I see that only potential members have no problems.

Sometimes I have same feeling lol When guys jumping in and out of chat without a word or typing smt like "Can't see you sorry brb" but 15-25 potentials stay in room almost without changing a number. And I'm sitting there and thinking "Um seems like only freeloaders gonna watch me, is there anyone with money? Comon give it all to me!"

Thank you for putting things in perspective. I'll be positive from here on out.

Hope those in his wake are spared & death toll low.

lm being bitchy over fed ex lol damn 30.00 delivery fee... see if he works like Santa clause. Dear god I hope so. The fed ex is less than a mile from me. We literally have no delivery structure and the only thing getting my mail not stolen or eaten by my dog is being super nice to him.
I have ptsd from last year going over a month w no pay due to a storm.
Im being super bitchy feeling about pay.


Do any US models use the new deposit they introduced? Life as a camgirl is easier when all money is deposited into a account, for me it is as I can easily go into hotels lol WITH MONEY.

Logged on, first time in, 6 months. It's slow, but I wait. I get a show, (yay!) tease a little, get undressed, and, disconnected. I'm hardwired with 100down and 10up, so it's definitely on SM's end.

I'm going to go sit on MFC instead as I haven't had a single other person say a word in the past 30 minutes, and the customer in the show didn't return.

This week has been so rough for me, I’ve done well enough in the past to make my rent and whatnot, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to this month because of how slow it’s been recently. This is my first year camming, I started in January, should I be worried or does it pick up again soon? I just want to stop feeling so anxious :/

Summer is usually slower but it can really depends on the individual. All that matters is if camming picks up/is worth it for YOU. In this industry you really have to save because camming paycheck to paycheck is so terrible and guys can pick up on any desperation and it just snowballs downhill from there (ask me how I know lol) :)

I seemed to have had several audio issues tonight -- multiple guys telling me I got the dreaded screech/high pitched noise in free chat, multiple times.

There were also two times when a message popped up saying I was having audio issues, though it didn't happen when the guys said there was a screech. So I'm not sure what that was about.

Also had a new guy that could not stay in exclusive. He kept coming back and the poor guy tried four different times, with and without cam to cam (he was actually super cute and nice, too -- I legitimately wanted to do a show with him, lol). He would stay for like a minute tops and then it had the "user left, reason unknown" error. He said it just kept booting him out. I'm not sure if that was on his end or SM because I had two other exclusives that went fine.

He's in the Carolinas, and is reporting the ' real weather'.
I say real, because weather is being manipulated.
I've been aware of it, since the California wildfires happened last year.
I knew something wasn't right.
If anyone wants proof, just Google Harvard University admitting to having done geoengineering to ' steer' the weather.
The west coast is a target too.

I just logged all hours & earnings for 2019 in a document. To my surprise I have doubled my income streaming the same hours as when I first started full time. This has relieved a lot of anxiety.

Have you seen your growth? Are you progressing? Month by month, if you put in the same hrs, it tends to even out. One bad week can be equalized by one good week.

Take a look over your monthly progress. I'm certain you'll see a pattern emerge. This week has been slow for me too, but based on numbers I'm certain I'll be just fine. I think you will too.

I believe it and proof isn't even needed. Alot of these things are common sense, imo. If the government (and the human brain/intelligence) can figure out how to create diseases, space ships, atomic bombs, artificial intelligence, etc then they can figure out how to manipulate the weather. I know there will be people that think; we're crazy, that we wear tinfoil hats and are on the conspiracy bandwagon but the thought of the govt manipulating the weather really isn't that far fetched once you think about all of the scientific things and technologies that have been found or created throughout time...especially within the 21st century.

Right now i cam in survival mode, from all the 18 years i am on cam i figured august to be the most difficult/ slow month so before it gets better it'll get unbearable and every year is getting harder than the previous one.

I did 3 hrs night/early morning & I had no good traffic. It was just as slow as my regular afternoons. I was so frustrated I logged off to try & get sleep. Couldn't get any real sleep because of my frustration levels. I need to stream 8 hrs to reach hrs goal & I'm dreading it.

I've done the math & if I just put in the hrs I'll be ok, but my mood lately is so bad. I've lost all my patience.

Does anyone have any advice to help me get back in the game?

Thank You.
I'm so happy that you see it too.
I never meant to go down the rabbit hole as far as I did.
I was just trying to research why both parents died of Alzeimers. And why so many people are dying from cancer.
Combine the timing of that with keeping track of the fires that were overrunning California.
I discovered the real truth.
I know this isn't a thread about the "Truthers" community.
But, imo everything is related.
Lots of things trickle down to camming, and really does affect it.
Plus, I follow a channel that shows what the weather will be like 14 days in advance.
He's never been wrong.
It gives me peace of mind.

Great advice from Marina Starr. I myself haven't been good at all in the last few days, was not able to work too much because period, bad mood, virus brought by kiddo from school, sm contest, freeloaders and and desperation, all in a vicious cicle lol. I am now feeling better, took more cold meds, took a shower, put on makeup and a big smile and got on. Who knows what will happen, at least I made it, I am here and I will do my shift. We can do this!!

I don't have any advice but I want to say that I feel you. I lost all of my patience through my last two shifts. Week starts great and then by wednesday ,poof, all my traffic is gone. To hell.

It's getting to the point of pulling teeth EVERY day now. I noticed there were only around 1300 models on today, too. At least when I was on. Still terrible even with that.
