I have no idea. However it was spring break for allot of school age kids, so that might be why. I was on last night (sat) and made $12 in 90 mins. I logged off and went to bed. This morning wasn't much better. However it is Easter so i'm hoping tonight is a bit better.
You know, almost all my shifts start out super slow like the first 90 min nothing, but I stick to my 8 hr shift taking breaks when necessary then GTFO. I make goal this way.
I KNOW how boring it can be. Sometimes after an hr of nothing I meditate or make tea, but I always get back on.
I hope that helps :)

SM connect seems to be garbage.. I only started using it cuz they threatened our placement now with it!... but holy fuck.. the navigating from all to a certain guest.. and no real distinction between pvt, exclusive or free chat is causing me stress.. I hope someone suggested something else to them .. like seriously.. I have to really pay attention to know what's going on these days!

Hello :) SM adviced us to use: Neon app, SMbroadcaster C2C Beta or SMConnect to get a better placement so is not only SMconnect. I personally use SMbroadcaster c2c cuz works well for me and still make money. :)

I was using FMLE the whole time , which frankly I thought was the best.. when all the girls were having trouble with all the other apps.. I never did.. Everything was great pretty much all the time.. I used to have SM broadcaster on my PC and now I don't know where to find it again.

8 hours!!! You go girl!!! After two hours with slow/no shows, I need to move on. It not good for me (mentally) to just sit there and stare at myself. I work mornings, afternoon and nights 2 hours each time if its busy I will stay longer. I hope this week is a bit better.

That is smart. I have to stream a day schedule for my mental health. I'm usually done by six, eat dinner, watch comedy then at 8:30pm lights out to prepare for sleep.
Believe me, if I could stream part day then part night I would. That large gap between shifts would be so nice.
I hear you.
I hope things pick up for you. Sending good vibes.

Same here if I do daytime starting in the morning til 5 or 6pm.. I seem to be able to handle longer hours with a breeze.

^^Right. If I want to pull 10 I can & still follow my circadian rhythm. It's intuitive for me. I'm getting back into training again just before my shift. It's a good schedule & I still make money this way.

I got my first negative tags because I kicked 2 people from my room who were spamming and according to them, I'm toxic and I lie about shows among other things. LOL whatever I just blocked those tags.
Does it show in the customer's side of the room when you kick somebody? And is a kick temporary or permanent?

When you kick, it will tell them they're being booted and still can come back in. Block is permanent.

Okay. Is there a way to stop invisible users? Or what is the best way to deal with those? Type to them specifically? Everybody who isn't invisible gets confused when I answer an invisible guest

Not that I'm aware of. The guys will be fine. Don't worry about them. Some of my best & longest shows are with invisibles.

Another fucking contest? WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON? Is SM just not non stop 'contests' now. Fuck, just go ahead and give the money to the front page girls and tell the rest of us to fuck off then.

I'm sick of the one or two day contests. The prizes for most of the ranks are stupidly low in comparison to what you actually have to make in order to rank in the first place. It's not worth hustling to make $500+ in two days, and dealing with inevitable glitches and lack of traffic, for a measly $50 bonus.
If SM is going to be so contest-heavy, I would so much prefer they just do a once a month week-long contest with solid prizes, and bonuses for anyone putting in 25+ hours.
Ugh.

I always end up working 1/2 the days in these 2 day contests. So I would have to work on one of my scheduled days of to place where I would like. The prizes they are giving are not incentive enough to fuck up my schedule. I value my sanity too much for $250 extra bucks

I just can't even. Seriously, WTF is with the back to back contests all the time. They used to do contests for holidays and sometimes a random contest here and there, not every fucking week.

I’m doing some hard comparing myself to others since I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone and trying new things. I need to stop. It’s tough seeing people sell clip after clip when I’ve been averaging one or two sales a day and scraping by. Somethings gotta give. What the hell is it though?

You know if they didnt run these contests they could pay us more. I'm sure girls would prefer that over this trash. Ugh and I'm irritated I had to switch from the connect to the broadcaster cause the connect was giving me streaming issues. But once I did that, it seemed like my room has been dead. Two hours in so far and zero made.

04-23-2019, 04:42 AM
Yeah I wish instead of contests they'd just add 5% if we did 10+ hours and 10 or 15% if we did anything over 20. I'd be more inclined to put in more hours on there if that were the case. plus they almost always run these darn things when i'm on my period. ugh!

Argghhh! have they gotten rid of the option to choose the stream you're using on SMConnect? I used to see it under the settings tab but it's not there. The streamer is putting me at 1920/1080 and my computer can handle it somewhat but there is lag once in awhile so I"d like to put it at 1080/720.
Anyone know how to do it or does SMConnect just put you at the one it thinks you can handle?

Can we no longer pick from the drop down menu what we want to stream in? I dont want to use the broadcaster (it keeps freezing me) or the connect as it keeps pixelating me. I want to just do the old fashioned drop down HD wide but it wont allow me.

Fuck me sideways, I totally agree with you. I'm a big fan of contests, but when they are actually worth it. Those 2 days are not my type of hustle, prizes are too little and you have to hammer your body with long hours (2 days on a row, 12h-15h daily, at least) and make your brain mushy after so much sexual interaction.
Don't get me started on the ridiculous $$$ you have to make in order to place top 10. We're talking a lot, a shit ton of money. For what? Getting less than a day of work as a prize? Neah, I'm good.
At least, with the 1 week contests, you can pick your days, you get a little bonus and a few hundreds (or more) for your hard work. That's when I hustle. I see my prize as having a higher commission in the end, cause it's extra, so it's like SM is giving me more for my part.
They are running back to back contests because of Easter. Last week was the Catholic one, this Sunday is the Orthodox one (Eastern girls) and then some Europeans have 1 May as a public holiday (Labor Day). So SM is expecting less money to be made during holidays, therefore, contests on and on. Let's exploit those models and their egos (YES, I said it, some models compete for the placement, not necessarily the money).

@ streamate management get rid of the contests and make it an extra 10% our cut if you want models to work more :P

Does anyone know if there's a way to change your stream resolution with SMConnect? It keeps putting me at the highest with no other option and that makes my stream have a lag and freeze at times. I want to use Connect because for some reason my camera looks better with it.

Hi. Ive checked around but for me is not possible to change the resolution, is put by default. The only way I see to change settings in SMconnect and stuff is using external encoder and change it there. Obs for example. But, I'm not sure if now they allow C2C now while using OBS. That's why I don't use it cuz a lot of members ask me to turn on their cams but is anoying when is not working.

The option to select your resolution is no longer available because SMConnect has been optimized to automatically select the best resolution based on your connection and equipment. When you see the performance drop, that is likely due to your connection.
Please use these instructions to fix the problem with SMConnect:
1. Make sure to connect directly to your network via an internet cable plugged into your machine (instead of connecting wirelessly).
2. Make sure you are using the latest version of Google Chrome to stream.
3. Clear your cookies, cache, and browser history.
4. Close all applications and turn off your machine. Then power off your modem and router (if you are using one) to restart the network. Check that your cables are plugged in tightly, then restart your machine and try again. When streaming, do not use any programs not needed to stream.
If you are still unable to use SMConnect, please send a screenshot of what you are seeing on SMConnect. For assistance with taking screenshots, please go to this Streamate Help page:

Its BS and I should be allowed to choose. I do not want it to automatically choose it for me. Why do they even ask us to reach out to them? They never listen to us and our feedback. They do what they want and make us think our thoughts matter. When they dont.

Completely agree with you.
I find it odd that it shows my bit rate and RTT as being green but next to stream health it's a yellow dot which I'm pretty sure means the stream is mediocre.

this site is filled with fuck+n douchebags i just had a 150 tip and a long private from someone who thinks i'm actually meeting him! wtf? after the pvt and tip he was like, when will i pick you up at the airport? WTF lol at least i got his money, sadly this guys are being lied to from affiliates and that sucks cause i get exited thinking i got a whale and a nice regular.
then another freaking asshole demanding a $2 gold show or he wont pay?
then again another asshole giving me a 3 star rating cause my private chat was crowded and could not respond to his demand knowing he was the last to get in?
freaking brainless fucks ugh

Same here!!!! And all they can do is copy and paste a response to my emails to them and tell me to send screenshots. Why?!?! You know exactly what I'm talking about because its happening to almost everyone!!!! And you wont acknowledge it or fix it. Instead its ALWAYS our fault.
I also asked why I cant stream anymore from their drop down like we used to be able to and they never ever answer me. I'm assuming they disabled that option for girls so they are forced to only use the connect now.
