I just saw a Russian 18 year old webcamgirl crying on that website yesterday, wow. That made me really sad. I was really concerned for her. She seemed to be new since she was only 18 of age. Sometimes I also feel like tearing up on that website...It's awful.

Are you guys using the SMBroadcast? I tried that first and couldn't connect. Then tried OBS Studio. Same thing. Uhggg!

I've had 2 customers this morning tell me my video keeps freezing. The last customer left because of it and he's a good regular and we were in a good and easy exc!!! I am using the sm broadcast, is it a glitch and happening to anyone else? I just want to make sure it's not on my end?

I had issues this morning. Disconnecting several times, video quality and frame rate dropping like freaking crazy. Tried using OBS it disconnected me the minute I established connection. My internet speed is good 203 down and 10 up.

When video is freezing is usually due to inconsistent upload speed which can cause bit rate to drop or it could be because your modem/router is bad. How is old is your modem? I buy new one every 8 months.

How can I check this?
I'm frustrated, getting into pvt and have 4 people on, which great, but terrible when they are saying it's freezing, or blurry or lagging!

Do a speed test when they complain. Sometimes it's not the internet but your modem could be bad.

starting page 2nd, I see everybody shows offline, yet the model count is still the same.
Now I show on row 1 . Im never row 1. Not to mention I dont have myself added as a fave. 1 person in the room who does not talk.

Oh yea, everyone flocked to SM the last few years. They came from MFC mainly. Now MFC has less models online and SM more and SM can not keep up with the servers so its gonna be crap for all of us now.

SM Broadcaster freezes so bad on me I cant even turn it off by clicking the exit button. I click exit " x" and nothing happens, while my cam looks all frozen.
Im going crazy.

Well that's my stats off the SMB, does it show stats as read from my side?
I thought it was from their end. Under Streaming Quality Factors, it's all excellent across all three.
My modem is a brand new one supplied from my ISP.
I'm inclined to think as others, sm just isn't focusing on this enough. I don't know, but if we were updated on what improvements they are actually doing and specific issues, it wouldn't make us ponder so much. I think we are all smart enough to understand the technical side, keeping us in the loop would certainly help.

Honestly, like really honestly, how is it for everyone lately? Since new years when this 'algorithm' stuff started, I feel like it's all gone down hill. This has been my worst couple of months ever and I have a shit ton of debt to pay off, meanwhile there's shit that I want to do but cant because every penny I make goes towards my debt. So it's really depressing to say the least.
What sites are popping right now? Or is it dead across the board? Feel like it's time to stop being exclusive to SM and go indie, but where do we start to go indie?

What algorithm change?
It's DEAD for me on both SM & CB. :(
And I thought the dropped frames issue I was having was due to ME & my ISP, so I have them coming out here & for what??? I see now it was the site back on teh 21st & I think any dropped frames I am getting is still b/c of the site.
Are you gals still getting dropped frames?

I've been doing better this month, but ever since November up until end of January it was terrible. I got behind on EVERYTHING. So now I'm having to play catch up and unless I'm making min 2k a week now, I'm going to burn out. It's two steps forwards and 1 1/2 back.
BUT I'm optimistic, there is always something I can do, I can't create more time but I can create more productivity. It has slowly been getting better.
As for streaming I have perfect under the site but cust sometimes complain there is audio lag.
Today I logged in and the bitrate was at 947 and fps at 23. I logged off and did the optimize thing then it was fine :-)

^ this week was really good for me, one of my highest earning weeks in a long time. last week was pretty awful. but, that may have been my own undoing. when i have one bad/glitchy night, i tend to self-sabotage and log on the next night discouraged, so i end up perpetuating this cycle of low-earning nights. then i take a night or two off, come back refreshed, have a really good night, and get motivated again. that's how this week was. i started the new pay period off with a $500 night, so that just got me pumped to keep working and grow my paycheck all week.
it's a bit of a manic cycle and honestly it drives me nuts. but i think my fluctuating success or failure on SM has less to do with the glitches/traffic and more to do with whatever mental state i'm in when i log on. if i stay in a decent mood and just put my hours in, i always meet or at least get close to my minimum goals.
also, i can totally relate to putting every paycheck towards debt, and feeling "2 steps forward, 1 step back." i'm making progress but it feels like i'm wading through mud. i'm so close yet so far from my goals, and it feels like it's taking for-fucking-ever to get there. i'm just trying to stay disciplined.

I agree with all this. I had been having a great week, but Wednesday was a dumpster fire. I think it was a combo of the site and me; I was in a bitchy mood and much shorter with guys then I prefer to be. Took yesterday night off and am trying to relax and get myself in the right mindset.

i will add, i have had an unusually hard time getting gold shows going this week. i get a lot of new traffic during countdowns but much of it seems to be silent onlookers who don't say a word or tip. i'd take a "show tits bb" over total silence any day, haha. at least then i have something to joke about and respond to.
but on the flip side, i seem to be getting a lot more people joining privates. i don't usually get multiple guys in private very often, but this week i've had a few sessions where 4 or 5 people stayed for several minutes at $6.99. it added up for sure.

Is anyone else having a glitch where the color of their stream on the site does not match the color of their stream in their broadcaster? It used to match, now it looks like crap on my stream. Yellowish.

you look yellow on the actual site, or on your own broadcaster, but looks normal on the site? I have been thinking this as well just started recently .. i thought i was the only one

It looks correct in my broadcaster (SMB, OBS and FMLE, have tried them all and have the same problem in all) but on the site it looks yellow and washed out and not just a little difference, a big difference. So I am having to adjust my broadcaster video filters to make it blue/purple and then it looks a little better on the site but still not correct, and then I'm looking at myself all blue while streaming which is weird.

i had this problem a long time ago, i think sometime last year. i did the same thing you were doing and adjusted various settings on my end, while watching my stream on the site. it was super annoying. i think i reported it to support and it eventually was taken care of.

has anyone else been getting a glitch where a bunch of users in free chat simultaneously disappear at the same time? it will say "username logged off (reason: unknown)" next to all of them. they all come back and tell me it says i went private, but i was in free chat the whole time.
it's happened to me the last three nights and i have taken screenshots and reported it to tech support every time. they said they'd look into it.

This has been happening for so long and to so many people. I really think this is the top glitch that effects our traffic. They see you are in a show and hop to their next favorite. Also one of my everyday regs says I don't show up in his favorites, he has to search for me every time he is on even though I am one of a few (he says only lol) he has in his favorites

i've had the glitch where it shows the "model is performing live" window when i'm not in private before, but it didn't use to kick the guys out of free chat. guys would just leave on their own or refresh and tell me what happened. but this week it's been simultaneously kicking everyone out of my room. weird.

yesterday I lost an exclusive cause of a disconnect, today I had 2 priv lost..my wifi sucks too tho. The one customer was saying his cam kept freezing, he did come back once, but after that I was having prob. I use my hotspot, that sucks, I use my phone, & my data use is high, so it's not working, even tho it's supposed to be unlimited.
Going to switch to a better plan Tues, when the payment's due.

First of all, I'm a longtime lurker and first time poster lol. I die laughing every time I see someone say that haha. I have thought about camming for years, yesterday was my first day on SM. $160 in like 3 hours. I haven't noticed anything with glitches in the screens yet. I'm really hoping I can make some $ at camming but maybe SM isn't a good indicator of potential income? Has it been really slow for awhile?

Every time someone says what? You said this directly under a string of posts where girls were bemoaning their bad shifts, so I'm led to believe that you think it's so funny when girls are not doing well to the point that they're upset that you bust out laughing...? I get tired of seeing so many 'streamate sucks' posts but if other people's misfortune tickles you to the point of laughter you may be severely lacking in empathy. :O

Not a complaint but definitely a site issue - my placement has been crazy high lately and although I'm super happy about it, there is no way it's working correctly because I've been off sick for a bit and barely made any money lately.
My internet speed increased but shouldn't have made that much of a difference but going to ride it out while I can. Just wanted to make note that if you are noticing placement issues I think there is some sort of problem right now.
