^^ I get it 600 but this particular model is all about SM Armageddon! I just wanted to point out that the option to move on to another site IS available! Like if all you have to say is that the site is rigged, its only beneficial to their friends and favs, spread lies about them and preach about how its dead in the water and end times are near it might be that you dont need a Vent thread but you need to sign up on another website.
Just a suggestion.
Okay, you are exaggerating. Just understand that this is the vent thread, not everyone does great, not everyone is a SM butt kisser and everyone is free to post whatever they want. Your post was really rude IMO. You can make suggestions nicely :)

LMAO never said Sm was my only site. Did I ? Obviously I only talk about SM because it’s the SM VENT THREAD. as I said , don’t come to a complaining thread if you don’t like complaints. LMAO

No your issue is that your no different than the other SW bullies who come into threads and attack those who are following the rules of the specific rules. But I’ll let you continue. Done responding to someone who knows everything

Im not exaggerating. What do you think Im exaggerating? Please explain. Im just saying that telling lies about the site and saying its about to go belly up to everyone is not simply venting or complaining and its certainly not discussing its just trolling. I get it. You hate SM! Your 100% in your rights to hate SM. Now move on because the thread is a place to relieve stress and talk over our frustrations not spreading lies and soothsaying.

LMAO nothing I said was a lie or trolling. You must be SM staff member. the glitches and traffic are getting worse and I am NOT the only model to realize or experience this. Congrats to you if you’re part of the select few who have a perfect shift with no glitches and all the shows in the world. Being on there as long as I have I’ve put in the time and hours to be able to say that it’s terrible etc. not sure who pissed in your cereal but what you won’t do is talk to down to me

Already explained. Because everyone can vent. Be it about traffic, about glitches, about ANYTHING. Just because it bothers YOU it doesn't mean they should stop. She should not be told to stop posting her vents. No one should. Not in THIS thread. Not by YOU. Not by anyone. I did not see her previous posts, I did not even noticed this user until now so I can not talk about previous posts but in the one that you jumped at her throat for I did not see any lies about SM.

This is nothhing new. new owner had to of taken over SM cause it’s went utterly to shit. Those who defend it are personal friends and favorites of SM staff. The vagina and finger banging in free chat has gotten worse. Sm is slipping. A sinking ship to say the least. It’s suppose to be a private based site but now it’s a cheap 3rd world token site sweatshop. Not only that, all these cheap ass models with their twizolli out while guys tip $1. Congratulations on training guys to expect a $200 show for $1 all in free chat.
I’m not sure If a new owner has taken over, I’m just saying it seems like one did. Too much has changed for the worst. The % Sm takes is criminal

Okay Im done. Sorry PGD I realize your prolly gonna pull this whole thing. In my defense I was not intending to bully or take away anyones right to venting, complaining or discussing. I support those rights it just felt to me that this model was spreading poison and not contributing so I called it. I didnt send anyone to fuck off or call anyone names I just call it like I see it but I realize when Im arguing a battle just to be right and I dont want to have that fight so please go ahead without me. Im just as happy to be wrong. Have a great day everyone and make lots of $$$

sm is a sinking ship. 20% of $0 is still ZERO. real cute they offer a 'bonus' on their sinking ship. LOL. i am laughing" . There is where I thought you were being rude in your reply. As for the quotes, how do you know they're lies? Only an insider can know. And I think you're a performer, like all of us here. Unless SM hired you to jump at performers throat for venting. Have a nice day/ night :)

LMAO ur the one not reading. CLEARLY says “had to of” and right after it CLEARLY SAYS “I’m not sure but it seems like one did” .. also everything is FACTS not lies. Girls are ALWAYS in free chat with their vagina out, breaking rules and it’s a KNOWN FACT a select few get away with selling panties, snapchat , full nudity, selling of phone numbers. Good try tho

I think lots of people should take a break from this thread. Especially when it comes down to name calling. Yes people are allowed to vent in vent threads. Although I do find it excessive when its the same people day after day bumping the same thread. For that reason I think it may be difficult for other people to avoid it when it's constantly being bumped to the top. No other site seems to solicit this sort of attention, but Streamate? For years the amount of arguing surrounding this site sends me into confusion. Lets all be nice to one another and try to take it easy. It's 420 for Gods Sake!

this is a thread for venting, let's be real that most of us don't have peeps in real life with whom we can do that
this is such a stressful time for all of us (between FOSTA, the skype issue, the payoneer crash). We currently occupy a space that feels no obligation to us, but that's changing because of ALL of us who participate in this work on our own terms, changing over time in an organic way but I see it happening. part of taking control of one's own biz for community benefit is identifying the issues that affect us, whatever niche/sites we work.
and yeah, when it's a bad day get it out
my contribution is fuck the world but not the peeps within it, we just need to change some systems to meet OUR needs. that extends beyond sex work but I won't go off on a rant here =)
please let's be kind to each other here. having spent some time around my dude's fam (they are NOT privy to my adult work, nor my partner's extensive time and assistance in it as unpaid work helping us in his spare time) lately I remembered how isolating this work can be. I'm extremely grateful that I've never felt that within my own fam or close circle of friends in any country I've lived in. dealing with the inlaws and having to lie about my biz and the systems that affect it sucks. not fun, and prob the norm for a lot of community members here.
so yeah, vent away and let's be kind to each other. it's such an easy gift to give and means a lot (I know that having being the recipient at times)
much love chicas, wishing everyone a wicked money day :goodvibes

For 600 Sorry just to have been arguing with you. I have always appreciated and respected what you have shared in the past and this changed that in no way.
Im going to try to remember to be more positive around here and take some time to really think before I start typing.

I appreciate your kind words and I am sorry for being captain Cunt in return because it wasn’t nice of me. and things are funky in the adult world and my heart aches for everyone going through It. The above poster is so right, most of us have nobody but one another and this forum to discuss things. I can admit sometimes some of our venting is outta control but where else do we go? :(

I'm just glad to see that you two made peace :)
On a positive note, regarding Cosmo Pay for who is interested SM posted this message on the main performer's page/ dashboard:
"Please note: If you are expecting payment via CosmoPayment this week, it has been initiated. Because this payment solution was implemented quickly, there may be a delay on when you see the funds in your Cosmo account. We are working to resolve this and expect processing to return to normal schedules in the coming week or two. Rest assured, your payment will be received!"
I was freaking out but now i calmed down, very good they informed us about it, guess they were assaulted with emails regarding payments thorough Cosmo, i was about to write Liz or sm support about it as i really need that money, i did not cash anything from SM since FC fiasco....
(will post this in Cosmo Pay thread as well for the ladies in there that dont check on this thread).

thank your for this post
this a significance source of stress for all of us, as cammers and site owners and those of us that do both. I think it's important to remember we are allies in this biz. we need to be, fucking vital
Peeps who exclusively used Payoneer/FC as their payment method have been having a really hard time. Essentially working for free while each site figures out a new system. I've sent in several applications for new options for listees who don't have a bank account but it makes my stomach churn after Epass, Chexx and FirstChoice
As both a cammer and site owner I have been burned way too many times. as I wrote in a rant on another forum we need to stick together, esp during the tough times.
Would advise those who can - get a bank account.
and thank y'all above for turning this thread 180 degrees

Good day ladies. I hope all of u are doing well. I just logged in streamate and a few people have told me that the video looks pixelated af so I told them to try a different browser, from mobile, well, all posibilities in the world but nothing changed. That issue can explains some of The in and outs today. So yeah, lets see later if this gets better. For a while, Im going to eat a piece of chocolat cake and watch an episode of american horror story. LoL

Hello Mistress, absolutely yes! Ive had some different customers today and they told me exactly the same, this pixelated video and bad audio. I told them to check other girls rooms and were the same so I felt a bit tranquil that this issue wasnt on my end. From mobile and pc, same. I just logged off for a while because stressing about it cant change anything. But is frustrating that one day the platform works great and the next day or two is completely

So, Anyways, SM has been doing 20% extra income, I THINK this is the third year or maybe second.
Last year I didn't notice a huge spike of girls online.. maybe bc its not a huge prize.

So not sure if it was just me, but tonight i kept freezing, tried deleting my cookies, restarting, even uninstalled and re installed my broadcaster, I was hardwired to the internet and still lagging and freezing. literally since like 9pm to 2:30am just freezing up on both pc and phone. Idk if the issue is SM site or the actual broadcaster. Because when i tried to cam without it, my feed looked fine but not as good quality as with the broadcaster. Anyone else? I reported the issue to SM but are they doing anything about these issues?

I think some glitches started on thursday, the day they announced the bonus week, coincidence? I was checking my feed and it was pixelated most of the time. Asking customers and a friend, some said it was ok and some said my video was going off. Then on friday was looking good to me but only in and outs and earned peanuts so maybe custies still had glitches.

20% extra pay sounds fucking awesome BUT I'm worried that with the amount of models logged in all week, there won't be enough traffic/privates to go around. I just hope it's not frustratingly dead.
With all the models online it ends up evening out or being worse than when they don't do the bonus. Here's a better idea, give us at least 50% of our earnings. And at least 70% of gold since those are technically tips.

I agree. This is an SM vent thread, so vent away about anything to do with SM. It does generally suck, so it's easy to find something to complain about.

Fingers crossed and good vibes to all! I hope for once SM is killer and shows and traffic are plentiful. My exit date is coming. I’m done just before my 5 year mark but what a joy it’ll be if just for once there’s no glitches, we deserve it after all is said and done. Cheers to hopefully a miracle week and 20% bonus. Every little bit will help :)

In actual fact their 20% bonus on earnings is a massive 6% rate increase, which in my case is an increase from 30% to 36%. WOW!!! If all the girls start working tomorrow, I reckon there could be more than a 6% drop in earnings. It would have been nice this evening as I did ok, but tomorrow could be dismal.

They ask for the source of income (name of the company) and what that money represent.
In the drop down box u need to select 'Other' as source of income, DO NOT select 'salary' or anything else.
I typed in there 'ICF Technology / Streamate' as source of income then in the lower box i typed 'Streamate cam site'.
They know anyway where our money come from ;)
Just saw this, thanks!

Captain Cunt
I just bought a kayak for being out on the ocean when I don't want to swim. Plus it's still wicked core exercise along with arms/shoulders/back. Boats don't interest me, I'd rather be in the water or working it than just floating
Peeps always name boats (my fav is the one named Defiance) but never kayaks. Anyways I named her Capitan Cunt and a friend who is a magical graphic artist did a spray paint of it on the side after he painted her purple. The stylized logo he made is in teal. Captain Cunt in tangerine font with a 3 cat paws beside it. name in teal, cat paws in black. I love it so much.
Hope you don't mind be biting your term =)

Yeah. And for some, it's the 6% they aren't gonna see until the end of May (given they get any of the money at all).
I really am not impressed by the fact that my money are not in my Cosmo account by now, it was supposed to be there on friday; not sure if it's a SM or Cosmo issue but this is soo stressing to wait .... not good :(

exactly
there are hard working women who won't get paid til their new cards for new payment systems arrive. crazy that some peeps who bank are broke as fuck right now, through no fault of their own.
My own merc bank sometimes 'forgets' to pay me sometimes too. Currently they owe me almost 9k in a 'batch file they 'forgot to send' on Friday. (yes I have inquired about this before and they eventually do send and Jolee and I have a super healthy bank account float for both lcms and GPC so zero impact on listees when they do this.).
I know at least I will eventually get paid (usually their 'forgetfulness' lasts 3 days max) but can you imagine approaching a cammer owed funds with "so I owe you over 9k but I'll send when I get around to it?"
zero accountability, for real cam chicas are the moral compass of this industry and while we need to operate under Visa/MC rules we can demand and deserve better that this ish. let's work together to change that and constructive criticism of all sites (including my own) is vital to that process. we cannot fix issues in this biz that we don't identify.
Sm clearly need to fix their site. and hire some people who don't reply with a response to a detailed tech issues with "are you connected to the internet?"
We are the future of the sex industry and with social media the cam sites need us more than we need them (my own included there as well)
We're gaining power, we just need to use it. and sites that fuck up and don't respond to emails/issues, there are a ton of alternatives from which to choose. Remember before sm gained dominance lj was top? Ish changes quickly in this biz, and we all have agency in that
Vent and be loud and demand excellence. we deserve that.

Are any of you experiencing this? That's some weird shit.
