Yeah traffic was mad slow for the first bit and then a few of my regs came through and for their normal amount of time to so that made up for the past couple nights. Traffic has pretty much come to a halt as of now though, so i think im giving it like fifteen more minutes and i might stick a dick in tonight and call her done.

I've spent 13 hrs on streamate this week and made $8... can't believe I'm even admitting that. I did well the last 2 wks and I've really been putting my heart and soul into camming. it's really hard not to get discouraged tho. like wtf happened....? I've never read of any girl on here making less $ per hour than I did this week. I know its a slow time of year and all, but damn.

I know what how you feel about the discouragement :( I made bank sunday and then literally nothing but shitty dead nights monday tuesday and wednesday so i straight took last night off. (i made i think 35 dollars at the most all the days with a total of 16 hours in it.) But tonight was actually good for me. Just think of all the nights you pull bank! thats what i do, and just cross my fingers, get fine as fuck, and hope i pull it. Hope things look better for you soon <3

Has anyone ever had this issue? Since December, I've noticed no matter how many hours I work my Time Online under rankings keeps going down. I've taken no more than a week off during Xmas and New Years and still! My hours steadily drop. I've gone from 120 hours to 68 in one month.

I tallied up my hours for the last 30 days and I'm upwards of 85hrs but my time online states BELOW AVERAGE 68. I lose about 6-10 hours A DAY no matter how long I work and wait for the report to refresh.

My placement is taking a dive and I emailed support 1 month ago but never heard back.

Has anyone ever encountered this? Where the fug are my missing 20+ hours?!

What is 'streamgate'?

When the site went down in July for half a day then shit wasn't right after. SM won't tell anyone what happened.

MistressX
01-09-2016, 08:02 PM
That shit wasnt right for a couple months prior and after. And personally I dont think its ever gone back to 100% "normal".

Streamate was just so gitchy for me today. I managed to make 150 or so in a couple hours before the pay period ended but after that there was just nothing but freeloaders and "open chest" type guys. I'm just going to call it a night and order out to make myself feel better lol

What is 'streamgate'?

Streamgate started in late June with minor yet annoying little glitches...as soon as the 720 encoder settings were first mentioned and tested. Starting around page 779 on the Streamate Thread. Along with all the girls having concerns about the new settings (so much so Vanessa had to post to calm the nerves) the glitches got worse by the day it seemed... It slowly escalated to an entire WEEK of massive glitches starting on Friday August 14. It was a horrible week. To those who worked during it, it will be remembered as A week that shall live in infamy. That prompted Streamate to offer a bonus to all models who endured it. It continued even after the bonus but has slowly somewhat returned to normal. AND.... We wish never to speak of it again

If you have any clip stores where you sell videos, ManyVids or C4S or whatever, you can always start an hour gold show and record the video while you're in the show. You can put it in the description that you're making content and they get an exclusive preview, and that way you're making something you can sell. People always buy in, and worst case, they don't and you still have new content for your stores and you've got an hour of paid time which will help your placement, and give you a better shot at being seen by a new dude that wants to take you private. You can, if you haven't already, turn your TV option on. That's usually good for at least 1 show a day, and you get paid no matter what. I think the lowest goal I've ever seen for one was $50, so there's another $17 in your pocket.

Hell. It was fucking hell. A lot of models ended up quitting too.
Glitch fest for two months from July to September. August was the worse. Getting disconnected (site end), laggy streams, privates not connecting, traffic leaving because of the glitches, and my favorite giving us a bonus week while the worse was still going on as an incentive to work through the shit fest.

It wasn't handled well. Any time we'd complain to support about it, they'd tell us it is our end and wouldn't look into it further. Thus we dubbed it Streamgate.

Yes that month was awful. I had major anxiety because I just moved into my own first new apartment on aug 1st, and had to spend a shit ton of money on furniture, kitchen appliances, housewares etc.
July-Sept on SM felt like the end of the world for me.

Who came up with the streamgate term?

Not entirely true. I've had the TV option available and turned on since September, and I've been offered a total of 2 shows. I generally appear between rows 3 and 7.. and I am online about 30-35 hours per week on SM. SM does not offer TV shows to all model types as consistently as others.

Yeah, SO not true. I'm depressed over it. I got one offer in December of 2014! I had a couple of messages pop up in March, April and May stating that my settings were not proper for a broadcast (mind you, my rep set them). I emailed Liz and she said that she talked to producers. They said that they were being "specific" about models, but that they have me in queue. That really fucking hurt. So, I took that as I'm not good enough. Yet, I make my Gold at least 3 times a day. I opted out because I can't handle not getting chosen.

Do you have geoblocking enabled? If so you aren't eligible for TV gold shows even if you opt in.

MistressX
01-12-2016, 12:14 AM
It says on their tv broadcast thing that if you geo block that you will still be eligible but the geo blocks will not have any effect. Maybe I read it wrong? Meh. I dont mind anyway

It's so silent tonight >.< spent 62% in paid yesterday and sweating through making it to $200 right now. Trying! Omg! And high gold tiller counter was not working at all last night. Major bummer for my high tippers but it made them keep tossing money in bc they had no concept of how much they were spending. I stay positive and my miracle of the night will happen. In the meantime smiling through the weirdness. My placement is all over the place as well

Now that I am fully addicted to using the SM broadcaster it is having issues. It absolutely insists on running the highest setting quality, which my laptop at the moment absolutely cannot support. So I have huge lag and glitches. Before it would figure out within a few seconds that my crappy laptop only runs on the medium settings and I would have a smooth night. I need to upgrade this laptop stat! But in the meantime I just want to vent about what a wonky experience the encoder is after getting used to the broadcaster.
