This happened to me twice this week - so weird! It's like guys with names from the same part of the alphabet get access to the room at the same time. Yesterday I had all Adams in my room for several minutes, some of them regs who are real people for sure, the rest - who the hell knows.


I'm almost certain the better half of the traffic is bots now. I've been peeping this for quite some time now but at first I just silently peeped it cause of course you sound like a conspiracy theory if you're the 1st to say something. Same thing with potential member box, I'm almost certain it's not real. during gold shows it shoots up to a high number instantly and falls back down once I cancel it cause well with 0-2 people in chat it's nearly impossible to get 1 started. I have noticed the cluster of in and outs on a rare occasion will say something like .... wait for it..... "hi" .....

So, sm yanked my account cause I didn't log in enough said if more than 21 days passed I'd be yanked agin..I was feeling sick & need more time so I emailed them twice, once thru my account, & the other thru my email, asked for more time.
I finally did log in, cause it seemed like they weren't gonna answer.
Today the finally got back to me & they don't know wtf I'm asking??
Lol..

Don't even bother emailing them. The support people often don't even read what I am asking I find.

From what I understand all you have to do is just log into your account, go live for just a minute then log back out and that will prevent your account from being paused.

Wow Yes! Something weird is going on! Potential members stayed around 20 all night. Did a Gold Show and it Jumped to 125 and did not move up or down! Soon as it ended, not even back in free chat yet, right down to 0! :O

I've taken a break for a bit, but the new encoder is not working for me at all. I'm on a windows 10 machine, i7-3770 CPU @3.4GHz. I know its not my rig not being able to handle it. My dinky laptop with a i5 handled it. Is this just me? I try to calibrate and it never ends.

how many gigs of ram do you have?

you may need to delete it and try downloading it again. calibration can get stuck when you're doing it for the first time, so if it gets stuck just try again.

Ugh! none of the SMBroadcasters want to work properly for me. They all over heat my computer except for 14 but my 922 cam doesn't seem to work well with it ( I used to have a 920) so I thought I'd go back to the old external encoder to see if I fair better. My laptop seems to have an easier time with it but now I'm on page 5 !! Is that normal when using the old broadcaster ?

I'm starting to think they hate me too. My placement has dropped drastically, tried switching back to the smbroadcaster instead of the encoder, no difference at all.

The weird thing is, when I check my placement I'm way higher than I normally have been when I first log in for like the first minute, then I drop back to dismal placement again. It's almost like they are manually putting me on the back pages of the site.
*trying not to be paranoid here but damn it's strange*

^^^ I feel the same, i got 3 ratings of 1 star in a week few weeks ago and they were the only ratings that week and now i am at 4.5 stars with a very bad placement, all ratings came from haters cause they entered and asked for not allowed stuff or stuff i dont offer so they left right away and rated me with 1, SM wont remove these ratings even i emailed them with proof/caps included. There is NO traffic! I am not supposed to get angry but keep as calm as possible, i healed very good after the surgery, i am healthy & in a good mind state, i used meditation, self hypnosis but i still need to make money, u cant live with positive thinking only, its insane how this site changed lately :(

Ladies, can it be my 1GB graphics card is not enough for SMB? I mean, i have i5 desktop pc with 8GB RAM and 1GB graphics card, with SMB it hears like the pc is taking over u know, CPU goes up and down constantly and the noise is soo disturbing for my ears ugh! I like SMB as a concept over FMLE, even with FMLE the CPU goes up and down but not as high as with SMB.

Sorry to hear it's happening to you too. I can't even blame bad ratings, have not had any bad ones so I have no idea what is causing this. My internet tests fine and the SMBroadcaster calibrates to the highest settings so I don't even know what to do to fix it, if anything.

I love how it shows us all the guys that are freeloading. They're most likely underage or broke. What's to convert there?

They do convert - I often get guys who've just typed their details into a tube whitelabel.

(I also find educating new guys completely exhausting, so whichever of you girls have the knack for it are welcome to them.)

Think I reached the end of my rope... for the last time.
I was on a really good role with hours (finally hit 90+ for the month) and my hourly is on point ($35 - highest it’s been in awhile) and my placement is pretty good (middle first page). But... everything about Streamate/camming is driving me insane. I’ve dealt with everything over the last 7 years (freeloaders, demanding, peepers, insults) and the more I’m on, the more I lose hope for the male species and humanity. I think... I know, that I am burnt out.
My time online today consisted of zero money, multiple guys who took me private and tried to see something for free in the first 30 seconds (they failed btw lol), guys in free chat saying “spread those legs””pull those panties to the side and show that pussy”lfuck your ass now””do what I tell you to and show me those tits””I’d love to slide my big n****a dick between those milk sacks””put that toy in your ass””show me first what I’ll be paying for” and the list goes on...
oh, and this was THE ONLY thing my chat consisted of, other than guys popping in and talking about my tits and then leaving or popping in and telling me to show pussy/show ass/show tits/suck dildo/fuck pussy/fuck ass and then leaving in 10 seconds.
Yeah, yeah... I know it was a shittier day than usual but FUCK! How am I supposed to sit here for 8 Hours a day, listen to this constant bullshit, make my $35 an hour, set aside 33% for tax and walk away with $21 an hour before Payoneer card fees, conversion fees (I’m in US, not sure why I always get shorted a few bucks on any purchase over $10) and ATM feed. Compared to my last full time Vanilla job (with benefits mind you) after everything is said and done, I ONLY make an extra $30 a week to listen to asshats on the Internet and fuck my pussy for rude, ungrateful, entitled man children who all need Jesus.
Sure, I can take a day off when I want and make my own schedule, but shit, I’m really starting to miss normal people who don’t just blurt whatever comes into their sick minds.
Speaking of sick minds, wtf is up with all these guys who suddenly came out of the woodwork with their incest/children/rape/etc fantasies?!?!? Last week I had a guy try to take me exclusive (sent the request and I declined) because he had DRUGGED HIS WIFE and wanted me to watch him rape her!!!!!! I did screenshot it and report him BTW. I also had a guy today that asked me “what’s the youngest boy or girl you will fuck? I have no limits on age.” WTF IS THAT SHIT?!?!
Sorry for my rant. I just feel so overwhelmed and I’ve listened to this garbage for 7 years and I’m one bad day from my Husband calling in a 5150 on me.
Loves to all you ladies!!!

Sorry for double posting. Forgot to add, I’m nearing my final stretch of months so I gave myself a goal and a timeframe and I’ll do my very best to reach it, once my exit date hits that’s all she wrote, I’m out. Have you possibly thought of doing the same or something similar? I’ve also built a list of Skype regulars so once I’m gone off SM I’ll still have a few cool guys I can cam with

True, the quality of traffic is garbage. It’s like, as soon as SM partnered with PornHub the site turned into a fucking heap of shit. Like, I get that they want to advertise and you’d THINK that porn sites would be the best source for customers BUT they are pulling customers from FREE TUBE SITES! This dudes DO NOT want to pay for porn. Maybe if they only advertised to the Porn Hib members who pay the $1 a week for premium videos but all the guys on PornHub who get converted think that they should get whatever they want from a woman and see whatever they want absolutely free of charge. Like, I’m all into feminism and the power of my sexuality, but being viewed as something you can just use is really bothering to me... maybe I’m not viewing it right. I mean, being on SM is better than any day on MFC or Chaturbate where you’re EXPECTED to give away the goods to anyone who is viewing and hoping some generous people will make your day. But, I don’t even like sitting in free chat on SM. Guys even looking at my glorious cleavage for free irks me. I warn the silent staring guys within 60 seconds, boot at 90 and then ban the third time they come in and do the same shit.
Anywhoo... maybe I should take up heavy drinking lol

Aww ty gorgeous! Yeah I honestly gave up trying to figure it out. I gave up trying to figure out why I’ll have 0-1 members in my chat room and 25+ in the potential member box. I gave up stressing over 5 star ratings and placement. I don’t see a point in stressing anymore over something/someone that ain’t worried about me as a model. I’m done stressing over why 1 out of 500 log ins say hi back to me. I’m done worrying about why it’s nearly impossible to get guys to tip $1 let alone $3 into a gold show. I’m done trying to figure what happened to all the regulars let alone when the glitches will be fixed. I’m done wondering why for every 1 good shift there’s 50 bad ones to follow. From now on my attitude is fuck it and when my exit date day is here I’m bowing out gracefully :)

Ya know, I have Christy. And in my 7 years on being “on cam” half of those I wasn’t actually in regularly because I was working full-time Vanilla jobs but I always got on every time I needed extra money. Then I’d get frustrated with my job and be like “well on cam I could make $$$” and then I hit it hard for six months (like now) and realize quickly why I hate it so much. Camming always looks super glamorous and lucrative when comparing it to a Vanilla job but the grass is always greener ya know.
At this point, I already started applying for things that pay more than I make on cam, offer benefits and will help with my sanity. I’d really like to not hate men... it’s just a very special, demented breed that watch cams (not all, but most).
I totalled up some of my debts/Bills is like to pay off before stopping cam so I can have some breathing room and not be worried about a two week delay with Vanilla paychecks (I was spoiled with Daily Pay and the fast money mentality). Luckily, this bill list/cushion is equal to a week or two on cam, so I know I can go back to work in October and not be stressed. I have a few really good prospects (7 years in business, sales & Finance) so I know I’ll be working by the 15th at the latest. Pretty sure I could be working by middle of next week actually... there is an opening at the Co. my sister works at and I’m more than qualified and she has a lot of pull.
Now, the hard part, so I can make sure I don’t go back to camming... because trust me I don’t want to. *And let me clarify... camming rocks for some people and works for them and that’s soooo damn awesome! It USED to be great for me and fulfil me and make me happy BUT I’ve outgrown it. I started at 19 and I’m 26, married for 3 years and undergoing fertility treatments so we can start a family. It’s just not for ME anymore. Just wanted to clarify so no one thinks I’m lumping sites/customers/cammodels together. The experience and expectations are different for everyone.* but like I said, I don’t WANT to EVER go back to camming. I don’t want to wake up one day and be 30, 35, 40+ and be doing this. It’s just not where I see myself. I worked too hard getting my education and building up a stellar work history and qualifications to spend 90% of my work hours entertaining people who deserve absolutely nothing from me, not even my attention *sorry, so crude, but that’s really how I feel after everything I’ve been through on SM and in the porn world* so, to concrete that decision I need to have my accounts removed from SM, CMD and Skyprivate. Fuck the cammodels commissions... I want zero attachments and no going back.
Now, I do have a few really great customers who I’ve REALLY TRIED to convert to SKype but every single one of them acted like since I had the CHOICE of camming with them outside SM, where they aren’t getting charged by the minute, I should WANT to cam with them at no charge. SERIOUSLY?!? Like these were guys who’d drop $500-$1000 a week doing multiple 60 minute block sessions and they act like my time is free outside of being on SM. I was seriously lost for words.
Jesus... another way too long post. I’ll cut it here lol ��

Aww ty gorgeous! Yeah I honestly gave up trying to figure it out. I gave up trying to figure out why I’ll have 0-1 members in my chat room and 25+ in the potential member box. I gave up stressing over 5 star ratings and placement. I don’t see a point in stressing anymore over something/someone that ain’t worried about me as a model. I’m done stressing over why 1 out of 500 log ins say hi back to me. I’m done worrying about why it’s nearly impossible to get guys to tip $1 let alone $3 into a gold show. I’m done trying to figure what happened to all the regulars let alone when the glitches will be fixed. I’m done wondering why for every 1 good shift there’s 50 bad ones to follow. From now on my attitude is fuck it and when my exit date day is here I’m bowing out gracefully :)

If you don’t mind me asking, and don’t answer if you don’t want to, but how much longer are you giving it? I feel like every month, top models are disappearing or cutting WAYYY back on hours. Like the whole front page looks totally different now than it did a year ago. Girls who were on for YEARS and no where to be found and have been replaced with 18-19 year olds who play the “barely legal” “daddy/daughter” taboo shit. Ewwwww...
and yeah, just like you, when I’m out, I’m out. I thought about doing a countdown to my last day and hoping guys will drop some serious change to see me before I’m gone. BUT... I’ve done that before and made LESS money. So I think I’ll just log off, delete SM broadcaster, send Daily Pay my account termination request and call it a day. Then DRINK and burn my dildos!!!

Ya know, I have Christy. And in my 7 years on being “on cam” half of those I wasn’t actually in regularly because I was working full-time Vanilla jobs but I always got on every time I needed extra money. Then I’d get frustrated with my job and be like “well on cam I could make $$$” and then I hit it hard for six months (like now) and realize quickly why I hate it so much. Camming always looks super glamorous and lucrative when comparing it to a Vanilla job but the grass is always greener ya know.
At this point, I already started applying for things that pay more than I make on cam, offer benefits and will help with my sanity. I’d really like to not hate men... it’s just a very special, demented breed that watch cams (not all, but most).
I totalled up some of my debts/Bills is like to pay off before stopping cam so I can have some breathing room and not be worried about a two week delay with Vanilla paychecks (I was spoiled with Daily Pay and the fast money mentality). Luckily, this bill list/cushion is equal to a week or two on cam, so I know I can go back to work in October and not be stressed. I have a few really good prospects (7 years in business, sales & Finance) so I know I’ll be working by the 15th at the latest. Pretty sure I could be working by middle of next week actually... there is an opening at the Co. my sister works at and I’m more than qualified and she has a lot of pull.
Now, the hard part, so I can make sure I don’t go back to camming... because trust me I don’t want to. *And let me clarify... camming rocks for some people and works for them and that’s soooo damn awesome! It USED to be great for me and fulfil me and make me happy BUT I’ve outgrown it. I started at 19 and I’m 26, married for 3 years and undergoing fertility treatments so we can start a family.

Oh please, your posts are not too long at all so write until your heart is content and I’ll gladly read until the end!! Anyways, I don’t think for a second that you are grouping anyone together - in fact I bet more can relate than you even think. I personally am open and blunt and don’t care if anyone is pointing at me laughing cause I’m a failure as a cam girl. LOL. I learned it’s totally A-ok to close out 1 chapter and start a new chapter. It’s all about happiness and we deserve just that, to be happy.with the direction SM is taking it just isn’t “for me”. If someone tips me $25+ all I can think about is the tiny % I get - that’s another indicator my time is up. I think that’s great you already have some jobs lined up, your sister having connections isn’t pretty rad- I too have sister who has a pretty high up there job I just don’t know I’d want to work with her Cause I feel like I’d be an annoyance LOL. It only gets better! Xox

Thanks doll! I do try to clarify with some of my opinions tho because I’ve literally been attacked by other people on the forum who don’t agree with me (yeah, they didn’t agree with my PERSONAL experience lol) and who have bitched at me about how SM is changing so you have to change your hustle and there IS money to be made and if I don’t like it I should quit so there are more customers for them. Real shit... even in the venting threads, some people just love to argue and troll and make other feels like they are crazy/unsuccessful/a failure etc. like, we ALL know SM has changed for the WORST. It’s harder, there is less money, there is more bullshit. If y’all can hustle through that and maintain your sanity, PLEASE take my shitty customers, peepers and freeloaders. I’ve got thousands of favorites... split them amongst yourselves and enjoy the 15 cents on the dollar after tax. Give me your address and I’ll send you a fucking fruit basket for saving me money on Lexapro!

Right?!?! You tell them you’re leaving and they start BEGGING you to stay... like you’re going to get on everyday and make sure I reach my goal, that’s your plan? I get the same shit from guys who have seen my porn. They ask WHY I don’t shoot anymore and beg me to do scenes because they want to see me sooooo bad. Well, I’m sitting here and you can play with me now but.... let me guess, you don’t have a pot to piss in? Then I ask where they’ve seen my videos and they start naming free tube sites. Then I tell them that is why I don’t shoot anymore! If you don’t pay for your porn, studios don’t make money and I don’t get booked. If I don’t get booked, I don’t get paid and if I don’t get paid these legs stay CLOSED.

Dude, I was just thinking about that earlier! Like I was on another thread and moderators were having to come in and tell people to behave themselves because girls were so damn hostile to each other. Like when money is tight and sites are running dry girls just rip each other to shreds! They will take ANYTHING as an insult! I swear, I could say “SM IS SLOW” and someone would argue with me. Like, let’s leave the bullshit and insults to the asshats who get pissed cuz the pussy ain’t free!!! Like, real talk, my biggest gripe of the week is the dudes on cam who (for the past few weeks) have asked for tits, I’ve told them to tip, they tip like $1 lol or ask how much and when I say $10 they go off on me calling me a rip off and shit. Like dudes whine like children about this shit. Or the really lovely guys who try to haggle with me on price for privates and then Tell me no one will pay $5.99 a minute. Ummmm it’s been that price for 7 years. If you can’t afford it, log off and go get a better job.

I feel you on the social media... I haven’t had it for years. Got tired of dick pics, freeloaders, beggars and drama. Like, my skin crawls when these random guys act like since I’m on SM I’m obviously for sale... or I’m obviously not fucked properly and only their dick will cure me. And yeah, the good old regulars have turned to shit for me too. I see guys everyday who used to spend a bunch of money and now just troll rooms or beg or promise to tip next time lol
That must really suck to have them follow you and then complain because you’re not some bimbo laying in the corner all day sopping pussy juices and waiting for dick. Are these guys really that stupid? Do they think we’re all horny sluts looking for cock and hookups? I seriously stopped responding to any guy who asks where I’m from because they either leave when I answer and they learn I’m not down the fucking street and waiting for their dick or they try to plan a Meetup or start telling me how bad they wanna “fuck my holes” and don’t want to fuck with the cam shit.
And who gives a fuck what a different cammodel did to him? She ain’t you!

That's why I quit doing porn!.. I did it to supplement camming and advertise myself.. And as soon I would log on cam.. it was porn this and that with no money to follow.. and to this day .. I have guys coming to my room saying are you really a porn star? from prior conversations I know they rarely if ever spend money.. Just want to see your free porn and talk about it... So I feel it really didn't help me make more money on cam so I quit doing it...

Oh God, I hate when guys pull that “are you really a pornstar?” Bullshit. Then you say yes and they go radio silent for five minutes and I just know that they are wanking to my shit on tube sites. It’s so fucking annoying.
Like, I haven’t shot in two years and still get guys everyday who beg me to shoot more. AND I have pro quality videos that are brand new that I always tell them they can buy for gold, but they never do. These guys just think I’m on SM for shots and giggles and need a good fucking. *insert eyeroll*
I love when I’m trying to start a show, get my tits out for $10 or go private and guys are like “just show it/do it. Do you have a quota you have to hit or something?” Seriously? A quota? Like we all do this for fun but have to hit $x so our membership is free or something?

Unfortunately, they don’t give two fucks. They advertise us on tube sites, make pop ups that make us look like we’re begging people to fuck us, and worst of all, post us on hookup/dating sites. THIS HAPPENS! Everyday, people are coming in and asking Models why they are on a hookup site... god knows SM has thousands of white labels and a good chunk of them advertise us as “local and wanting sex”.
As long as SM has stupid girls signing up to work, they won’t care about glitches, traffic, etc.

Well, you may want to run a speed test via google. If your upload is 30+ then it is excellent and you should have no issues. Also, on your SM Broadcaster, make sure your CPU percentage doesn't get to high and your frame rate is at least 24+ (30 is excellent) and doesn't jump around too much. If I see my CPU and frame rate constantly changing I just log out and log back on, which normally fixes it. However, during super busy times, mostly in the evening, my frame rate will drop from 31-32 all the way down to 16 and stay there. Obviously that is on SM's end. And it is always helpful to check your stream via the streamate website when you are on. Just make sure it looks right and sounds right.

Now, aside from any possible technical issues, SM has been SUCKING ASS for ALMOST everyone. I'm lucky to make $25 an hour on some days, and that is super low for the kind of work we do and self-employment taxes (33%-40%) that we have to pay. Even top row models are having issues with beggars, freeloaders, etc. Gold Shows are super lucky to reach $75-$100, and I don't fuck myself for dozens of guys if I am only making $20-$30 for a show, which is why I don't get them. Sure, there are a select few that have $250+ gold shows but they hustle their asses off and have 40-60+ people in their room to make it happen. It is very common these days to see top models on for 8-12 hours a day, sitting in silence 80% of the time, going private/exclusive for 2 minutes and having to try multiple times to get a show going. It isn't you, it is just SM.

Everyone said that SM was slow because it was summer, but guess what, SM is ALWAYS slow. We may have a good day, week or couple weeks... but that's it. Summer is over, now its fall and there is football on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays (horrible days lately). Then there is holidays (people out of town, spending money on Christmas and such, no money) this shortage on funds continues till February/March and then it picks up around April when people get their tax refunds and slows back down almost immediately for Spring Break (kids at home, people out of town, on vacation) then summer rolls around and we are all fucked again. So, out of 12 months, we probably have three-four great months on cam and then the rest of the year turns to shit. Now, add this with the technical issues on SM, their horrible advertising, etc... it is a disaster.

Yes, some models make good money on SM and most make at least minimum wage... but it is harder these days than it used to be. Don't be too hard on yourself. Just work it as hard as you can, log as many hours as you can. If it isn't doing what you need it to, find another site or explore your options like many of us are doing now. Models are leaving left and right. So once again, it IS NOT you.

Oh, and the in and outs... standard. Other girls (top few rows) will have anywhere from 0-60 people in their room at any given time so there are more people and hence more people wanting to chat. I am middle page one and at the most I will have 8 people in my room and still no one talks. The in and out guys are just hopping room to room looking for something to jerk off to for free. Don't worry about those guys. The way I see it, the more pop in and out guys I get, the less begging I hear.

For me, I've found that ... free chat is kinda pointless on streamate? The guys that want to go private will take me private within the first 5 minutes of really entering my room. Just a lil bit of chit chat and dude's got his dick out and he's ready. The people who sit in my room and try to talk me up...they're the ones who end up wasting my time/wanting freebies or they're the ones who try to get a full on fucking show without taking me exclusive LOL
So yeah, I don't really sweat it when my room's dead. It just means I don't have a paying customer yet.

I can't get over potential members box. I just can't. They should let us choose if we allow them to watch or not, or if we want to see it, without being forced to turn on geo block. If I wanted to know that a lot of creeps are watching me, I would go CB or Bonga. There's no way to not acknowledge them or to not feel anxious so I'll have to turn on geo block again.

I love the ones that pop in and immediately go private/exclusive. You're right... all the other ones are looking for freebies or want to 'talk' about what you would do in a show while they jerk their tiny broke-ass dicks for free. I hate guys who wanna chat.

It is very common these days to see top models on for 8-12 hours a day, sitting in silence 80% of the time, going private/exclusive for 2 minutes and having to try multiple times to get a show going. It isn't you, it is just SM.

Everyone said that SM was slow because it was summer, but guess what, SM is ALWAYS slow. We may have a good day, week or couple weeks... but that's it. Summer is over, now its fall and there is football on Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays (horrible days lately). Then there is holidays (people out of town, spending money on Christmas and such, no money) this shortage on funds continues till February/March and then it picks up around April when people get their tax refunds and slows back down almost immediately for Spring Break (kids at home, people out of town, on vacation) then summer rolls around and we are all fucked again. So, out of 12 months, we probably have three-four great months on cam and then the rest of the year turns to shit. Now, add this with the technical issues on SM, their horrible advertising, etc... it is a disaster.

Yes, some models make good money on SM and most make at least minimum wage... but it is harder these days than it used to be. Don't be too hard on yourself. Just work it as hard as you can, log as many hours as you can. If it isn't doing what you need it to, find another site or explore your options like many of us are doing now. Models are leaving left and right. So once again, it IS NOT you.
