Sadly, sites just stop working the way they used to. Not for everyone, of course. Just for some.
I've had to stop trying to make SM be the same as it was 5 years ago.
I Know it's time to move on when I'm making MORE on a texting site. When I don't even have to sit in front of a cam all day.
OR talk to anyone and try to convince them to spend on me. Which is a waste of time anyway, because most of them bail as soon as it gets real.
And I REALLY know it's time to move on, when even great paying regulars are just sitting in chat, telling me they're broke. That they just came by to say hello.::)
I LOVE when they just come in to say "hello"!
Bwaaaaah!

Gold shows freezing halfway through and then once the guys refresh half of them get that blue circle of death, pissing me off so much this week! I won't cancel or stop a show once I am naked and give a free show especially if half the room CAN see me so that means guys then have to contact support to get a refund, which is bad for everybody the site included.
Had a $400 GS that the high tipper of a huge amount couldn't see the show along with several others and then you spend the whole show placating them and letting them know they can get their money back when they should be sitting back relaxing stroking their hard dicks.
SM is such a cock-blocker at the moment!

Even on my 2016 dual i5 iMac I have issues with SM broadcaster & it doesn't allow me to download the FMLE ENCORDER I updated my ram & the broadcaster ran a lot better but started to glitch again I know my equipment is up to date it can't be my fault my internet is the highest business speed
I have the new MacBook Pro and mine won't let me download FMLE either. I wonder why?

Umm... so I'm STILL trying to get approved lol. CB has not been good from me and I haven't been on Naked in bit. I want to try SM despite all the bullshit but daym .. their approval process is trash. I've used the same photos for all my cam accounts and have not had any problems. With SM I have had a problem every step of the way. From my name "not matching" even though it did to my application straight up not being registered as submitted multiple times. Like how many times do I need to fill out an agreement form? AND if it takes almost 3 or 4 or 5 days to get back to me .. no wonder its taken so long.
Any way.. If I can get on, I'd love to see if I can make some money with a new model tag lol.

This has been the same ongoing problem with me all week, empty rooms for minutes after I come out of pvt/exclusive and I've just had it with constantly restarting my room every dang time! This whole week has been awful! I just can't anymore with SM this week which is a bummer cause this site has been my bread and butter for the last 7 years but its been giving so much anxiety, stress and dread. I've had slow days before but never an entire week of it, it's been like walking through mud. Guess I'll be spending some time over at Cams until I feel like I can stomach SM. I know I'm a bit pricey 7.99/8.99 but there is no way in hell I'm lowering my prices, I would rather just stop camming than do that! It's been so shitty I just may raise my rates to the max!
Wow girl! I thought I was aiming high at 3.99 and 4.99. But that's awesome! I will be new.. If my application ever fucking goes through, so I didn't want to go too high. At the same time though, I am building my cam girl brand as a 420 fin dom goddess. I feel it's important for my prices to be higher, to reflect this. On naked. my rates are just below the top girls and on CB they are as high as they can be. 30 tkn a min for private. I do not get fully naked in free chat and only do flashes for tips. I do a lot of teasing . I think this is working because al my privates have been guys that just love talking and watching me smoke and be silly/sexy or sph, or slaves. I don't mind the masturbating and stuff but its really not my main thing. As such, I think my journey as a cam girl will be more trying , but I'm tempted to raise my rates one more dollar lol. I know you've been camming for a few years now, what were your starting rates like?

On top of it being reeaaaallly slow I had so many goddamn 'user connection issue's (which we all know are actually STREAMATE issues in a fair amount of instances) so many times tonight, one of which most definitely cost me what would have been a $50-60 show with a reg. I logged off after 3 hours because I was starting to get visibly furious on cam, which is not a preferred look. I'm averaging like 15% in paid so far this week, shit is rough right now.
I don't blame Streamate for all of it because Summer Slowdown is a thing but the glitches are bad currently, everyone knows it. It would be awesome if they ran another bonus weekend like they did over Easter right about now. Also, I would harp about transparency being owed from the people we give a 65% cut to but it will never change so whatever, fuck it. Will just have to settle for hoping that their income is noticeably hurting as well.

I started working SM on a Macbook Air and it's pretty difficult to make money on there unless you have an i5/i7 processor and are running either the Broadcaster or Adobe.

Sometimes you have to bug them. it took me months (though I sent them an email after a few. THEN they accepted me overnight). wait a week and then send liz an email.

Me too! I tried for hours and hours but I can't download FMLE on my pc. Even had to fill out all kinds of commands in the commandprompt but it is not working.
I am sticking with SMB for Mac now but I would love to have FMLE back! SM has not been of help either.

Yes! I finally got approved a few days ago. With the same pics and everything that kept getting rejected or my name not matching or whatever... Of course now they are having all these broadcasting issues, I'm not sure If I should start this weekend. I probably will do my first day tomorrow though!

My fps was dropping a lot last night. I feel like the fps issues are more common for me towards the end of the month, especially at night.
i think thats a traffic/server overload issue - i have a theory ur experiencing that because towards the end of the month guys tend to penny pinch in prep for rent or being taped out from paying rent and performers are staying on longer to compensate plus its summer so its probably making it that much worse having it be end of the month on top of it being summer still.

Lots of people coming into my room complimenting me, being engaging, then leaving immediately. Not sure if its them seeing my rates and then leaving or if its glitch related. Either way, its starting to discourage me from trying to be engaging right now. Might just be boring and save my energy for people who have already done shows with me, idk.

I'm doing a Go Fund Me campaign for 785 billion dollars. Time to make Streamate great again. First we will start with tech problems and thereafter traffic. we will launch a spectacular 64 second long commercial that will air on all major networks. If we have funding left over we will implement an onscreen menu for when models are hungry 48631

If you're using the same browser for each site it tends to do that. I and a few others have been using Internet Explorer for SM, also have been telling customers to use it as well. For whatever reason there are less glitches with IE.

Hi ladies, I'm new to streamate. I have a question:
how do I select logitech as my video source in the SM broadcaster? I don't see it in dropdown menu. Right now it's set to 'integrated webcam'
PROBLEM SOLVED: nevermind...the logitech option just appeared!

I have an issue with the way SM'S cut off works.
The last 2 Saturdays I had a customers who started the session 15 minutes or so before cut off. One guy even tipped me throughout the exclusive.
When they went over cut off, it showed that the earnings were applied to the FOLLOWING week.
Grrrr.

the money gets put into ur account after the show ends thats why so when u start a show in one week and end it in another it goes into the new week .

Yeah, I figured that's what happened. Thanks Snowy.
It's just frustrating when it happens at the end of a long, dead Saturday on cam.
Like, why couldn't these customers take me Exclusive before? As in the 7 hours I've been on there. Lol!

Just when I thought SM couldn't top themselves they go and add a potential member box on the top of the screen. Is that In hopes we tease for free to get these lurkers to log in to our chat and lurk some more? HA! no thanks
Also I'm sure 9/10 potential members are other models checking the streams or bouncing around to see if it's really "that dead" ...

48650The "traffic" that's left on SM is laughable.
All because I didn't show ass for a non tipper during a failed gold show countdown. Lmao. Wow. Incredible. another reminder why I do all that I do OUTSIDE the industry.

Don't let them get to your head. These are young guys who think they are everything and above everyone.
I used to be so broken when something like this happens. Now I changed my attitude towards it and I laugh about it. :)
My mantra when it comes to this: how pathetic do you have to be to go on a cam site and troll the girls there' .

oh my god this week is sucking. I have made in 4 days what i typically make in one! And I'm about to be on maternity leave.
Whyyyyy
edit: I got back on for the evening shift and made even more than my typical day. Guess ill be working split shifts until it's time to take my maternity leave!
Teddy_Bear
08-02-2017, 01:42 PM
First shift back after being ill the past few days and after my regs came back to spoil me there was pretty much literally nothing for 4 hours straight. I got a nice top up from AW that brought me to my daily goal but dear god I think I even fell asleep at one point live on cam in free chat.
That's never happened to me before but I was so bored :tired:
4 days and counting since I've had a private/exclusive show thank god for tips/gold shows or I would have made nothing at all on there. I'm starting to think there is an issue with going private other than my high rates.
Super dead here as well WTF SM? Cant believe how bad this week is OMG!

Was thinking: many performers complained about the traffic. Now is their way of saying: You have traffic, check the Potential Members, now you just have to convert them, because we had, we have and will always have traffic.

Its been tumbleweeds for me this whole week maybe even 2 weeks, I've stopped paying attention to be able to tell the time frame.
Its not just SM though, Imlive and Cams are like.....https://media.giphy.com/media/2JUwr3tnfiQJa/giphy.gif for me as well.
