SHOCKED I got additional compensation because I placed in the contest!
Now I have money for groceries and save food stamps for other special occasions. Thank you, Streamate!

Usually I do poorly doing contests and hate them, but it's been opposite world the past week. I did really well during contests. However, while Wednesdays are usually my worst day, it was all kinds of horrible last night. I had 17 people in my room (my record over the past three years) and I couldn't get even get a super cheap gold show started. I had trolls in my room all night complaining that I'm too fat/ugly/expensive/etc.

I just found out that you cannot see guys typing in paid chat on SM Connect if they are in invisible mode. Evidently it's a well known issue so thanks a frigging lot SM for letting me lose a ton of shows instead of sending out a message like they do with their million contests


I noticed that after I kick or block someone, I'm not able to see what anybody else types unless I refresh.

Interesting. All I have to do is click the "All" tab where it lists the members' names. If I forget and do it later, I don't see what they said until after they left, so am trying to make it a habit to click on it every now and then. I've not had any issue seeing invisible members' messages as long as I click the "All" tab, so maybe that refreshes the chat? We shouldn't have to, but perhaps it will help until they fix it.

I do this as habit now. It used to be inconvenient, but it's second nature now. I mentioned this in recent feedback on SMConnect Web Encoder.

Hi all.
So I had to upload new photo !D. Left it till the last minute and did it on Tuesday but it expired on Wednesday. It's now Friday afternoon and it's still pending review so my account has been suspended since Weds. Emailed yesterday asking them to look at it, but no response. Anyone got any idea how I can get it sorted quickly??
Thanks

Same. Its been very few trickling in now. Mostly ins and outs, no one talking. It's unbearable. It went back to normal for a bit when i switched back to the SM broadcaster but I used that today and had almost nothing. Sucks

Edit to add: My paid percentage this wee k is 11%. The worst uts ever been. I dunno wtf is going on

Yea, I am doing that today....last couple days I was in a bad head space and had to stop camming right away, since I noticed it when i saw myself. Since the office was slow at my vanilla job I am going to try their suggestions & get back to it.

Ahhh since SM announced the "New system and bs" the site is out of the place!! I was making money before they removed the ranking page etc, I only hope they fix this Cuz Im loosing money!

Yes. I'm using both SMconnect and c2cBeta and I have the priority placement, and still Zero traffic! So I don't wanna imagine how is gonna be without a boost in placement.Last nite was The sameee.

Its slow af for me too. Lucked out and got a guy in exclusive for an hour. Other than that its like a desert wasteland. I don't remember it being this slow last year when I started. Does anyone think that maybe customers are moving to other platforms than streamate?

KarinaGiselle

I'm noticing that the ones who are constantly on private shows, at least for the trans category, are the ones charging 2.99/minute or less, and I'm talking of "US models" (They're obviously using a VPN, it's too obvious).

They're either driving the prices down for everyone or it's getting so bad that they need to charge that low.

It's mental.

Oh wow! That's so low, but it shouldn't surprise me. It could be a desperation move, but also the cost of living for them is lower than for us in the US, generally. For them that is great money, but not so much us... The best you can really do is try to offer a superior product to them. Sadly some things can't really be changed, physically. If I had a dime for every time someone left the minute they saw I'm not well endowed, I'd have enough to hit my monthly goal. xD

Yeah, many times I've been thinking of getting gender confirmation surgery to simply cam as a cis girl. It's $6,000 USD here, and sometimes, it's tempting.

Then again I read this thread and think to myself "Is it really worth it?"

I don't blame you. Often feel the same. But sadly that's the whole reason they are there. Gay mean in denial....

I had a feeling the prices were being driven down. Great. Just goes to show you these guys who are our "regulars" dont really give two shits how they get off or any kind of expertise they are paying for. They just want to cum as cheaply as possible.

Though I think there is merit in girls lowering their prices in response to no traffic. I had a look on Alexa traffic ranking for streamate and its.. shocking.

AcidYellow
05-09-2019, 06:48 AM
I don't know but these 2 last days counting today, have been miserable for me, I've tried all ways of streaming they adviced to use but no people come to my room. I started to worry. Wth is going on. Ahh and I got up super early for nothing.

Honestly I'm afraid that if I got GRS then I would lose all income from trans cams, and I would also not be allowed into general women's area.

Is there a history of Streamate allowing post-op trans actresses to switch their Personal Statistics > Gender from "Transmf" to "Female"? If so I would have pursued it earlier, I just assumed that since it's greyed out now that they don't allow it to change.

One should never get SRS (Sex Reassignment Surgery)/GRS (Gender Reassignment Surgery) for the sake of making people comfortable, earning more money, social pressure or any other reasons except for one's true desire. Being Trans is not about how many surgeries or how you look. It's who you are.

And let's not shame men who like Trans women or referred to them as 'gay men in denial'. Let's not perpetuate stigmas and stereotypes. There are plenty of women that like Trans women as well. I don't see that damaging logic apply to women. There are many kinds of women as there are many kinds of men and many men desire many kinds of women. It's as simple as some people like vanilla ice cream, some like chocolate, some like vanilla and chocolate with extra caramel jizzle. It is THAT simple. PERIODTTTT.

I don't give a fuck if a man is gay if he treats me like my ass is made of gold. I would take that over what's deemed as heterosexual and being treated like shit. There are PLENTY of that.

/Rant over.

I said I *delayed* getting SRS in order to not lose my income. That's different than saying I wanna have surgery to make more money. I want (and have always wanted) surgery regardless of being a camgirl.

The grass isn't always greener. I don't know how much transwomen make on average but many of us cis girls aren't ballin out of control. Many with myself included use to easily pull in $100-$400 and more a week but now many are seriously struggling to even break $100-$400 a week. I use to easily pull in $800+ a week (all I had to do was put in the hours) but now I can't even imagine making more than $400. I legit have to put in tons of hours just to break $200-$400. I couldn't even imagine trying to reach $600 and up now, I'd probably have to put in like 60-100 hours just to make $600-$1000.

Transwomen aren't the only one's struggling to make money...its gotten harder and keeps getting harder to make money in camming. Many cis girls have quit camming or scaled it down to part-time (which I am going to do soon, camming will no longer be full-time for me it will be a hobby/side gig) because of how sucky its gotten. It's not just camming though its gotten harder to make money in the adult industry as a whole and in the online industry (youtube, ebay, esty) as well. I've read and heard content producers (fetish porn, vanilla porn, youtubers), online sellers (ebay, esty), strippers, escorts and pornstars all "complain" about how they aren't making the money they use to make, how their income keeps decreasing, how hard its become to make certain amounts of money and how they have to work 10x harder to make what they use to make.

Money is of course always an issue but to me it seems like its become more of an issue in these last few years for many people. I feel like so many people are struggling now more than ever. So many people these days seems to be making it with their head barely above water.

I've been using SMConnect Web Encoder regularly for 2 months now. I stream a day schedule from 10am-6pm US Central time and usually sit in free for about 90 minutes without a show (with the rare exception a show or two upon first logging on). I have been meeting my income goals using it. As a matter of fact, I earn more now in less hours using the platform as it places me rather high.

But it's a given I won't meet my goals unless I stream the full 8 hrs. Sometimes I hit high goal at 6 hrs however.

Hope that helps.

I'm starting to panic because in 2020 it's looking like I wont even be able to work on SM. None of the options except flash are working for me.

Would you mind sharing what type of computer system you are broadcasting from? I thought I read you had a chromebook but I can't locate the post.

It's ridiculous the money I have spent on a great gaming system which worked so well before and now I can't even hold a connection.

^^Yes, I have an Acer Chromebook 11 & a fast ISP. My set up is VERY basic. I have studio lighting which helps. I'm at the mercy of SMConnect Web Encoder so I'm adjusting to meet its capacity. My stream is so much better than Classic Flash.

I'm a Spinning Instructor. I only got into full time camming as I was overtraining & dropped my full schedule of classes. I'm still uncertain full time camming will be permanent which is why my set up is so basic, however I'm making a decent living despite it.

I have a barely midrange HP laptop and very bad internet - SMConnect works amazing for me, SMB C2C works ok but gives me less good stats

What are the specific issues do you have?
