So from what I gather that this a "Free user" I have had this situation happen and it annoyed the bejesus out of me. I screenshot the issue to support and made the recommendation that they give us the ability to kick and block free users out of our rooms.

Right, it came to my mind it could be a free user but then i knew i hid them in the classic flash room settings which it shows has no effect with the new SMConnect. Cant block them with SMC, right?! (not at pc now to verify). Pffttt, my first reaction was to get scared lol... that's what the work environment does to me ha! Lol

It's a glitch on SM's side. I've had that happen with various people, even my own regulars. They are not listed in your room and you can't do nothing (block, kick or whatever). Report to SM, so they can fix it.

As for those "user" named members, they are from some affiliate/whitelabel. I get a lot of spam msg with dudes like that. They fill my inbox with garbage requests.

I have been out of town for a few days and whenever I sign into SM to check my mail I notice my “Favorites” number keeps decreasing each day lol. Is this normal? Are ppl really unliking me? This never happened before, the number would always go up 🤔

There could be a number of reasons why the number of favorites are decreasing. My number of favorites fluctuate often.

Usually I see my numbers decrease on the days I don't stream, but I have had it happen on the days I do stream.

From my perspective - that number doesn't matter -it's just a number- keep your eyes on the prize - the number that matters for me is my earnings and the quality of customers.

It is important to grow our customer base. I believe (although I could be wrong) that whitelabels such as Pornhublive don't have the favorites feature. I hope this helps put your mind at ease

Another feature Pornhublive does not seem to have is a messaging system. Sometimes guys tell me they don't receive videos I send. Every time I ask which site they are on, it's always Pornhub. I tell them to sign into Streamate and they should find them there.

What is going on? I've made $16 in the last 15 hours streamed. This is absurd. Plus on my time online it shows that I have streamed 2 hours. I'm going nuts here and about ready to just write free chat sites off as a lost cause. Sometimes 30+ minutes go by with no one in my room at all.

People just close accounts or SM terminates accounts. I doubt guys actually unlike models. When I don't stream, I lose an average of 50 people per day. It's been this way since forever (or 2015, when they improved the system to count only "active members"). Don't sweat about it. You gain some, you lose some. Guys don't stay forever on the website. You'll get your numbers back on track once you log on.

Also... In the past 2-3 months I've started back... Please remind me to never get on here during the afternoon. Idk if it's just me orrrr, but I'm liking the early AM nut before work, After work crowds they come in with a purpose and GOOOO! And even if I do sit and chat it out a bit I get shows by the person or some random lol. But the afternoon... They a little too relaxed for my liking. I was just trying to get some $ in for my Daily pay since I've been off cam all week lolol mission was not completed.

I have wondered that myself. I track the number of models that are online, when I log on.

Personally I question that number. Yesterday when I took a look online the the old layout appeared when I pulled up SM, the number of models online were 1972 when I logged onto my member account the number was in the 3000's so there is really no telling. Or perhaps they are tinkering with stuff again.

I know right?! I felt we'll have a contest cause traffic was terrible since the last one, now contests are the norm and when traffic is bad and there is no business i know it's not me but the site.
Oh well, i shall carry on simply, nothing amazes me anymore on SM ;)

I wonder if guys can see each other while in private chat 'Classic Mode' in SMConnect, today one of the guys mentioned the other guy's name in there; i knew they were invisible to each other while in paid chat on the Flash interface but maybe not on SMConnect anymore?! If anyone knows pls chime in, ty! xx

Does anyone know the average numbers it takes to hit top 200? I'm kinda excited as this is my first contest I'm actually able and willing to work there.

Usually, 1K and a little (maybe 1.2-1.3) for top 200. That's total for 3 days of streaming.

I've been on Streamate for 9 solid years, and I've never seen numbers this high.
2000, yes. But over 3000, no.

Yeah I haven''t either. The number of models has increased this year, but 1000 more within a matter of day? Do they have a farm of models in a secret lair? (I am being facetious- after coffee I will be in a better mood ;D)

I normally use SMB but I'm on page 3 and getting no traffic. I hate SM Connect but I'm going to have to try it. Is there any way to make the picture less wide? I've got it zoomed all the way in and you can see my lights and stuff I do not want them to be able to see.

11-14-2019, 12:19 PM
^^Not sure about cropping. But it's been pretty dead for me. I did 3 hrs from 3:45am - 7am & been on since 11 with even less traffic.

I hope with SMConnect it improves for you. I dunno if I can keep going. I might need to give up til 4pm then try again.

At least I'm back on page 1 with SM Connect but I hate it so much. I am so fed up with Streamate right now. I know I haven't been working that much in the past few weeks which has tanked my placement. I'm just so stressed right now. My boyfriend was seriously hurt in a car accident two weeks ago. He hasn't been working, I haven't been working and now I have to use this stupid crap that I hate even though SM Broadcast is supposed to give you priority placement too. Really can't take much more stress. My anxiety is through the roof and there's a contest next week. Seriously considering going to apply at a strip club. If it weren't for our families, we would be so screwed but I hate not being self-sufficient.

I know I'm still very new to SM so this may seem like a really dumb question for all of you but Im going to ask it anyway. Do you guys get the sense that all this up and down stuff with traffic and glitches has to do strictly with all of the site changes? I mean with regard to the change over from SMB to SMC? Is traffic affected because of this or is lack of traffic a separate issue? I ask this to entertain the idea that maybe it will get better once we are totally switched over to just SMC?

I really like SM and want to stick with this site for the long haul. I guess I'm trying to gauge whether these issues are short term or if this site really is going down the tubes and isn't going to recover.....

Sometimes that crosses my mind but honestly if you go to the first few pages of this thread and the SM one, the site has been having "glitches" for years now and traffic has gone down.

Girl, I just shake my head cause your work ethic is so strong. You got balls for a lady. One day I did 7 hrs and didn't even get a single tip. I was joking with a friend that you have to actually try to not get tipped in 7 hrs. But really...I was trying.

Lately SM's lack of paying traffic has me meditating so much AND drinking more wine.

I'm not consistent by any means but... Stuff like this makes me have qualms about sending my own traffic here... I dunno... I rather put in the work and keep my clientele on my own turf. I've been debating about this for MONTHS, that's why I've mainly been sticking with phone sex. *sigh* Hopefully contest will garner good results, yes? One can hope lol I rather not be on the site overall tbh.

Keep in mind, if you send your own traffic to SM and have them sign up with your cammodels link you get to keep 75%. It's not much different than sending them to an indie paysite and using Skype. I'd say it's definitely worth using SM for the convenience when you're bringing your own traffic.

The site itself does have glitchy moments but I think a lot of girls hate it because they just don't get good traffic. That's not the same as having tech issues, which I personally rarely have on SM in a way that ruins a whole shift. It might be a sporadic glitch here or there but a restart usually solves it, or leaving and returning an hour later. My point is if you already have regs on SM or you're bringing traffic it's probably worth it. It may not be worth starting on SM at this point if you're brand new and have no existing customer base.

Thank you for your input as when it comes to sites to work on I am kinda still easily swayed by model commentary lol Because I trust you guys to keep it real - not their fault they're just stating their opinions and current emotions (not saying it's anyones fault for my conclusion.) I'll still use it, but in the meantime/downtime... I just dusted off my CMD account & Skyprivate, will be using IB as well for shows... About to get this blog and promo content cranked up this week. I'm excited.
