But you were offered an apology and you both made up I thought? So why keep going back to it?
Actually we did, and I wasn’t throwing shade or even referring to her. I’m reffering to the history of things being that way. I was always referencing the fact that so many think it’s “just them” when in reality it’s not it’s just a bulk of models I’m sure choose to not complain in fear of being called those things. Sorry if I wasn’t clear :)

What's up with Streamate this week? I was logging two hours a few nights per week and usually I'd make like $40-100 in that time, but this week I've only made $70 total. I've been logged in for 7 minutes and only had one single person come into my room. It's a really drastic drop and I'm not normally one to be like SM sucks this SM sucks that because it's being going well for me so I just find this sudden drop quite disconcerting.

There's issues this week.
I've had members on mobile tell me they can't give gold. I've seen a huge increase in "user connection error" and "user disconnected reason: unknown" this week. A ton of C2C issues, members randomly getting booted from shows, etc. Yesterday during a gold show with about 20 people in it more than half of them were leaving and coming back constantly, so it was obvious they were refreshing because of some sort of issue. I've had people apologize for popping in and out of my room but they're "having issues getting it to load". I'm also having weird lulls in traffic that are really abnormal. I'm in the top row and one minute I'll have a normal room count and the next it will drop down to 1 person with minutes before anyone else enters and when they do they just leave immediately. Sometimes it's like this for 15-20 minutes where I can't get a soul in my room, and then all of a sudden it will be normal again.
They're fucking with something, that's for sure, and judging by the contest they put up next week they're having a hard time fixing whatever it is. The site isn't totally fucked, but it has been really testing my patience.

I use the browser chat interface and there hasn't been any trouble with connections. My problem has been a huge drop off in paying customers. Saturday last week was good. Sunday, when the bonus week started, business was virtually non-existent. Over 2 days of work, Sunday and Tuesday, I've accumated a bonus of $10.
OMG i got my SM money on my Cosmo account today and just pulled them out at ATM, soo happy about it!
I need to wait for the transaction to update on Cosmo page to see what they charge as fees, see what they list in there.
Happy dance here, wow, soo relieved after waiting for soo long pheww!!
Hi everyone, good news here, i quoted myself from the Cosmo thread :)
The thing is, SM loaded my cosmo account with the amount i was supposed to get last friday, they are behind with one payment for last week that i was expected to get today but this is still good, hope they get back to normal schedule soon as they announced us.
There was no email informing me i got money in my Cosmo account, after a short nap here i woke up and saw my money in there simply, the sender is listed as "Credit STR Cosmo Payment and my unique transfer number" then it shows the amount. No other details, no clickable links, nothing else for now. Pretty simple interface and basic info showing.
I am happy now that i got my money, ty for this SM :) :) :)
ETA: after a short while i got my second SM payment in my cosmo account, the one that was due today, wow, very happy about it, yay!

ANOTHER CONTEST WEEK? THIS IS RIDICULOUS & EXCESSIVE!!
I was looking forward for this week to end so i can start making money again and now this?!
Fuck it SM, u are a disappointment, seriously now!
You have got to be kidding me! I just can't and yet I have no choice. They used to only have contests on like holidays and stuff like that. I have yet to place in a contest. I've only even made the top 500 once. Granted I don't work any more hours than I normally do and I know some of the models who win are on for a crazy amount of time. Yet it still kind of stings to know that more than 500 people did better than you.

Other places have contest but SM is the only site I know of that is active.

I also would think "kill me if I am doing this at 40, i don't want to be like her" lol "I have goals"

streamate from 2009-current ....
2015 and part 2016 beng my absolute worse years bc I was going through changes. I don't handle big changes to well.
what are the issues you guys speak of?
Tech?
model support?
customers not spending money?
contests?
zero goldshows?
free chat nudity?
Sounds like cam armageddon for some of you guys.

Damn i thought i was the only one!! I just joined just to vent to u all!!! Joined streamate in nov 2014!! I had so much success!! Made so much money!!! It was amazing!!! This year has been so awful!! Im in tears!!! Ive joined other sites like chaturbate, cam soda, & just joined mfc cuz im so sick of streamate!!! Im starting to hate them!! I just logged off!! Im in tears!!! The traffic is so bad!!! When it never use to be like this!! Fridays use to be awesome!!! I'm devastated!!! Crying!!! Cuz its so frusterating!!! I think the private based era is over!!! Thats why mfc, chaturbate, camsoda, & cam4 is doing so much better than streamate!!! Public based sites are the knew era now!! Camsoda came recently & just blew streamate out of the water!!! Wow!!! Anyway!! I'm pissed!! Not at the customers but the site!!! They need to do something!!!
I'm ready to email them & cuss them out!!! Lol but i'm gonna leave gracefully.. They will realize one day when they are doing as bad as ifriends... Lol anyway i wana hug u girls and tell u that u r not alone... I wish i can cry on ur guys shoulder & tell u its happening to me too... Bcuz its so devastating... To go from making hundreds of dollars daily having so much fun with our clients to making basically nothing & the site having no traffic whatsoever is heartbreaking!!! Streamate is the first site i joined so thats why i am speaking like this!! Thank goodness i have chaturbate & camsoda to fall back on as things are great there!!! Just joined mfc so we will see how that goes!! I'm pretty sure good as i joined before in 2015 with lots of success but deleted my account cuz i was having so much success on streamate already & wanted to focus on streamate more...
Ahhhhh... I could barely do a facetime private earlier cuz i was already in tears from streamate.. But put my happy face on cuz im grateful i have my snapchat, facetime, youtube, onlyfan, chaturbate, camsoda, skype, & xvideo clients to fall back on!!! In 2017 i created all these accounts & gained new clients because that's when i saw streamate getting worse... I knew i had to make some plan b's!!! Funny cuz i knew this day would come... Nothing lasts forever is very true... Always gotta have a backup plan... & as u can read i made a lot of backup plans lol!! After going through this with streamate i aint fucking around no more!!! Sorry for long post!! First time user here!!! First post ever!!! & this makes it worth it!! Lol i had to say something!!! Streamate is like a boyfriend that im just done with!!!
I'm ready to break up with him once & for all (delete profile lol) & move on with other things full time & focus more on them!! Lol i can't take this dead shit anymore...
I don't believe the free cam sites are destroying the private business on SM. When you started on SM in 2014 (I started nearly a year ealier) you (we) were making good money, and CB, MFC and other free camsites were alive and well then too. I've worked on CB the whole time I've worked on SM and that site too has become much harder to make money on. My theory is that 30 - 35% payout is killing them. The girls have to charge too much to make money at such a low payout percentage and the high prices are killing business slowly but surely. Most free cam sites are paying out at least 50%. Anything less than 50% is greedy IMO.
We'll have to wait a few more weeks to know for sure, but perhaps a heavy hand that was brought on by FOSTA bill fears has turned off a lot of customers because the girls are more uptight. Maybe this week is slow because too many girls are logging on trying to make the 20% bonus.

today i feel so sad, i have been on SM since 2009, my only site because well.. there is were i started to make more money, so i stay there for all these years, but i feel invisible, i feel like a looser in this contest and bonus shits... i feel they take all my traffic and send it to i dont know, i see how they put new girls in the top row and im still down, working so hard to can improve that fucking placement without a good result, because i can have an entire month banking and then have 2 bad days and wow im down again, down placement, less traffic, less money... and with this contests and bonus week in a row i wanna cry... really... sorry i needed to vent about it, because i worked so hard this week and not even made what i wanted... what i needed..

Streamate was incredibly quiet last week and I am expecting the same for this week as well. Earning half the money for the same amount of hours really isn't helping morale on that site right now. Offering bonuses for hitting certain goals is like a sucker-punch to every one who is doing badly at the moment and it's true knowing 500 girls have done better than you despite you still exerting the same effort is horrible.
Add to that the garbage insulting traffic and I'm almost ready to try a token site, that's when I know it's really bad.

Maybe I was just lucky, but I worked yesterday, the day after the bonus week ended and did OK... better than usual actually. I only worked 2 days during the bonus week and it was really bad. I've never won a prize or even looked at the competitions (don't even read the messages) because I don't work enough days to have a chance. I don't see the point. I work my regular hours and do the best I can. I can't force customers to spend more, so the only thing I can do is work more hours and I wouldn't do that for a remote possibility of winning a small prize. Maybe that appeals to top models who can easily win, or new girls that still find this exciting and they work day and night to win prizes. I just work my normal 1 - 4 days a week, but never more than 4. Comparing your rank to prize winners is not worth the stress.

OMFG... like... i don't even come on this site that much these days, but things have been awful enough for me finally to have. It fucking sucks. Few weeks ago i used payoneer... no warning it closed. Had to switch to checks. Have to wait on checks to come in mail. Don't have bank account. Thank god Walmart cashes them. Come to work and its kinda slow... work all night slow slow slow... finally get hour show big tippers like a tip war each putting in 300 bucks plus the entire room joined i was going to have at least done "okay" had that been the only show of the night. Literally run entire thing busting my ass for the LAST five minutes of it to crash. Since part of tip war happened in show, i at least made 100 bucks. I came to work another night... slow slow slow.. finally get a show it crashes close to the end. By this point, i assume its my net and just take some time off. I'm tilt. I come back to work and literally can't make any money.. still. So new week starts, things are rough for my family at this point cause im not getting paid every Friday like normal already. And i start thinking well maybe someone is targeting me. I write sm a crazy email at 5 am lol. I'm unfriending camgirls on fb messenger... Then finally tonight i start looking at other feeds and how awful it is. and how fucking BAD i wish i had a customer account to tell the pixel girl who you can BARELY see, waiting waiting waiting thinking she is fine to just log off. Being so nice to every person who comes in greeting everyone not making a dollar. I'm on day 2 and cant even place top 200 cause whatever is going on is really messing with me. I've made 326 bucks yo!!! for two fucking days! I'm not used to running all these privates... fuck... for the longest i couldn't get a private even if i wanted one tonight! then thank god someone stayed as long as they did. I'm the sole provider for a family of four. THANKFULLY... i have new mfc profile set up. I worked one night on there for a few hours and did pretty good i thought. one show, 250 dollars my pocket on my first night. It was late, i left. Then i came back to sm lol. Because damn... the mfc girls are so perfect, and im nowhere near that. But if i can make that in a few hours my first night there, wtf am i dragging my ass back here for??? because im comfortable. Comfortable with what now? My smaller percentage, the tighter rules, don't fuck up you get suspended and lose ur job like THAT. I'm not making shit rn... i can't sell my video links anymore. I haven't made new ones without music. I'm so limited.... and its so hard to hustle. My hourly average has been pretty consistent for years on sm... and right now it's garbage. GARBAGE. i told my my husband to quit his fucking job last month. he pulled 700 a week. i said yo... even with me working like hardly EVERRRR my hourly average is terrific, quit. spend time with ME... let me work 25 hours a week, six figure income easy. then its been one thing after the other and im just bitching because .... fuck.. i wish he had that job right now lol.

Good Day. Just to give my humble opinion about what sexbunny said that in two days made 326$ . Oh girl trust me, that amount of money would be great for an average performer right now (like me in this case) I wish I could make the same in that short period of time and more, knowing how slow some websites are now. Actually I live in panama so thx god, here is easy to live with few bucks weekly, maybe that makes a difference with the states that people have to spend in dollars, but the point here is: to make that amount of money for some performers r n can be difficult so go girl, u are doing well compared with others. :)

How good $326 in two day is depends on how many hours she worked. I work long shifts on many sites and going is really tough at the moment. If it was just SM going downhill, I could live with that, but they're all going down.

This isn't really a vent but more needing opinions. I was off SM for a few months so I come back to 4 stars and placement on page 12. Not sure if I should stick with my account and hope I can boost my placement soon or start over. I don't mind making a new account but it could take a week or more to get it started depending on how fast they close mine and approve a new one.....sigh

Why would you consider starting over with a new account? What are the benefits? You will lose your tags, comments etc? just wondering

There really aren't any IMO. You do get put on the "new" page, but the members who intentionally browse that way are the ones looking for cheap prices, freebies, or wanna try to scam an inexperienced model. Definitely not worth it. It doesn't take long at all to get your normal placement back in my experience, I took off a few months a couple of years ago. After about 5 hours streaming I was back on the first page, and back to my normal placement after an additional week or two.

Were you getting much business when you came back on? I know there's a few different things that effect your placement but what you earn must be part of it ( I think ) and I'm not even getting many people in my room. I'm glad to hear it didn't take long for you though. Maybe I could just stick it out.

My hourly was definitely wayyyy lower than it used to be before I left when I first returned and was on the back pages. How long have you been back? It's a contest week which usually makes the site and traffic weird.

Only a couple of days...Lol...I know, I'm panicking. I immediately think "OMG! I'm on page 12! I'm never going to make money again!!" I don't mind putting in some hours for a week if it means I see my placement go back up. I just need to know that does happen.

I have had some periods not working a lot, and it also felt like i was starting over, but every time if i put in a lot of hours and keep doing it, i always got back at my old level. it suck for a while yes, but you will get back on track

Sooooo.... I have noticed something that could just be me. But, it seems as though all of the older models (35+ years old) have been placed lower down on the first page.
I used to see these girls on the top row and now they are middle of the page.
Is SM placing us lower for the 18, 19 and 20 year old models????
^^^ Good question, i am a little over 40 and my placement is way lower than it used to be for many years, dont know if its age or not....
BlueBunny
05-02-2018, 11:01 AM
I actually noticed the age thing as well about a month ago (I'm mid 30s). But I thought maybe that was a reflection of what the customers are favoring currently, perhaps even the demographics of buyers. According to pornhub's stats for last year, 61% of visitors were between the ages 18 to 34. That is a young enough segment to possibly favor younger models as well. Placement is still likely heavily based on earnings/hour, so for this shift to occur, it must mean younger models are more popular and enjoying a higher hourly income currently.

I actually know for a fact that placement is based on earnings. That was definitely the case in October when I scored myself a whale. I went to tripling my income and wound up on the first row, sometimes even being first at night.
He did cut back on his spending slightly. I'm making about $100 less every week. With that being said, there is no way that my placement could have dropped to 5th or 6th row if I'm only taking in $100 less.
Ever since they sent out that email about placement, mine dropped substantially - along with other models who are over 35.
SM needs to think really hard about this. If it is in fact an age thing, they need to realize that MILF is the number 1 watched porn on tube sites. We over 30 models can be banking for them. But instead, it seems like they are tossing us to the side like garbage. Despite the amount of years we have worked on the site, it's a huge slap in the face to us.

I think 21 is a good age for me now on cam, too young and you attract more dominant guys, who I dont like, but still young enough to be seen as ' young and playful' or a ' college girl' . 24 sounds so adult!

Under settings YOUR PROFILE - PERSONAL SETTINGS, is a category *Age (virtual). I'm 19 LOL.... and I've been camming for 12 years.
I have a fake age listed. I made it "believable" . I can't change it to 19 because 1) everyone knows that I'm not; and 2) I definitely don't pass for 19. LOL!!

My screen age is 34, but I am really 37. I made it to #1 ..well for a brief time yesterday, and have been mainly in the top 3 rows. Last year I jumped from 26 to 34 in 6 mos, but no one commented on it. They may have changed how placement works, I must have trashed the email about it, without reading it. I don't split cam, so I assumed I was getting high placement due to that. I guess I better stay "34".
Anyways the reason I came to this thread was just to vent about a site issue involving video. I uploaded a video twice this week, and had it rejected twice due to there being "music playing in the background". I let them know there is absolutely no music playing, and that the only thing on is the hitachi, but they still rejected it. Fair enough, I have lots of other videos I can upload, but there honestly was no music playing in the background of that video. The person who got back to me, after I explained what the sound was, said "We definitely hear music in the background". It totally freaked me out, because there is definitely none, and for 2 people ("we"??) to hear music when there is none, is super weird, but whatever. It's no big deal, just one of those things that makes me think; what the fucking fuck is going on in this world?!?

The exact same issue with video, it was my hitachi or a fan. two vids rejected
Last month I changed my age from 41 to 36. not a huge spike.
My age never affected my placement that I am aware of.
It was my money tanking and time NOT online that fucked w me.

Same here especially time NOT online primarily. I think I have good placement these days due to not split camming, and using the encoder..but it's just a theory. I guess I won't be uploading any new vids to SM all Summer then. No way I am working under those lights, without AC or a fan on, all I would have would be sweat fetish videos. I am happy that doesn't happen on any of the clip sites.

Eh, I haven't seen any placement change and my virtual age is my real age, 43. It seems like SM got rid of their "legacy placement" feature, which pretty much kept people who were high earners on the first few lines even if their earnings weren't as good as they were in the past. I think a lot of the movement is because a lot of those high earning models who were a bit older also were gold show models and since those are less popular now, their placement went down. Now its a bit more dynamic and updates more quickly. But lets not forget, what we see isn't what every customer sees, since they now have placement based on the customers interests.
After moving to Europe I've kind of stopped paying as much attention to placement since it is completely different here (check my American placement through a vpn occasionally).

I am on the third page now with my new account and its an absolute nightmare. My other acct had some kind of preferred placement and I am too bad at this job to organically earn my placement back.
If it keeps up this way I might activate my old account again. I have NO IDEA how to cam on the third page.

LOL> I still pass for 19. I actually forgot about this virtual age until it was discussed earlier on this thread... and I thought YIKES! I'm 30 now - I hope the customers can't see that. I see you need approval to make changes there, so I'll leave it where it is.

Goldshows have never been my forte. A "member" last night said that he didnt join bc he didnt see the show happening and that i never have a issue getting gold.
First of all dumb mfr.. if you wouldve tipped, you wouldve helped
second of all dumb mfr... i never hit goal
third off dumb mfr...
This is a psych method to make a model want to log off and cry but not me bc I NEVER GAVE ONE SHIT ABOUT GS.
rant over lol
