Well it appears there is another ddos attack going on. last Fridays attack is still having echo attacks going on. What your all describe is serious lag.

The front end of Streamate is hidden from pings but will still have to process real and not real traffic. Or its just clogged up all the nodes. Apparently terabytes of data were used which made last Fridays the largest ddos in history.

LOL okay so yesterday there were over 2k girls on and I *thought* I was having some glitch issues. But it turns out that I'm just getting A FUCK TON of people coming into the "free chat" not "guest chat" so those people logging in with my chat not showing them? I just didn't scroll down enough. I almost never have anyone in "free chat". Now it's about half of the people that come into my room. Wild. Anyone else having this happen?

Ugh I'm splitting 2 diff sites & one is usually more active with tips & pvts than the other but the last week has been utter shit for me. I'm trying to put in more hrs & am changing up my schedule today which was much busier than nights have been. I'm trying sitting in diff positions & by lowering my rates by $1.00. Other than that, ppl pop in & out of my room even when I'm smiling & engaging them. I love this job but I dunno what I'm doing wrong :( Also tried changing outfits. Am I sitting too much maybe? I keep getting guys saying I'm wearing too much when all I'm wearing is a tight cardigan exposing cleavage & booty shorts lol

I have so much to pay for right now & I'm struggling to make my goals each day without getting burned out. :O

Help!

Why not just get a part time job doing something completely different? Take a break from camming for a while. Once it becomes something you don't have to do is when it may become more profitable.

Friday night, tomorrow night, will be my last night on streamate. I need to make payout for the week but someone has agreed to log in right when I do to pay it, then I can leave. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes. I'm not leaving the industry, I've been involved far too long, but I'm moving to clips and erotica.

Certainly, I could work more, and admittedly, I've been working hours earlier than my regs are used to, but that doesn't explain why, in an hour, I'll have ten total visitors in my chat room, most of them bouncing as soon as they get there. My placement isn't terrible, and I'm usually in the top four in my category. I have a 4.98 star rating because some jackass (that I've since blocked) rated me 4 stars two months ago. My computer runs quickly and smoothly; I have gigabit upload speeds.

I know the work and energy it takes to make webcam work, and it's similar to the energy it takes to make clips work. But I would so much rather spend two hours shooting and editing a clip no one buys--and therefore no one sees--than spend two hours blinking into my Logitech, startled when I hear the now unfamiliar log-in alert noise.

I've tried to stay optimistic about the traffic. I've tried to believe that SW complaints were just models letting off steam, that streamate still brought in enough traffic to cover even the models in the tenth row of the first page (at 4/row). Maybe it's still good enough for some, but I have the opportunity to redirect my professional focus, and streamate is no longer good enough for me as a performer.

Today isnt much better. Crickets at least. Its the UK Oct payday for most today and the first payday that is a month clear of the main holidays season. Hopefully tonight is going to pick up with spenders.

I doubt its the fact your split camming. I split 8-10 sites and they all been pretty quiet for the last 2 weeks. Its only because I use a UK pso line I had any real income

But at least we know there are def 2 servers and how to access them now. The load balancing seams off but I test the rtt of both and use the faster one. When the whole Internet slowed down last night the server did switch to the 216 ip from 215. But both were rtt 385 which granted they couldnt help

There are so many complaints about SM. I guess some of you ONLY work SM...

The 'how many seconds before they get charged...' is wearing me out. All you freeloaders out there, if you stay for a full minute then it's free. If you leave at 30 seconds then you get charged so why not stay a whole minute?!

I'm accessing the site from EST and currently there are 1828 models online. 3 Ukrainian, 5 From Latvia, 5 Romanians, 5 Russians, 2 from Estonia, 2 Columbians, 1 for the Philippines, 1 for slovenia, 5 Great Britain, 2 swedish, 2 for Spain, 4 Canadians, 43 Americans and a partridge in a pear tree. These numbers may have changed in the time it took me to count. But its not just American girls. Give it some time and you'll start seeing South African models fill up the front page. More than likely they're just waiting for the drunk American crowd to get online.

LOL! Hopefully! But I mean, why 43 americans? I hardly see any brazilian on there. No wonder I didn't make much on SM at all.
However...I spent sometime looking for the girls in the front page today and they are barely getting any privates so the struggle is general...
If THEY are not getting money, imagine me lol

All of those cammers are offline. And only one shows as being online for the entire month of October. The others have not logged in for some time now. Again this is why you don't see them on the front page or second page....they just don't log in.

Might be. But SM is sucking in general. I spent at least one hour today watching the girls of the front page and they are BARELY getting any private. One of them was sitting in free chat for two hours straight, and 99% of them have like 4, 5 clients in their rooms. WTF! This website is really going downhill

ive been on and off camming and sm and cb in general out of the 3.5 years ive been doing sex work ( when i havent been camming ive been full time PSOing) . i kind of regret not sticking to it and pushing thru it because things have changed a lot theres so much saturation now compared to before but at the same time i couldnt handle it because i was fighting with my inner demons and wasnt emotionally strong enuogh to deal with it and really didnt understand what it took to be successful. i started off as one of those models who thought i could make 100 a day to start off no problem just be pretty and cute and 'show up' and then be able to work up to a few 100 a day in a few hours with time . i dont know how many thought that and are still around because no one else but me as far as i know really talks about that on these boards. . i still dont think all hope is lost tho because the thing is so many models give up because its not the fast easy money the media and the cam site /studio marketing tactics shell it out to be so they give up but the ones that stick around make it . audritwo and me started out around the same time and shes never taken a super long brake like i have from sm and look where she is so thats just one example . it might take longer then it used to get to her status or any other model thats pretty much locked in the first 4 rows on page 1 but its not impossible. Just stick with it find ur hustle find ur sweet $ spot find ur sweet time slot have a nice setting behind you look presentable and ull be ok

Just amazed they are still making money. It costs them bandwidth to serve so many freeloaders as well as us.

You would think they would look to reduce how much is used by the free guys. A lower quality feed pehaps 320x rather than give anyone a 720p picture if they have a card registered or not. As the bandwidth alone must be crippling them. They could reduce cost so much by only letting card holders have the top quality image. it just baffles me how so many just sit in free chat watching never talking sucking all that money out of their profits and they dont do anything about it. Just run a even higher bandwidth sucking competition.

Just ip lock limit the non account holders say 3 min there are only so many ips a vpn has. And no card details 10min but lower the picture quality they can see.

There are loads of things they could do but dont. Its why its just a tab I rarely check these days. if they want attention there then they can tip for it to get me to look at the tab.

i know like i think they should have a system in place that if you haven't spent a certain amount of money by certain amount of time u get put on like basically a freeloader mode where the quality of the video isnt as good like maybe not stream to their computers in HD and you cant type to models anymore. so many guys just use the site as a free hangout spot. IMO thats why CB has so many problems all the time all those grays that get away with not ever spending a fucking dime and those lame ass blues who keep 1 token in their acount just to stay blue with no intention of ever spending more money on tokens and IMO models are fucking stupid for putting up with it theyre basically a wast of space as far as bandwidth load

CandiceS

Why does that imply the site is going downhill? If a girl isn't getting privates for two hours straight, maybe she just has a shitty hustle. Or she needs to experiment with a different time of day. Or a medley of other possible reasons. I've snooped around in the afternoon, watching girls in the first couple of rows who are sitting there with 10+ people in the room, but the girl isn't talking or being engaging at all, or worse, she's on her phone. Then she looks up every once in a while and is like "You guys are so boring. Does anyone want to go private?" and no one responds. Honestly, I think some girls have unrealistic expectations... They don't seem to realize or care that this is a sales job. Free chat is the sales floor. You have to be interactive, not just wait around and expect guys to buy shows.

Oh well...I've seen a lot of girls saying the same. Including top models and they do are engaged. I just don't seem to see those 10 milion visitors a day they claim to have and it's getting worse everyday apparently...
But I gotta agree with you on the second one. I see some models in the first row complaining LOTS every day...Like...I try to see from client's perspective and I don't think I would like to see that sort of show...

Sm isn't going anywhere. They are doing fine. I do agree that things are certainly a hell of a lot slower than they used to be, however competition has increased so there's less to go around. Hustle it up and you can still make SM work.
