I'm never speechless. However, after seeing that,....I'm speechless. Omg :gasp::'(:'(:gasp:

I've been at 1% for two weeks. Today after 3 hours and 1 two minute private I gave up on SM and have been doing Cams & Flirtymania. When a mobile site with few English speakers and frightening low rates out performs SM there is cause for concern.

Hey guys, just wanted to show u what it means for a 'regular medium earner' like me when there is a contest going on, now u tell me what should i feel here when i go online and make nothing in 3 hrs time? No show, no tips, nothing!

I dont care about who is placing in the contest, all i care about is to make some money myself but traffic gates are closed to me every time there is a contest so what i am supposed to do here?!

This is soul crushing, i really feel defeated.
I am a 5 star model and have great equipment and all i need in order to provide quality shows but when u sit on cam for 3 hrs straight in an empty room without a single tip or show u start to doubt urself and ur ability to succeed :( :( :(

Yesterday i got back on cam after a nasty cold, i worked with running nose, eyes and a horrible cough for two days last week but then i could not anymore cause the cold was getting worse.
Feeling better by now but this week long ass contest is crushing me.

This is me too. Slogged it out all week for $250 when normally on my hourly it would be ove $400. I'm absolutely knackered in a foul mood and its making me horrible to know. Okay yes you could take contest weeks off but some of us rely on making money each week. To turn up top tech and work double for the same its soul destroying. Same for me regs in not even speaking so clearly couldn't see me. Last night frames dropping and $5 for two hours nomally bringing me $100.

Clearly something is amiss as every contest my earnings go down the pan surly its not a conincidence? Doesn't make you want to stick with the site at all.

Has anyone had problems with SMPay? I switched over to it and I know pay doesn't usually get loaded on to cards until a bit later than now but I looked in my payment history and it's not showing a payment going out. Before, with any payment method I had it always showed up in payment history at least the day before pay day.

I had my payment method changed to Paxum for this week, well before cut off day/time and I did not get paid today, even though everything was supposedly approved and ready to go. I emailed Liz and never heard back. Holly, I had an issue like yours once before, and there was a glitch in the system where payment didn't get triggered for me, but Liz was able to sort that out, so you could try emailing her about it.

They did the exact same thing last year - four single-day contests around Thanksgiving. The year before it was three single days.

None of this should really be a surprise to anyone unless you're brand new to Streamate. Just take a look at the "show more contests" tab on the contest leaderboard page, and go see what happened in years prior. Just saying, the contests are pretty consistent/predictable at this point.

You'd think they'd limit the shit to like once a month or something. Lmao. You know it's bad when my ass is actually logging into Chaturbate instead (As much as the "Pm bb"/"Skype for Paypal?" guys on there irk my nerves) AND letting the gray members talk. LOL.

^^^ This!! One year is enough to forget what they did last year regarding contests because unconsciously we wish they would stop the madness. This feels like we have more contest time than regular time on SM now. It's excessive really.

euro_princess
11-17-2018, 03:33 AM
Not to be mean or something, but I'm sure SM is looking at stats and making more by running contests and giving away prizes, than a normal week. They are a corporation, they don't give a damn about our feelings or wishes, it's all about the $$$. So we all have to find the best way around it.

And from contest to contest, competition gets tougher. I looked at my stats and last year I won bigger prizes with less money. More girls trying to catch the big fish, more girls working smarter, more girls putting more effort.

It's probably been mentioned on here at one point, but I REALLY wish SM would let us see how much money a guy has to spend.:irked:
It's so frustrating to get into a show with someone, and not know how long I could have him in there. ( Providing he doesn't get disconnected).
Lots of my customers seem to have low spending limits, ( $25). :'(
I can never rely on them to tell me. Plus, it would ruin the mood if I asked.
Ideally, every guy would get an exclusive block session at a rate of $19.99 per minute.
Obviously, that is just a pipe dream.
Or, is it?

DeepThoughts
11-17-2018, 07:07 AM
^^ Im not 100% sure about this but I think they cannot always show you how much they have to spend because the amount is taken off the CC once the show is done. Im pretty sure most of my guys are having that done. I think its only when they first start an account that they must buy a certain amount of gold and then they have a limit of 100 but once they reach a certain point the limit goes up and so do the options. I say this only cause sometimes I get guys that tell me they still owe money to SM and they cant spend more until they get it covered. But like I said its speculation.

KatM
11-17-2018, 08:51 AM
^^^ This is correct because SM is not a token site where guys need to buy tokens like on MFC so u know what they have to spend, pvt based sites work differently.
Even the gold is deducted automatically and not over a prepaid system.
That's good still cause many times they'll spend more than actually planned since they pay in real time (within daily limit), i had a whale who lessened his daily limit to minimum cause he got addicted and spent too much lol.
With prepaid system once the money runs out the show or tips stops, they have to recharge to tip or pvt again, kinda mood killer and spending awareness that way.

Thanks girl. I figured this what was going on cause I have had guys come back to me a month after their first visit and be like "I cant spend for a while cause my CC bill was 3000$" or some shit! I kind of like this system more!! Horny men are bottomless :D

I recieved pay onto my card yesterday. I'm brand new to SMPay. My problem now, though, is I don't know my PIN. I don't believe it was ever SMS messaged to me, and when I request to have a PIN reminder SMS messaged, I get nothing. I have the correct cell number set up on the Streamate Payment page side. I just sent a message to Streamate Support, so hopefully this can get sorted out. I wonder why my phone isn't receiving messages from them? I have the international code in there and everything.

11-18-2018, 01:19 AM
Heads up I have sent 3 customers this past week to support because the phone option was greyed out for them (all were on a computer and are intelligent men) Each time support said the phone system was down, once going as far to say they are redoing it. All guys either finished their show or came back for one, so no reason to bs me. I have also done several phone shows in the past week. So I have no idea what is really going on with phone, but for now I am gonna keep it off till my regular phone guys show up. I just think this is a pretty important thing to have us in the loop on...debating whether it is worth it to write to support myself.

Yep. SM is a corporation. They are not getting rid of the contests. Sometimes you just have to adapt. It only took me one time to compete in a contest to realize that I don't got time for that. I said before that I no longer pay attention to contests, I pretty much phased them out of my mind. Like I legit don't check the emails. If the subject of the SMSupport Message says contest I instantly delete the message without even opening/reading it. I am blind to these contests. I have no idea when they are I just logon. Only way I know of contests is when I see a bonus on my check because I unknowingly worked through the contest. My mind is more at peace now that I'm oblivious to these contests.

Why can they not get actual direct deposit or at least something for US hosts without us having to pay $120 a month for fedex?

it's because the contest is four parts, and they are calling it the Four Course contest, like a four course meal.

I'm sure there were models who saw that and thought "yes I'm f**king hungry because I can't afford food because I don't make any damn money on your site!"

They send email digests with pictures of what is coming to your mailbox soon. It gives me peace of mind to see that my check is on the way.

Anyone else have a super glitchfest yesterday? Like literal glitches on my feed. Pixelated choppy video and weird blocks of color flashing over my stream. I was using the SMbroadcaster. I even tried a brand new webcam to be sure it wasn't the wiring or something.

I ended up going back to the Adobe encoder, where I had a ton of bit rate issues. Then I turned off the "auto adjust" feature. That seemed to help tremendously. Was smooth after that.

When using the USPS informed delivery, make sure to also notify your local post office that you are aware of this service. I had to do that after my mail carrier got lazy and stopped scanning my stuff. Since then, they never skipped a single piece of correspondence, it's like they don't give a damn until they realize the customer knows about it.
I've been getting my check on time, hope it won't change, I've heard some complaints in recent weeks.

Im just so sick of these contests....its not even about the contest itself, I could care less as there is no way I will ever place in one....it just makes the site so fucking glitchy and laggy that its almost unworkable. All I want is to be able to log on, have the site run like it is supposed to, and do my job. I havent been able to do that the past few days because this stupid contest bogs down the entire site. Just lost my first pvt of the day because my feed keeps freezing. I just want to be able to make money.
