Is the site down? I can't stream. Models count are super low. GRRRRRRRRRRRR
Yes. Seems like it was down this afternoon. Went from 1500 girls to 800. Of course, SM hasn't written us an email about it. BUT, I'm sure we'll get emails about the next pop-up contest though!

Last night was so bad. FPS dropping, video quality dropping. $4 in an hour and a half and I just couldn't take it anymore. I was so hopeful for this 20% bonus too. Saturday was okay, but even that was pretty slow for a Saturday.

Avoided the first 2 days, and now I'm stressing about working today.. got booted from SM broadcast in the first 15 minutes online, and video was stuttering within 5 minutes of logging back in. Was gonna pull about 10 hours and now I'm worried about just staying logged in long enough to make my lowest of low goal. Restart comp, reboot router, recalibrate smb, switch browsers, repeat mantra. :( I've honestly been thinking about strategically taking contest days/weeks off when I can afford it because I'm not sure the bonus is worth a chuck of my sanity.

Well, last nite monday I had some moments were my video feed was pixelating, freezing and a lot of lag. After few mnts then it went to normal, but nowadays u never know, today can be good then the next day is a hell. I dont know what the fck happens with the dudes leaving me 1 star rating, uggg really, I dont know what im doing wrong but these guys are the ones that usually come to ur private chat just to see nude pussy for not more than 2 mnts then bam! Bad rate. I know That im not a girl that will like to every guy but is frustrating when u put a ton of effort in a show just to get a bad comment etc.

Last night every time I went to look at my dashboard I'd have to log in again because it kept logging me out? And if I went to refresh the main broadcasting page the same thing would happen. Then after logging in I would go to start streaming and it would default the setting to widescreen and I'd try to select SM broadcast as but the option wouldn't even be there!? Eventually after refreshing and re logging in it came back but it was so odd.

I sent an email to Liz explaining how so many of us are affected by the glitches, the lagging, and disconnecting users. I was really open-hearted about it and told her that this is bonus week, we literally cannot afford to even attempt to stream and work when the site is like this. I asked her, hell, pleaded with her, to tell me what was going on, if the site was doing maintenance, and if so, when it will be over so we can actually work in the environment we should be able to. Her response was "Please fill out a report here" and a link to report issues with streaming. It felt like a slap in the face. She's normally so helpful and I just wanted to let her know the site was acting so horribly for all the girls if she didn't already know. And I wanted to know if she had any time frame of when it would get sorted out and if anyone was even attempting to sort it out. I really truly fucking love Streamate, it's the best site I've ever worked on and will work on forever if I had it my way, but that response...It really fucking stung. :-(

Today apparently I didnt have glitches but there wasnt traffic in my room. So doesnt matter if Im having issues with the platform because with the zero traffic that I have to deal with, is enough. I know the more money u make on SM this week, highest the bonus u will get...But with no people comming to my room is difficult to hit my goal, then if one day I make good money and the next two dont, is like compensating the bad days with the good one, the bonus would not be exactly a bonus, in numbers, it will be just the amount of money that I make normally. So Make your conclusions :/

^^^ Nice to have a place to vent about SM issues, right?
That's why i created this thread cause i felt people will need it :)
Soo many of us here work SM and we deal with a lot of ish on that site.
Relieved i am not alone in this, SM is terrible for me right now business wise, this on top of the payment issue, it's really heart painful :(
Good luck everyone xx

Are you set up to only receive notifications for venting threads? Unless thats all you want to see you can adjust that on your page and try posting in other threads than can help with hustle tips.

so on top of everything weird in SM land this week, I just had 50 "new" comments show up. Like from 6 months ago...Most were from my regs but some were random guys I did one show with 3 months ago. I noticed my comment count jumping around and at first I thought it was people refavoriting me or reactivating their accounts, but I know for sure two of them have never left me. Just odd.

On your Sm profile? I wonder if that’s why many of us haven’t had new comments in months!? I’m a little afraid to look tbh

That sounds better than worry all the time, those cheapos have the power to ruin u even more with those ratings.
And it would be fair anyway. The ones who don t pay are not allowed to do as much as members, who actually do something useful.
There are so lame, head hurting issues on Jasmin as well. For example, u can t even bann a member permamently, no matter what.

Quite true. No ratings would be much better than having to worry about that bs all the time. Why should SM allow members to sabotage any model's potential income? It's wrong! If guys don't like the show, no one's holding a gun to their head - just get the fuck out... and those idiots who spend just a minute or so are the ones causing the trouble. I used to email support to have ratings removed. So few customers rate these days I no longer bother. My income potential on SM is already rock bottom. Last week I had a rare half decent week, now with the bonus offer I can't make money. From 2 days work I've scored a massive $9 bonus. I've started scouting for alternative sites to work on as it feels SM is in a death spiral. Perhaps they've been shouting out the no-meet-in-person rules too loudly and now many customers are moving on to other sites which don't police this as strictly.

New Temporary MasterCard

This process can take up to 10 business days
Hopefully I'll receive that in the mail within a month.

There will also be a chance to earn a bonus gift for streaming during the week. Our May Day contest this year will run for a full week from April 29-May 5 (GMT)..."

I don't know what is going on, I'm not a first page model to have huge traffic but I would normally get some. Well, I had to log off because I was sitting in an empty room. I guess I'm going to focus more on AW for the rest of this week and next week and give SM a break, at least there I am making more than peanuts.

I am making no money this week, which means I'm also not making them any money this week, and I see its the same for a ton of other girls......this shit fucking sucks. And SM's complete lack of transparency makes it even shittier.

THIS IS EXACTLY IT!!! They use these contests to get models to log on to make money for them. This is a clear indication on how poorly the site is doing. Back to back contests? Come on, SM. Fix your fucking site and perhaps offer us more than just 35% so that we can charge a little less. They have their heads so far up their asses. It's infuriating.

hello dahlia. I totally agree with u. SM is not being transparent, why?First of all, Can someone explain why on monday I made money, tuesday Zero! And with traffic limited, then on wednesday I made just a lil, but wasnt to shitty, then today thursday, 8dollars, ugggg, and on top of that, I was getting traffic the first 30 mmts then bam! The usual fcking disconection, zero people, zero all! Is just strange. Ofc, for sm is not convenient to give 20% on top of our earnings, im just giving my point of view. I cant deal with that.

My pattern EXACTLY. I made goal on Monday, zero on Tuesday, 3/4 the way to goal yesterday, $0 today......thats crazy, just reaffirms my suspicions that its not just me. Its SM.

Quick payment question. How long does it usually take to get a check in the mail? I had to change my payment option from Firstchoice to check, but I haven't received last week's pay yet. Is that normal?
And yeah, this week has sucked for me too.

you are not alone and definitely not the only one. the thing is, you see how it is when girls share their theories or comparisons on here they get called overly negative or a troll, which is why many just keep their thoughts to themselves in regards to this. now, i know many who besides me have been witnessing for a few years now things get worse and worse and worse. BUT, if this time next year those of us who see and realize things are still around, we can't complain. more and more days are like beating a dead horse. they know most girls will never quit because they don't realize their worth and no matter how bad it gets will stick it out and log in again and again for years to come. it's important to have more than 1 egg in our basket because at anytime without warning a site can get shut down or a new law can get passed. it took me a long time to put my pride and ego to the side and realize how important it is to learn new skill sets. i'm not taking jabs at anyone when i say these things either, speaking from the heart. i don't want to be 40, 50, 60, 70+ stuck making peanuts cause i stuck with a site/industry that didn't care about me. it's not going to get better, it's going to stay 'like this' or probably get worse. these cam sites are a revolving door and we are pieces in a chess game. i'm sure placement, just like contests are ummmm.. you know (insert that frowned upon word here). politics are involved in everything... Hollywood...porn ..... real estate. etc. ALL cam sites have their favorites who they will make sure always make their money and has tons of traffic, those are show ponies, the rest, are just bottom feeders. sorry, but it's true. with love, PH
