Well, I have searched for the past 30 min on SM and cannot find it. A long time ago when SM had SM TV and then the Topspot GS, you had to opt-in or opt-out of marketing. It is gone. I do not do gs, so I am assuming the topspot is now gone too? I know the sm tv is gone.

I did notice in the performer agreement, you are automatically opted into marketing.

I know I am not loosing my mind, there used to be a place to check it on or off. It has been too long since I cared.

You're not losing your mind. lol They did away with TV and topspot shows altogether.

Quote from SM geo option:

"Geographic blocking will remove you from the sort and searches of non-logged in members. Additionally, any advertising or additional exposure of your profile will also be disabled. If you restrict ANY geographic location (not just your own) - you will not be available in the site search results or similar models for logged out users and members in the restricted area. This will impact the volume of users in your room as less people will be able to find you, and may impact your earning potential."

That was not what I was talking about. Carmen knows what I was talking about, it is no longer a thing and I was not aware.

Side note on the geoblock..... white labels have gotten around this. This have been verified by other models as well as myself. Maybe it has changed now, I tested back around 2012/13, but I will never trust it again. So, I sucked it up and turned it off and stopped lying about my cam work.

I know what you're talking about, TV shows. They used to have a contract with a small live sex channel. Can't remember the name of it. That was over 5-6 years ago. Then maybe a couple of years ago they rebranded into Top Spot, without being broadcasted on that channel anymore. They kept the same rules and everything.

What I was saying, TV shows or whatever you want to call them, had no connection with being advertised. You could perform them even if you had geo block on (so ads off and affiliates off). So marketing didn't equal TV shows.

Yes, we might had some exposure from there (if girls cared to mention their cam name), but that was all. Doing TVs didn't give no one extra ads, just guaranteed money and promoting yourself on TV (while they still had that contract).

Edit: That was actually one of the reason why they gave up TV shows. They said, girls with geoblock couldn't be protected the right way, because they had no control where the show was broadcasted (location).
If you ask me, TV shows stopped being productive for SM. They were losing more than winning. Girls got used to that guaranteed goal and stopped pushing for more.

^^^ To email them because a guy had connection issues?!
This happens all the time, guys have shitty internet either on mobile or desktops, u can never know what their problem is.
I would say email them regarding important issues when u really need their help otherwise they'll ignore u if u bother them too much with this kind of issues.
I very rarely contact them unless i have an issue with my account. Just saying.

Agreed there are a bunch of things that can happen on a guy's end to cause that error message to show up. For me when it happens it's usually because they hit their limit.

I cannot get my cam to connect with SMC. I was about to start streaming about an hour ago, and my cam loaded but then went out before I could click to go online. Tried restarting, everything. I'm using a Logitech c920, it's working fine with the Logitech app, so the cam is definitely not broken.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Also my cam is loading on the classic streaming page, but I have not tried with SMB c2c because that app always crashes my computer. Going to send in a bug report to support anyway, but curious if anyone else is having this issue.

Ladies, I haven't been camming for a while... Is anybody streaming on a classic streaming page using a FMLE encoder or its mostly SMconnect or a SMBroadcast? I have tried SMconnect today but it just seems so complicated. Maybe I am not used to it yet. If you are streaming without using a SMconnect or a SMBroadcast does it affect your placement? thank you!

For me when a guy hits their limit it specifically says "user must contact support" -- it's different than "user connection issue" which usually does have to do with their internet or just a widespread SM glitch. The "connection issue" message never correlates with a guys spending limit, in my experience.

Not using those option will put you on page 8-9 or even worse to matter anymore. Some people might get into your room, bust mostly regulars or guys who have favorite you.

I would recommend using Smbroadcaster if SmConnect seems too much.

Chica
07-02-2019, 08:11 AM
Thank you, euro_princess! I am just so bad with technical things unfortunately. I guess I will try to get used to a SmConnect otherwise its not worth it to be on page 9 streaming the old way.
For those of you using SmBroadcast are you still getting a good placement? And also with SmConnect you using a Web encoder? When I do this my picture looks so weird. I am probably doing something wrong:((((((((( I watched the tutorial but didn't seem to find answers to all of the questions:(

I can't get smbroad set to even work! Smconnect gives ok video but audio is choppy and sucks so I have to use file. No other choice. I guess my laptop is too old and I need to upgrade. I have gigabit internet and it's screaming fast and logitechc90 cam. Kill me now

@ Chica:

I use sm connect, but not the encoder. Idk about placement, but I do get better traffice w/it.
I got annoyed a bit, cause no phone feature, but Glam graciously told me, that you can ask the customers to turn their cam on (c2c)

Im on a wifi conn rn, but soon I'm going to get a wifi extender

Hth a little, good luck! :)

Aw.
I got a decent Lenovo refurb, I7 2.80 gHz from http://www.newegg.com I think I paid around 300.00 free shipping too.
I get all my stuff from there, my phones too.

Good luck!

You don't need to set nothing in Connect. It should pick up your best specs. Post a screenshot here, maybe we can help you in real time.

As for the picture, if you want to make it bigger, click right and select "picture in picture" and then, that frame with your streaming is going to pop on your screen and you can resize it and drag it how you want it.

If you use SMB C2C, you get priority placement. I'm on page 1 with it.

Fyi - I noticed the "average $/hr" on the new earnings report has been properly fixed/updated. I went back several weeks and it was accurate. Nice to see that info. (Eta: also, Im pretty sure the "desktop/mobile" section refers to if we were streaming from a computer or a mobile device, not what kind of device the customer spent on. "Other" seems to refer to cammodel referral money and offline tips. I think I saw a few people wondering about that a few pages back.)

What I don't see, however, are the bonuses from last week's contest anywhere. They usually get added to the "pay adjustment" tab by now but I haven't seen it. I'll check the payment history page later tonight to see if the bonuses got mailed out on this weeks check. (Hope so, I was budgeting for that.)

That is not accurate in my case cause all the shows i am doing are from desktop but it shows Mobile.
Not a single desktop show appears in any day/ week so i dont know, maybe that info is 'work in progress' still...

I had so many connection issues with SMBroadcast I switched to SMConnect and that seemed to fix my issues. I hate it that it doesn't have phone :(

Weird things are happening though. It shows nobody in my room but then guys would start typing (usually trolls insulting me) and I could not ban them because they don't show up in my room - their typing just appears.

Who are these guys and why can't we ban them?
