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

Streamate is once again my abusive partner, yesterday I had a fantastic day, could only log on for 3 hours so I was not looking forward to wasting my time but for some reason guys were throwing money around like it was going out of fashion! I ended up earning $80 an hour across all my sites, I nearly fell off my sofa.
Then today complete and utter crickets - in/out, no one talks and definitely no one spending. I'm going half hours without anyone even coming in! Had a look around the site and every other girl I checked seems just as ticked off as I am.
Why do you hurt me SM when I try to love you so?! :'(
Of course I check my stream in another tab and it's crystal clear and perfect >:(

PennyJ, forgot to quote :)) You said you used a vpn. If you still have it, use it when checking yourself as a guest and from another device. If you block guests also, then you can see yourself from your cam model link. This is one alternative.

how?!!!!111
That speaks volumes about how it is their end and they are seemingly doing not a fucking thing about it. That is sad. Very sad.
SM is just a roller coaster for me lately, i dont even want to complain anymore but really is this bad with the glitches we have and lack of (paying) traffic, its like one day i make something & feel enthusiastic then the next few days are crap and so on and on.
It's bad when u only have ONE site & this is SM and no, i dont want token sites, i dont want to sell vids/content, i dont have a valid passport to sign up with AW which i read is slow too even for british girls, all i want is this site to work so i can make money on it.
I know some models make a lot of money there, after i came back online after my medical break & started my 1st shift i was on page one row 4, dont know how i got that placement but it rocked that nite for me even i was not able to offer too much as show performance, pity i was still not feeling the greatest and had bandages over my surgery i had to hide but it's just 'another world' to be on the top rows.
The next shift i was able to cam after that 1st one my placement went to the original spot, lower on page one and things changed dramatically, this shows proof of my theory that SM has good working servers where their favorite models are assigned to when signing in, there the business is rolling and is nothing like 'down the road'; guess i got that nice spot because i was off for a good while and the system needed time to re-calculate my 'true' position.
Well, hoping for the best cause i only have this i5 desktop PC & can only work a site at a time & i want SM to work for me, i spent soo much with the surgery & am in debt now cause we took a loan here, happy & grateful to be alive & doing well, now i need the money!

Its so hard to know what to do for the best. Its gltching again today I have excellent placement and its still crap. I am sitting for hours for nothing. I am not sure at what point its time to redirect attention but i'm fast reaching it..

Thank you! But I've tried this before and it doesn't work for me. I only have a vpn on my phone, and I still can never see my placement.
I do well, but I don't know my placement at all apart from a long time ago when my custie account was working, and that was agessss ago.
So I should maybe get a vpn for my other laptop and check it that way? When I do it with a vpn on my phone I set the country to a different one than I'm in, but it never works

PennyJ, I sometimes have the same issue because for me there are 20 girls on a mobile page and when I check the second page, literally some girls from the first one are shown in the second one too, so it's continuously changing, but try several times until you see your ranking on Streamate. It is way more easier from another laptop/desktop, though. If I wanna just see my feed, how it looks and so on, I go straight on my cammodel link.
One more thing, if you do not allow guests entering your room, You can't see yourself on Streamate to check your rankings and maybe that's why. You can on your cammodel link, but that is only to check the feed. I allow non credit card users to enter.
Also, as far as I understood, but you girls correct if I'm wrong, Geoblocking restricting any location will remove you from the sort and searches for all non-logged in members, so when I have geoblock on for my country, none of the guests from any country can see me. That is my experience.

Perhaps also an incognito browser window? Not a guaranteed thing, but it works for me, haha.

PennyJ, in case you wanna check your ranking on the same pc you work without using vpn/proxy, try Tor browser. They does not affect your stream while online at all, but checking the pages of models takes a while.
You getting paying guys? ^
It was very good. The way it should be.

I`m sorry if this problem has occured before but I am feeling overwhelmed and ahhh blahh to read the whole streamate thread to try to find a solution for my problem, but every single message from my inbox is gone. Is this happened to you ladies before? I am freakin out I have no Idea what happened I contacted support but no answers yet. I m waiting for messages and the site says I have 71 messages in my inbox I click on it and there is not a single one in my inbox. :(

I can see the messages in my inbox but I had (and continue to have) an issue with my messages where someone sends an attachment but I can't see it or click on it. I think they must be redoing the message system somehow. I had an exclusive ruined last night when the guy sent me photos and I couldn't view them.

PS I always used geoblock, I am still first row model, if I can ...you can do that too. Point is; you dont need to take geoblock off and expose yourself to all to get good $
dont base your choices on fear, or anger. Take a look at the whole picture and base your decision on it. I personally think being used for advertisement or Not is a great difference (advertisement live ads, And your show being placed online on random site, where ever sm wants too, bec that is what you will opt in for.... I asked them years back if I could take geoblock off and not be used in advertisement they told me that is not a option, but maybe they changed sice than)
Thanks! that's good to know. I was concerned about the traffic limitations, the way they make it sound is as if you totally disappear and lose a bunch of traffic.
I don't do videos at all free/sale so I definitely don't want anyone putting them out there!
Love you got a Ziglar quote! I was just listening to him yesterday!

Yup, you totally can! I made the same mistake, and JUST made a new profile today (still waiting for my age to be verified, but it will be by the morning I'm sure).
Just make sure you delete your old profile before sending in verification for the new one. (:
Great! <3 I still can't make other, I need to see if I can make the rest to cash out the minimun 100$ through firstchoicepay... but I would love to hear about how it goes with your new account.

I can't stay logged on. It keeps disconnecting.
Viewer saying camera goes "Wiggy", which I think means gets really pixelated, which I can see on my side. Then goes normal.
I'm trying to attach my screen shots but they aren't uploading right now. (too frustrated to try)
I disconnected 4 times in an hour.
Speed test: dl 357.18
ul 22.76
CPU 11.01%
got i7
I have uninstalled SMB, done pc clean ups, disconnected and reconnected EVERYTHING, including my lights lol. Reverted back to older SMB version, tried the newest one again.
Switched to FMLE, newest one, looked like it was going to be a-ok, then I got disconnected "A system error occurred, please contact support of problem persists"
It also kept flickering with FMLE.
I have contacted them and they just sent me to the page about doing everything I have already done.
Contacted them again.
But now its time to pick up the kiddos from school and my small window to produce income has closed for today.
Not everyone is having issues, could I be missing something obvious?
I've been good and positive and no bad energy out to the universe so... not sure what else I can do, besides try the other site for a while ;D
I don't like being gone for long on sm, my regulars like consistency.

In 6 hours I had 16, count 'em 16 disconnects - that is ridiculous! In the end I wouldn't even risk a gold show and my day was only saved by splitcamming and a long-ass exclusive. SM is really starting to piss me off - if I use the encoder lately my placement drops down to row 5ish and traffic plummets at the same rate or if I use the broadcaster then it disconnects every half hour and it is harder to earn money but I'm on row 1-2. It makes no fucking sense!
I have to choose between kick-ass placement that I've earned through blood, sweat and tears or being able to stay connected long enough to earn any money?!

i stopped tripping on my placement last year... i mean, you can be the baddest bit*h logged in on row 2 but what good does that do if the platform your camming on is not reliable 9/10 ? my time online is now at 'poor' ... and ya know what, i couldn't be happier .. the less i cam on SM the happier i am. i doubt i'll make it to see my 4th year there and i am so ok with that. the best bit of advice i think I've ever received was to always have more than 1 egg in my basket. if sm has to become a backup site or a site i quit that's ok also :)

Oh I didn't know that about the guests. I turned that off over a year ago b/c they distract me & I have NEVER had one take me pvt.

That's actually false info. Having your "free chat" disabled doesn't effect others from seeing you or not on the site. All it does is keep the freeloading beggars who signed up on a white label without a credit card from popping in and begging for free shit. Enable or disable it, it won't matter...people will still be able to see you if they aren't logged in.

Had an error in my room who lasted several weeks no matter if I was using SMB, FMLE or straight from browser. The reps and support ware mostly telling me to do the same things written on Support page. They had no clue what could be. I haven t cammed on SM that month and when returning, everything was fine again. I knew it was one of their glitches and hoped for the best soon. But that was in the Autumn, I think. Postedmy experience on anither forum and at that time, if I recall, only 1 girl was having the same issues.

SM is being a huge bitch today! Using the SMB, I get complaints of audio lag. Using the FMLE, I keep dropping bitrate and going blurry ONLY IN PAID CHAT. What the everloving shit is going on. I've gotten 2 low ratings from this so far and I can't keep anyone in pvt because the cam keeps going blurry! But in freechat all's fine because of course it is.
What have I done to deserve the wrath of the cam gods like this?

When I received the option for blocks it was not appearing on my profile at all. One virtual lover sent me a block request and just then I found out.
The issue was fixed very quickly by my rep who reactivated them in my account so I can see them too. I give SM a big plus for quick fixing...me, me, happy, happy

Those of you who splitcam and use the break button better avoid it today. I was in pvt somewhere else and used the break button on sm. 5 mins later I went to check my stream and I was showing naked, so not just that the break button is fucked(at least for me) but it was a 5 min delay as well.

I just log off and log back on after I clean up, the break button isn't worth it. Doesn't it bring your paidchat percentage down because it still counts as you being online in freechat doing no shows? It also seems to glitch/fail all the time, which I would find hugely embarrassing because I am a total unsexy cussing slob off cam. Never gonna risk it. Just log off, it's not that much of a hassle getting back on.

yes its like being a pvt not making money because when you activate it anyone on a white label (witch is more likely then not the case) it actually says ur in a pvt from what ive read by other posters on here.
The last 2 days were horrible, WTF there is no traffic simply!

Rant here. I can't understand why they have social media people to retweet for Streamate (3 I recall?) but act annoyed when models need support? This company completely disrespects its models and it's so obvious. Maybe Liz is the only person there who actually emails models back, but damn. It's time for #Streamatereform

I have had the worst traffic this week. Monday was my only good day. It's like pulling teeth trying to get these guys to get a show. I'm sitting for hours with nothing. They pop in and they pop back out. They say Hi and then leave. My stream is fine when I check it...everything working perfectly. Wtf is going on this week?!! Someone please tell me it's not just me.

I keep telling myself I have to get back on streamate. I think its been 2 1/2 weeks now since I've cammed on there. How long is it until you get reset back to 4 stars? I dont want to go too long... maybe go back on next week but I really dont want to the way it looks like. Looks like a lot of other girls are still going elsewhere too. I at least have to cam a little bit though.... eventually

I just got a 1-star rating, too! Cesar4556...motherfucker takes me pvt without warning or prior discussion and starts begging me to do things I don't do. Tried to be rational with him. Nope, he wouldn't shut up about it. Then he abruptly left the room and sticks me with that shitty 1 star. I'm getting it removed. Asshole.
