I was literally working less than an hour ago and my placement was normal. Now I am way down on the list even when I'm offline...

Yesterday was my first day on SM. My video was lagging behind big time. You culd barely see or hear me.. I had a private though and I kept apologizing for the quality and said I will come back later but I lucked out and he said just watch so at least I made a few bucks lol

My connection is amazing! Fiber optics and a thread ripper and I have zero problems on SM but I am getting a shit ton of guys who pop in and turn on cam right away so I see them jacking off and then they leave before the 40 seconds free time is up so they dont even get charged. I wish SM would not allow them to do this. From now on Im pressing reject for the first attempt

I press the reject if they immediately turn on their cam. OMG this is probably my biggest, maybe my only real complaint about the site. Since they won't EVER get rid of the peeping, the least they could do is allow models to set a minimum private time (like Chaturbate does) I would set mine to 5 min
Can you imagine how HAPPY the models would be?

Anyone else's pay not right for dec 6th in payment history?

Yes, they issued me two payments of same amount for 6th.
I was supposed to get one payment from two weeks earnings but they issued me two. I think is a glitch.
For the first week with the 7 days contest i made little money cause i barely worked but the next week i made more so they were supposed to add up the two amounts on a single payment.
What they did is, they listed the two amounts i made for each week but the total of each payment is the sum of these 2 weeks. If they pay me like this on friday i'll get my money twice (double). Maybe they sort things out by then.

Where is SM getting this traffic from? The dumpster behind Chipotle??? OMFG!!! Just straight trash for the last 24 hours. Wtf dude!?!? I went from killing it, to it killing me. I'm sitting in free chat, feeling like a damn fool. My night shifts have been on point this week but not this one. This night shift can fuck all the way off.

I have a question for you guys, pls if u willing to give input: ok, i had the Esca vibe toy that is compatible to SM but it broke so it does not connect anymore and does not react to sounds either, it simply started to act up to the point where is not useful anymore so i use another toy that is not SM compatible. (was cheaper and i had no money for another Esca back then).

Do u think is important to have a compatible toy for SM that members see it's connected, are they more likely to tip or take me pvt when they see the toy Online? (i dont have a member account to look up myself but i heard members see when we have our toys connected/online).
I remember i was doing alot better money wise when i had the Esca toy than now but that was during end of winter to spring time this year then the thing started to act up for no reason (i did not drop it or sank it in water).

I ask because i dont wanna spend an important sum of money on a new toy if this wont increase my earnings, i can use the money for therapy but the point is, making low money makes me depressed and aggravates my anxiety/ mood; what to pick, a new toy to eventually increase my earnings (there is a risk it wont increase them) or therapy to help me with my personal issues triggered also by low earnings? Hope it makes sense what i am saying here. Ty xx

I was in the exact same situation for like 2 months. Toy was acting up and didn't connect to the app. In the end I had to buy another one because with the low traffic and how dead it was, i was getting depressed and didn't want to go online anymore. But tbh I didn't see any improvement...I have around only my regulars. At this point I started to split cause I couldn't deal only with sm.
Maybe Esca became so common and it's not a trigger anymore..or members got fed up with some girls faking it and now they think that we all do it..

^^^Thank you for input, in between i signed up with Stripchat and waiting for approval there, i cant take how SM is anymore, i mean i get online for absolutely nothing.
From what i saw in the rooms most girls have vibe toys and it shows when they connected (saw many lovense), i will get the feel of that site then most probably get a toy that works both on sm and there.
I am not a fan of token sites but i gotta do what i gotta do, cant continue to crappy SM, maybe is a temporary bad period for me but it looks like some people make really good money on there still and some not anymore.
Esca does not seem like a good product by the way, it broke after two months, it started to not react to tips, then not connect then not even react to it"s software and finally not even recharge anymore. I either got a bad product or the whole model is bad, cant tell for sure.

My pleasure! I hope it works out on Stripchat and regarding SM I have the same experience, there are days that are good and 70-80% awful, like no traffic at all. I do hope too it is a temporary bad period, but unfortunately, can not wait and do nothing until Sm gets better. Good luck with Stripchat! xx

my traffic was excellent on friday, but noticeably worse on saturday, then terrible today.

i had several regs tell me that they couldn't see me when i was online (they searched for me, didn't find my profile, and I wasn't showing up in their favorites). eventually i popped up, but for most of them it was several hours into my somewhat dead shift.

also had people say i was online earlier when i wasn't. multiple people said they saw tons of offline profiles on the front page.

both of those generally explain the dip in traffic. lame.

I am going to explode, my blood pressure is sky high! I already sent an angry email to the support, I can't no more. With SMC I get no one in my room for 15-20 mins, with SMB all connection issues. Of course they will blame my equipment, cam, internet or my mother! They come out with all kind of useless shit but they haven't fixed the glitch where we don't show online when we are actually online and today this. It's too much already.

Same-ish.

I had a fairly decent week all the way up until Thurs night after they announced the changes on SMC then my paid % dipped from 50% - no less than 25% down to the teens in 4 consec streaming days.

5243352434

I've noticed a pattern with this in my tracking/spreadsheets for my earnings/hrs, etc, that I can NEVER have 2 'normal' acting weeks back to back. Call it what you will but my spreadsheets and tracking don't lie. I always get one week that seems normal with less glitches and members coming on and saying 'they never see me online!' when I clearly cam a lot and I'm very consistent, to the next week just being absolute shit with tons of hours online with NO one in my room and no one interacting and making about 50% less than I would on a 'normal' week. It happens too often and too frequently (one week decent, one week shit, back and forth, etc) for it to be a coinky dink anymore when literally NOTHING on my end changes. All my tech is the same, my internet is solid, and my hours/schedule are the same.

But it is what it is I guess. I guess I'm not 'allowed' to have 2 normal weeks back to back, lol. I'll be happy when shit like THIS stops happening. Its hard to get on and work hours when you feel like something is off and sometimes maybe it's not just a coincidence anymore when it develops a very similar pattern. *shrug*

I honestly think I would be less upset about it if it was a tech issue on my end I could fix, but the fact that its clear that its deliberate on their end is frustrating. I do know that in previous weeks when I get the slow glitch-fest weeks I'd just work less hours and give up because it seems hopeless, but the difference with this time is I'm sticking with the long shifts and trying to make whatever I can and praying one of my regs can get through to save me or a whale or something and I'm MOSTLY making low goal after spending 10-12hrs online despite the nonsense. It just makes for some really fucking long days and a flat ass to boot, lol.

I'll just be glad when its over, its hard to get over the mindfuck of 'I was super awesome last week and everyone loved me and missed me!' to 'I suck and everyone hates me and maybe this is the week everything is just over and I won't make money ever again.' I'm really tired of it. :(

Something is definitely off with the placement algorithm right now. It was smooth sailing and totally normal for the first hour I was on and then traffic took a nose dive and it's been downhill ever since for like the last two hours. When I log in as a member there is not a single recognizable model on the 1st page.

Have you tried Cams? It's pretty similar to Streamate.

12-09-2019, 04:56 PM
^^^ Yes ty! Several years ago i cammed there til i made payment once and did not continue. I dont like that site, it takes automatic photos of me while i am in freechat and if i tilted the cam up a little to dress (forehead was still visible) i got a warning for being off cam then again for stepping off cam view for a few secs. I dont like to be policed like this considering it was the freechat.
I want to start a new avenue on a new site cause i am not going back to the old ones i dont like.
I got approved for stripchat, will see how it works.

Today i started the therapy and the therapist asked if i can take a few weeks off camming and i told her i cant because if i do i wont be able to pay for therapy sessions, my son cant sustain all house expenses plus therapy.

Just to see what triggered my depression and anxiety episode this time again after 8 months being steady okay healthwise -> the extreme low earnings, this is an example of one of the 7 days recent contests but the non contest weeks are very similar to this one in the picture. I mean in oct- nov i had $200 weeks, 100 something, under 100 for approx 20-25 hrs/week on cam cause i cant work more especially when i see how dead it is.
I will take a break from SM and focus on stripchat, my mental health is more important than that site.

I blurred some sections in the pic so it cant be identified by Sm if they around here lol, that is 7 days contest example making $63 something for 24Hrs something on cam, how not to get nuts?! (not literally nuts but had a serious panic attack recently)

It most definitely is nuts. Speaking for myself the same happens but on the same scale like:

I'm used to making 50-70/hrly just last year and now I struggle to make 25-30/hr, and when it is extra glitchy for me I have days like today making barely over 10/hr!

I'm sure more feel it also it just reflects different based on what you were used to making vs what you are making now. Going from 50-70/hrly to 25-30/hrly my income this year is 1/2 what it was last year. And on the glitchy days I am making 1/5th-1/7th what I used to.

It sucks. Plain and simple. I have bills based off a certain income from last years $$ and already trying to double my hrs to make targets, but when I'm making the lowest amt hrly like the last 4 days there literally is not enough hrs in my day to cam to try to hit my goals. I've even reduced them numerous times this year. It gets discouraging!

I hope therapy helps, and I hope stripchat works out for you! <3

^^^ Ty cutie,:iloveyou::thanx:

ETA: looks like stripchat is not working if u dont have a vibe toy, i tried it a little and had no patience for it. from what i saw when looked around all girls who receive nice tips have the vibe toys, i need one asap.

How do u guys splitcam sm with another site pls, what u use as split software?
Is SM connect working to split with? i totally forgot how to splitcam cause i cam only on SM for a good while now. Dont even know if my i5 desktop pc can handle splitcamming anymore as sites require more resources these days and my pc is 7 years old already.

My account was back to the application process. No ratings. $0 in my earnings. It was asking for my ID again. It's back to normal now but omg. I was about to scream!!!

This was an ongoing issue I had with Streamray/Cams, and I used to complain about it on here all the time. I'd log in to Cams with the intention of doing Nude Chat, but I'd wind up at the screen telling me that I need to wait to be approved as a model. Lol. That drove me bonkers, and I'd be like "Well...guess I'm logging onto ImLive today instead." :P

I wasn't logged into a custie account on either but why are SO MANY models that were showing up on edge not showing up on chrome?? So fucking weird.

I'm so sorry that you are struggling. I couldn't deal with SM and took a very long extended break. I only pop on for appointments with very established regulars. Sitting there for hours on end with little to no traffic, watching people pop in and out KILLED me.

Can you try something new while taking a break from cam? Like, rideshare or other gig jobs? Taking a step away from camming may definitely help your anxiety and depression. Hugs to you!

I have a question for you guys, pls if u willing to give input: ok, i had the Esca vibe toy that is compatible to SM but it broke so it does not connect anymore and does not react to sounds either, it simply started to act up to the point where is not useful anymore so i use another toy that is not SM compatible. (was cheaper and i had no money for another Esca back then).

Do u think is important to have a compatible toy for SM that members see it's connected, are they more likely to tip or take me pvt when they see the toy Online? (i dont have a member account to look up myself but i heard members see when we have our toys connected/online).
I remember i was doing alot better money wise when i had the Esca toy than now but that was during end of winter to spring time this year then the thing started to act up for no reason (i did not drop it or sank it in water).

I ask because i dont wanna spend an important sum of money on a new toy if this wont increase my earnings, i can use the money for therapy but the point is, making low money makes me depressed and aggravates my anxiety/ mood; what to pick, a new toy to eventually increase my earnings (there is a risk it wont increase them) or therapy to help me with my personal issues triggered also by low earnings? Hope it makes sense what i am saying here. Ty xx

I think we all go through this (being depressed) this type of work takes its toll on our metal health. I was a very low earner last year, less then $400 a week. This year has been better, however I don't just cam. I have two side gigs that are not in the adult industry . Unless you are puling in $1000 plus every week on cam, you need to have a side gig for when times are slow. January tends to be slow for me, so I'm preparing now. Always have a back up plan, there is no guarantee in this business. Good luck and hope you feel better.

Okay I'm confused. Out of everyone entering my room, why is only one name grey after he left? Shouldn't they all be? And when the hell does it disappear?

They have to be in your room for at least 30 seconds for their name to stay. And they disappear after 15 minutes.

I'm so sorry that you are struggling. I couldn't deal with SM and took a very long extended break. I only pop on for appointments with very established regulars. Sitting there for hours on end with little to no traffic, watching people pop in and out KILLED me.

Thank you soo much for your answers ladies but first of all thank you for caring, it means a lot to me because all i have is my son and this community here and now the therapist that is costly but i need her help.
I don't know right now if there is something i could do other than cam cause i have several health issues that keep me away from a regular vanilla job and i cant work at pc for long hrs cause eye issues and migraine so camming for 3-4 hrs shift was ok just now its terribly dead and i cant stay longer hrs to get the chance for better traffic or to catch some good spenders, i mean if i make nothing in 2-3 hrs i log off, i cant continue and i am tired already with my eyes and migraine sets in by then.

Will see what options i have, all i needed was to log in, make some decent money and log off after 3-4 hrs max.
But now things are not working anymore like this and from what i read here people dont make what they need even after long shifts so what gives?!

Sm is at two extreme i see, people who bank and people who make nothing anymore, maybe they wanna get rid of some of us, i dont know but this is a solution for them, to cut the traffic so we give up, i dont know anymore.
Will see what i'll do here, waiting for my vibe toy to work the other site, i pray it will work, if not i look for Something else. Hugs and ty for caring xxx

Placement is all fucked up.

Suddenly someone who is from another country with 4 stars is ranking higher than me in live placement.

Also offline placement is not in order at all.

Traffic is annoying today as well.

On a funny but sad note the therapist said something interesting (we had no time to elaborate cause time was up and it was the 1st session where i mostly talked and explained my situation and issues i have but here and there she mentioned a few things); so she said "u know that ur weight gain can be related to the fact that u dont wanna be on cam? because the brain is giving the command to accumulate mass in order to get unattractive and not cam anymore because u not happy camming? He does not know u need this job, all he knows is u not happy so he wanna protect u by taking u away the thing that makes u unhappy". In my mind I was like What?! No kidding! but then i really had to leave cause she had another appointment. Mind blowing here cause i started to gain weight as soon as i started camming and in 18 years on cam i gained double the weight i had before as i was really slim.

I made the connection right away with when i had surgery almost 3 years ago and did not cam for almost 2 months but recovered at home, i lost 15 kg in that 2 months w.o eating different but then i started to cam again and i put them back in a year.
Before i left i told her "they like us BBWs too, only if i had the right tits for my body lol, i looked at her as she is kinda thick too but she has tits, proper tits!! OMG i die here LOL.

She is young (27 yo) but a really nice girl and an empath, while talking i felt her feeling my pain and then my joy when i laughed, we connected right away, this is the person i needed and i hope she can handle my situation cause is a tough case with lots of medical issues and traumas.

Even she is young and not sure how experienced she is i give her the chance to work together with me in order to succeed, me and her. I always felt that an invisible force sent me to the right people when i needed help and sometimes a 'not friendly' force to the wrong ones to harm me but as light is stronger than the dark, i believe in God and go with the light and pray for the best.
Ty for reading xx

Day 3

I am live but I am not showing up as online or offline. I now exist everywhere and nowhere. In between the fabric of space, time, and streamate. Send help.

I saw some other random bizarre stuff like that tonight that was happening: if you look at my 2 screenshots (one is with chrome on desktop and the other is with edge on desktop) aside from edge being 9 across vs 8, and one extra line - the lineup looks so much different. I wasn't logged into a custie account on either but why are SO MANY models that were showing up on edge not showing up on chrome?? So fucking weird.

Chrome:

52441

Edge:

52442


Edge is showing you the previous layout of the website. Before they implemented this new "look", SM used to position girls based on IP. That's why you see a different arrangement. But nothing bizarre.

Did streamate change the ranking system? Or is it really this messed up in my category ? It's been 3 days and people who have just started are ranking way higher than me with 4 stars. I'm using smconnect.

Its effecting my income by a large margin and I'm starting to get really pissed off at this point

I know it isn't a laughing matter but damn, that was just... poetic!

Hope the online issue gets sorted, so frustrating! Sometimes I find it fixes itself if I log out and back in.
