If the Customer is new, I believe he has to do a private first before exclusive can show up. If he's not new, then who knows with Streamate! lol

Has anyone else noticed there are a ton of guys on SM this week who are brand new to the site and have no clue what they are doing? They also seem to not speak English very well. Some of them seem to think it is a dating site, some seem to have figured out what it is, but not that they have to go private to actually get a show and none of them are paying. I have never had this many clueless dudes at one time before and it just started this week.
yep, same here! That's why I was worried about the quality of the traffic lately, in my previous post. It's scary and disheartening :(

Or he needs to tip $5 first, refresh and then he'll see the exclu button.

Thank you! I had no idea that newbies couldnt just take you exclusive. That seems a little counterproductive, but thank you for the info!!!

I hesitated to post how bad my week started but i really feel soo much pain that i was not able yet to get myself ready to cam, it's been 6.8 hrs in total split in 2 shifts, 2.8 hrs and 4 hrs, i only had a short pvt during the 1st shift and nothing in the 4 hrs shift, not a single pvt or tip, i talked to them, did all i could to get them to come pvt or tip and nothing, i ended my session in tears simply, off cam of course.
Pls dont judge, it's not about me cause i know my job, it's about ... cant figure out what is going on really, i am glad some people do well on SM, it's sad some of us do really bad lately for some reason.
All i want here is to share my pain cause it hurts, it really does, if u go thru this urself pls know u not alone, i know many people avoid to post cause they feel they'll be judged or laughed of but i am beyond this, it does not matter for me, not anymore.
I am just praying to find motivation to get back on cam, it helps i can express my feelings here, ty for reading and be blessed!
Hey Kat, really sorry this happend to you, SM this week was a little weird for me to.
Example:
Sunday, (always my best day) first 2 hours, 6% in paid, Sticked to it, after 5 hours 36 %.
My last shift i think around 8% after 3 hours, after 6 hours 28%.
It can turn around like that right! just wanted to let you know, dont give up.
Hug to you

okay and im sorry if im blowing this feed up, and i honestly may be mistaken to be honest.
but i thought when i read the agreements to camglomerate,
it said you can post 1 tweet per 2 hours.
Well my shit got approved and enabled and says i can post 2 times in a 12 hour span...?
Trust me, i can get that they dont wanna spam things
im just kind of trippin because i could have sworn it said
1 per 2 hours.

Yeah, another 3 days contest coming. I'm at 40$ for the WEEK with 1000 minutes online and they are announcing another fucking contest. Cuz this is exactly what some of us need. I'm giving it till the end of the week, tho I'm sure it's not gonna pick up,it been like this for a long time, then I'm leaving this stupid site, it became horrible and I don't want to give it my time and my bandwidth anymore.

I have been getting SO many new guys lately! I had one yesterday who thought that everything was free and that I would meet him. Nope!
Why do guys insist on talking when they do C2C through their mic. I can barely hear them, the feedback sounds like shit, and then they get upset because I'm not responding to what they say. Dude, I can't hear you! Use the phone or type. I have to turn up the volume all the way to even try to hear them and still am barely able to.
I HATE this! I will ask them to get a headset. Some guys will ignore my request then I will just mute my computer. If they don't want the private to be twice as long, they can grab the headset instead of us typing back and forth.

when I see a contest, to me it's like they are admitting that their traffic sucks and they need to rely on catfights to squeeze some money out of the traffic leftovers :( I mean "catfights" in a metaphoric way of course... just to underline the idea of models getting out of their way and doing more work than usual...which is hard because we are already working at our hardest :( Hope I am making sense, I am just kinda scared :(

It kind of makes me sad because SM was the first site I started camming on and I learned everything from that site, but honestly if we want them to implement changes, we need to stop working it until they do. There are entirely too many cam sites with good traffic to be caught up in the streamgate havoc. Money can be made anywhere! Don't stress yourself limiting your income to this site. They simply do not value their models enough.

11-17-2017, 10:01 PM
Well spent my 6 hours online to make 1.42 so
It looks like instead of trying to not make more money
After work I'm just going to spend that time
Applying on other cam sites. I've said that a time or two
When it was bad, but even then I was able to pull at least minimum wage or enough to take care of the bills.
Thank God I saved all my documents this time around so applying shouldn't take that long.
This time I'll make sure to dedicate my time familiarizing myself with these other sites instead of getting over
Whelmed and running back to sm because it's comfortable

I joined and got approved yesterday on their promo app powered by Streamate (CamGlomerate) to check it and it is posting tweets about 1 per hour of other girls in my feed. I am offline today so can t post a tweet through them myself for now but I am pretty sure by the end of the day I ll have 20 tweets of them on my feed. Was thinking that if I have the priviledge to post 1,2 tweets per day on their deck, I ll likely have on my feed a handful of tweets for other girls, not every hour. I m keeping it for a while but it looks really spammy.

I had similar thoughts, I really like the idea but yea it's pretty harsh we have to cam 12 hours for 2 tweets while our Twitters turn into free advertisement for streamate drowning out our own personal advertisement. I hate having to use Twitter, but it's an incredible marketing tool so I bite the bullet and try to post at least 5 times a day to stay active and out there, I can't keep up with the CAMGLMRT tweets.
So like you, I'll keep it for a while but right now for a fact streamate is benifetting more from being able to advertise all their models on my Twitter 24/7 while reducing our posts to only while online and every 6 hours.
Good one again sm, just when it appears you may have actually made a move to benifet both sides, it's really just benifetting you. That 64/36 split pops up in every aspect of your business.

I got rid of it after about a day. Never even used it to tweet myself out. My feed was slammed with a ton of posts from other girls and I actually lost a few followers right after I turned it on. I have no problem tweeting other model's posts and do it all the time myself, but it was just way too much. I also didn't like that you have to use their white label link instead of your cammodel link. There are plenty of promoters on Twitter with tons of followers who will RT your stuff with your own link.

I have not really been on for almost 2 weeks. Tonight I log in and I can't stay connected. I get an error saying something to the tune of a pop up (producer style) that says my connection dropped but keep camming as we fix it." I am to the point now that I can't stay connected more than 2 min.
I just noticed my wi-fi is one (I am hardwired) and normally I have to turn off my WiFi competently in order to stay connected to SM; never Seen a pop up like that though..... let me try this and will update if it changes anything.....

I wouldn't mind Camglomerate if it didn't force me to accept all the other models on my profile feed. I DO retweet other models, but only those I LIKE and I feel related too. Also, my profile is pretty softcore, I don't post/ retweet nudes or porn stuff and it's weird for me to have the feed full with models who promote a niche that I am not into. If it'd let me choose what tweets stay on my profile and what not, I'd definately have no problem with it.

Do they think we have pussies made out of vulcanized rubber? Four days in a row JFC. I think I'm definitely going to skip the first 2 days when everyone's all gung-ho and camathoning like a beast. Aim for top 100 on the third day and then go balls out on the last day when most of the top girls have tapped out.

Me myself, I am too old for this. Had my share of wrecked nerves and burned out youth with Imlive's contests for years and years. I will just sit on my butt and watch youtube videos if there's no traffic in my room, and that's that. You never know when some drunk rich guy could occur and fall asleep in your private chat, tbh. This contest, too, shall pass :D
I only wish they would not run like bats from hell if they see me trying to do other things like reading or crocheting or drawing or writing... it bugs me that they expect us to be jumpy and smiley all the time like crazy horny monkies. Oh well..don't get me started on the "benefits" of free chat. I was "born" into this camming world way before this disgrace started so I am still missing the good old times...

I'd be so damn up for it if it were one four-day contest as I cam 9/5 anyway. But if progress is reset every day - no thanks. I'm good at long-distance running, but I don't have the audience or the whales to get $500+ dropped on me within a day I specify.

I really wish SM would change up the contests once in a while. I am having a hard enough time as it is on the site without a reminder that 500 people are doing better than me every few weeks when a top earner oriented contest happens. I don't even look anymore at the contest placement or details. As soon as I see it's a top earner oriented contest I'm like good for them. The girls doing well will get a nice bonus. I'd like to be in that category one day but it's just not a realistic place for me right now.

Lol one of these days I had someone go pvt, send me a c2c while I was having one already (sure thing, his didn't come through), then try making requests by voice and give me 2 stars because I "ignored what he was saying" (that was what he told me when I asked him why).
Dammit pal, if YOU can't hear your voice coming out of my speakers, how do you think I would hear it given I'm wearing no headphones? Is your C2C supposed to be transmitted right into my brain or something?
Had to ban the bitch because he started demanding free shit to re-rate.

Im using SMB.
What does this mean when trying to Log off? ( I first click stop from the browser, then stop from SMB).
I always wondered if this means it is disconnecting me from all their servers.
The count is attempt # 3 and it goes all the way to 8. In the past I think there were like 5 attempts.
Does anyone know? Edit: This is right after I disconnect .. Im not even sure why it says " Restoring disconnected stream...".... Doesn't make sense.
