.. So showing poop is ok as far as you are scooping it out of your ass rather than pushing?
Why not allow period play, then?

My placement was pretty fucked this evening. I'm usually in the top 2 rows, sometimes third if I don't log in for a while, but tonight sometimes after finishing a show I couldn't even find myself on the first page (and couldn't be bothered to find what page I was on). I thought it was just me though. I still made good money in spite of never having very many guys in my room at a time, so I guess it was just a rare quality-over-quantity night for me. I hope it doesn't continue like that though because I seriously feel like I lucked out this time and next time my placement is wonky, I'll probably be struggling to make money.

I haven't been in the forum for the longest time but this week has been so bad for me (hours on not a penny, an hour without nobody talking). And I was going nuts thinking well maybe it's me... It's been my worst week since I started around 2 years ago. I have pretty much no traffic. Fortunately I got a vanilla job for a week or 2 but damn this is killing me! So thank you ladies for sharing and not making me feel so shitty! I did lower my rate by 1 dollar to see what happens *sigh*

Just send them another email titled: Screenshot of abusive member

In the message: enclosed find a screenshot of ____ insisting that I do drugs in exc chat. When I declined he left me a 1 star rating. Please close his account and remove the 1 star rating from my account. Thank you.

If you don't tell them theres an attachment, sometimes they wont even open it or notice it. So be sure to state what youve enclosed, what you want, and how they can solve the issue for you.

I'm super big on reporting abusive users and getting their accounts shut DOWN. it's not just about the removal of ratings

Thanks CamLove
I agree its not about the rating, I am not one that does anything illegal or against the rules. I feel these guys are getting a lot more girls doing this stuff, and for the girls like ourselves that do not do this, they probably feel they can rate 1 star and try to get another model to do so. I have reported members in the past even in my free chat. Just a first in paid chat, I normally explain and the guys are reasonable but some just do NOT care.

Thanks again!

Streamate is a special kind of hustle at the moment. It's not you, it's what the site has become. Competition is really high & they are losing customers daily because of not fixing glitches. I mean, if you're fapping and you lose connection before you get off, would you come back? I certainly wouldn't. lol. Speaking of, I'm headed on there tonight. Heh.

SM is not the site it once was. I logged on for 2 hours today, but because I took 2 weeks off I was busy. Then went dead, if your new to SM its not unusual. However, I see the traffic not so different on there sites. Hang in there, and get used to its, unfortunately part of the gig. Put your eggs in LOTS of baskets too

UMMMMM, hello, where is all the paid traffic today?! I'm just gonna put it down to the end of the month, everyones waiting for paychecks. I never normally have an issue with no paid traffic but today it's realllllly slow for me. And I took yesterday off, so I was hoping to make it up today, but nooooooo. UGHGHGHGHhhhhhhhhhhh. I think it might be time to try a new site? 2hrs SM, 2hrs new site. Unsure which one to go for, I like a lot of traffic hmhmhmmmm.

Edit - Just saw my RTT was 441....might be the reason. Sigh. Nothings different though, nothing else is using my wifi, merr.

By the numbers, I had these issues on streamate in the 20 minutes I manage to stay online today:
2 broadcaster freezes in free chat (either audio or video)
6 different attempts made to take me exclusive
(resulting in)
1 guy getting a show
4 guys getting booted and completely freezing my sm chat page/room the second I accept a private
1 guy who somehow managed to watch me for about a minute before the stream completely froze but could hear my voice.

I'm livid. This is normally one of my better shifts & I can't even do a full show 5/6 of the time.

Not to be annoying as fuck but I've been on today and have had none of these issues, I've also been on SM for at least a couple years and my broadcaster has never frozen nor has my room ever frozen, these sound more like computer issues. If it is actually your computer that's honestly better because then you can fix it, whereas if the issue isn't on your end you're completely helpless. One thing girls should be checking is your memory % which you can see by hitting ctrl+alt+delete, if your percentage goes up too high, which I think can happen by leaving your laptop on for really long stretches, it will make everything work wonky. You can fix it by restarting your laptop.

I completely drain my laptop once a year if I need to. This year I actually stored things online, usually Take deep breath and hit delete bc I do not have patience.
I leave my task manager open when I have issues and can pin point what is running and if its not something Im not using I kill it right there.

Every single time I have gotten sm involved with trouble shooting, we always find something on my end. The smallest fuckery can fuck us up.

Recently I was maxing out my storage causing broadcast glitches and that prompted me to wipe it clean 100% and now everything is fine again.

I have one computer i7 qaud core that the internal fan is not enough to cool so I cant use it, my fault, not sm but I can use it with other camsites that dont require good specs to run on.

If you've been in this 4 years like I have, you will see it's both SM & end user issues. Not to be annoying either. My husband is a PC tech with 12 years experience & a computer programmer. He curates my computer often and makes sure things are running smooth. The only site I seem to ever have issues with is SM. All in all, I think I've worked almost every cam site that is popular since 2013. My computer is the new Core i7 (6th gen) overclocked 6700K with a $500 gaming card. The PC alone has cost me nearly $3,000. While it can pump out video processing like a beast, it can't seem to handle Streamate's crap. I can understand issues on older PC's that run Windows 7 or something a bit older. But to end this, lots of models have had problems with Streamate for years on these glitches. I didn't notice much difference changing hardware & better internet connection.

Same, 9 out of 10 times when I've had issues it's been on my end. I'm not saying SM never glitches, because it absolutely does, but I have been camming since 2010 and consider myself to be better with tech than the average person and I see tons of posts on here where girls are describing issues that completely sound like they're on their end. I know it's easier to blame it on SM, but easier isn't always better. Like I said it it's honestly better if the issue is on your end because then you can actually fix it.

I usually try to keep my mouth shut on this forum and just read and enjoy, laugh or just shake my head. I am not a PC Tech or a computer programmer or even pretend to know what I am talking about. One thing I never see or hear anyone talking about are those devices that are in between your wicked fast PC and SM, namely the modem/router. Are you using wireless? Not recommended by SM. If you are using a cable modem what kind? Does it support DOCSIS 3.0? Is your computer connected directly to the modem or through a router? What kind of router? How many devices are connected to your router? Then there is the number of modems connected to the cable providers node in your area. The size of the node and number of modem customers in that node can make some difference in the speeds of your modem during peak hours. The pipe is only so big and can get congested causing connection difficulties. If the computer you are using for broadcasting is not connected directly to the modem itself but through a router and you are broadcasting and your SO is 1. Streaming Netflix 2. Playing Minecraft 3. Downloading porn or other high bandwidth devices while you are broadcasting can also cause issues. Your router is in charge of dividing up the finite amount of resources coming out of the cable modem. Plus if for some reason all the other cable customers on your node are watching the debate or the Super Bowl or everyone in your building is a cam model and broadcasting at the same time could also cause problems. There is only so much bandwidth available plus being limited by the service you purchased. Also check your cables. Make sure you are using high quality cables that connect you to your modem or router. Even the short cable connecting the two could be of low or poor quality. Buy a high quality one and not the one they give away for free. All Ethernet cables are not created equally. The free ones are just that free and most are junk. This is your business ladies. Yes it is easy to blame SM for your problems but you have to think about what could happen between your camera and SM and the end user. There is no way SM would be able to provide that kind of troubleshooting. Heck the cable company doesn't provide that kind of support. SM would have to provide support in multiple languages worldwide. Just a few thoughts before you blame SM. Personally I have been on SM for 3 years or a little more I think and the only connection issues were with customers with using mobile phones. Other than that. No problems. Last thing. I am in no way saying that SM does not have issues, glitches, or problems. I am in no way making light of your difficulties or that your difficulties have no merit. I am agreeing with previous posters that it is better if the issues are on your end so you can fix them or troubleshoot them. Good luck everyone. I will go back to shutting up now.

To clarify, was just stating it's both SM & end user. I'm more annoyed at SM lately than other models because I know the glitches DO exist. One time I can recall it was indeed my ISP. Heck, I'm with Comcast so I'm sure they are throttling me as we speak. Didn't mean to boast or anything, but I hate watching this site blame the models and act like we're stupid.

The size of the node and number of modem customers in that node can make some difference in the speeds of your modem during peak hours. The pipe is only so big and can get congested causing connection difficulties. If the computer you are using for broadcasting is not connected directly to the modem itself but through a router and you are broadcasting and your SO is 1. Streaming Netflix 2. Playing Minecraft 3. Downloading porn or other high bandwidth devices while you are broadcasting can also cause issues. Your router is in charge of dividing up the finite amount of resources coming out of the cable modem. Plus if for some reason all the other cable customers on your node are watching the debate or the Super Bowl or everyone in your building is a cam model and broadcasting at the same time could also cause problems. There is only so much bandwidth available plus being limited by the service you purchased. Also check your cables. Make sure you are using high quality cables that connect you to your modem or router. Even the short cable connecting the two could be of low or poor quality. Buy a high quality one and not the one they give away for free. All Ethernet cables are not created equally. The free ones are just that free and most are junk. This is your business ladies. Yes it is easy to blame SM for your problems but you have to think about what could happen between your camera and SM and the end user. There is no way SM would be able to provide that kind of troubleshooting. Heck the cable company doesn't provide that kind of support. SM would have to provide support in multiple languages worldwide. Just a few thoughts before you blame SM. Personally I have been on SM for 3 years or a little more I think and the only connection issues were with customers with using mobile phones. Other than that. No problems. Last thing. I am in no way saying that SM does not have issues, glitches, or problems. I am in no way making light of your difficulties or that your difficulties have no merit. I am agreeing with previous posters that it is better if the issues are on your end so you can fix them or troubleshoot them. Good luck everyone. I will go back to shutting up now.

I wholeheartedly agree with this post. There are so many variables with each of us that it could be. Thank you for this. I've had a shit week on SM with tons of glitches and feeling like I'm beating a dead horse complaining but feeling like they won't fix them you know?

That's another thing, like Ginger pointed out, there can be SO many things on our end that could be causing issues. I have had multiple things cause issues; way back in the day after a SM upgrade, maybe the 720 one, I started experiencing lag for the first time but I knew it was because my i3 wasn't enough for the new requirements. I went to an i7 and it fixed it. Another time I was having issues it was because my internet speeds were randomly dropping and my internet company had to come out multiple times to fix it. Another time I was having issues was because my memory usage was up at like 98% and I had no idea. Other times it was because I didn't realize I forgot to hardwire myself.........etc.

I can understand issues on older PC's that run Windows 7 or something a bit older

Is Windows 7 not good for SM?!

Windows 7 isn't bad, no. I meant it's an older OS. I have seen somewhere throughout the months about outdated hardware & software causing bugs. I have one of my computers still on Windows 7 because it's honestly BUG FREE. lol

^^^ Thank God for that, i rarely have tech. issues/ glitches here, my i5 HP desktop pc with 8GB ram is handling SM just fine, the Broadcaster is eating approx 70% CPU with the latest version but in rest i am all good. I rarely disconnect but this could be either SM, the user or myself, mostly is SM or the user in my case, i also have a great connection.

Is difficult to figure out what the issue really is when there are problems, i had problems myself with the other internet line so i got a 2nd one, now i am good but before that it was confused of what caused my issues; my problem with SM is the lack of paying traffic in my room and now i am pissed on them cause they took my good placement & thrown me on page two but... I'LL SURVIVE!!

I forgot one thing. Your Internet provider. You need to test your download and upload speeds. Not just how fast but test the integrity and consistency of your Internet. Streaming is a continuous process. If you lose packets because your ISP is a poor provider that can cause a lot of connection issues. I like to use It does several tests and you need to do at least two tests to be able to graph it. You will be able to see how your Internet goes up and down sometimes dramatically. As a point compare SM with Skype. I do a lot of Skype shows. One on one with the customer. How many times have you become disconnected? How many times does it freeze or the customer complains you are blurry or the audio is screwed up or has an echo? What do you do? Tel the customer to hang up and get out of Skype completely and restart it. It usually clears up the problem. If not I tell them to switch to Google Chat. So if Skype one on one has glitches, connection issues, poor quality you can bet SM does as well. Totally different platforms, I know but I am trying to point out this Internet thing and streaming are not an exact science. Too many variables to pinpoint the exact problem. When it works it is great.

I didnt expect everyone to bite my head off over a tech issue.�� I came to share my experience and frustrations in the vent thread, as that's what I assumed it was for.

I have wired connections, my internet speed is 74/23, i have two different high end i7 laptops (both with 16g of ram) that are both having the same issues on streamate (so it's probably fair to say it isnt a hardware issue), new router and modem in the past couple months, do skype shows regularly and almost never have an issue (maybe once per month with 60+ shows per month), maintain my cpu's at under 35% consistently, and most importantly nothing else is having a connection issue. I also borrowed my neighbors internet and was still having issues last night, despite their completely different internet provider.

While everyone is correct in assuming it could be a multitude of issues, I think it's also safe to say I've covered my bases on the tech front as much as possible. ��

46375the class/quality of men on SM is the lowest I've ever seen it. I randomly clicked on a models room and what do I see!!!!? A model on her back with asshole open and fingers barely covering her vagina , and no it wasn't a "private glitch" . These guys that are going room to room saying "other models flash this or that before private" aren't lying because I see it all the time. This is what it's becoming which is why I don't cam on SM full time. All it's doing is making these freeloading losers feel more entitled to our bodies for free. For those of you that feel like you fail as a cam girl or are freaking out due to lack of traffic and Time in paid chat is because of those who are helping ruin the site faster. If this image attatches you can clearly see him telling her to do a specific act and he will take her private. This chick squirted for free.. so if your wondering where all the shows are, there being given out for FREE!! so, no, none of us are charging too high or should lower our standards/prices cause you can't compete with those who give away 99% for FREE. that is all.

We all need to report these models! I totally agree Christy, our clientele and traffic is crap because of this. If we all start reporting maybe, yeah just MAYBE we can get the old sm back, but I certainly won't hold my breath. Starting to look like CB

First off, in regards to the topic of the moment which is pussy and ass completely bare in free chat, I had to report FOUR models yesterday and attached screenshots of these girls closeup playing with and fucking their pussies in free chat and saying to tip gold for pussy fucking. WHAT THE FUCK! I've had so many guys come into my room and tell me to show my oussy or fuck my pussy after they've tipped ONE FUCKING GOLD. When I tell them that's not allowed they've told me other models who do it and line behold when I go to their room it's a full blown GYNO exam!
This shit is fucking ridiculous! How in the fuck is this getting by SM? How in the fuck is this ok?!? How can I charge $5.99 a minute to show and play with my pussy when these dumb bitches (and yeah, they are dumb bitches IMO) do it for $1!
Second, what's up with all the incest bullshit?!? I've had to block, screenshot and report THREE members this morning who started talking about it requesting nasty ass incest shit! One guy who wanted to know "how old I was when I saw my dad cum for the first time" WHAT THE FUCK? Like that's normal? Like everyone does nasty shit like you, ya sick prick! And another guy who was asking if I was at home... uhhhh no shit.... and then asked if there was any chance we could get caught in private. I was like sure (my husbands home, I could send a text telling him to walk in) and then he says he wants to get caught by my mom or sister.... uhhh no. And then he says, then they should join us.
JUST STOP! What the FUCK is wrong with the guys on this site?!? Aren't there special places for the mentally disturbed?
