Streamate issue? I just started camming two weeks ago... And the 35% cut is embarrassingly low... Especially for such a large website and company! I got excited to get a $25 tip and came out with 8 bucks grrrr

I`m pissed at streamate.I never been recorded/posted on the internet until now. I don`t know what to think about this, I`ll give it a couple weeks to see if the "promotion" they do now turns into more $$, and if not, I will ask to opt out.I KNOW this comes with camming and at some point we all are posted somewhere, but I`m still pissed.
One thing I hated about cams.com was taking pictures in free chat and now sm is doing the same, pics and vids of free chat all over the internet.Downloadable files that probably contain privates, otherway why would the site ask to pay for membership so you can download the files.
As soon as I get online, pics and vids will be posted, so I can only think this comes dirrectly from sm.
I`m not happy thinking that they probably sell my privates somewhere else too and I get nothing but 30%.I was already pissed at them for not giving me block sessions as they don`t enable them for easterns anymore and now this.Fuck you sm, you posting my ass all over the net better turn into more $$.

How come members move around in my SM account vs no account. I logged into my husbands account and I can't find myself once hes logged in. I end up on page 3 or something other. I am one page 1 when logged out but I log back in and poof, I'm gone. Maybe its just common. I DONT have Geo Block enabled either so who knows.

Normally I check page 2 as thats where the girls in shows are. As a check traffic is in the bbw section. however I noticed it can show a double listing. I am always next to an established camgirl but she shows on page 1 and page 2.

Yeah, wtf language is that and where the fuck is the bbw category cuz I clicked all and didnt find it . They`re messing with the site again.

Site is still displayed in that language, must be sweedish i reckon, SV as it says there in the address bar for the 2nd picture i posted?!
WTF, why it shows like this for us who look up from europe? What other members get to see, can u girls confirm how u see sm site from the UK, USA, Canada, other european countries? Ty!
Was not able to cam last eve but i wanna get on cam today, confused why site is looking like this even I DID NOT change disaplay language on site?!?

You mean u, me & others from this region only get 30% from our cam shows on site and nothing from what they earn with our vids, guess u were too pissed to make this clear lol.
Yes i am as pissed as u are. On SM it matters a lot where u from u know?
When i bitch about SM i know why i do it :P

I love certain people there, Liz is amazing & helpful & very competent but they dont play fair, SM as an entity, the people who are in charge there favorite certain nationals over others and this is pissing me off the most.
Not cool to just get less of everything because u happen to live in certain region in the world.

And by the way, for the people that think i complain cause i like to do it, this is totally not true, i complain cause i want SM to realize what they do is very wrong & how much it's affecting some of us and secondly for people to realize some of us are in unfavorable situation on SM.

When there are 2k models online at the same time during a contest or so we, the ones who stream from far away are the 1st to have tech issues, when site has issues we the 1st to 'see & get the symptoms', just because u never happen to have issues or u treated right by the site it does not mean others dont have issues or dont have the right to be legitimately upset by the way they treated.
Peace!

Ok, the site displaying not in english: i checked on son's pc who has a different ip, it displays in english on chrome browser, checked on my phone using chrome browser -.english again, checked on my pc with mozilla -> english, checked with chrome on my pc ->sv language (svenska).
Weird but it might be related to having a vpn installed into my pc even it's not active, looks like it does 'something' to how chrome displays SM.
Phewww, crazy indeed :confused:

This isn't a vent or complaint. Just can't find the answer even after using the google search and sw. I did find a thread with it in there and go the the page and didn't see what I was looking for. So- dumb question. When you're in someone's party chat room and you can see the members it will list them in black type and grey type and then anonymous. So grey is the guys with no credit card on file? Then who are the anonymous? Is that like when you are checking out the site without logging in? TIA.

Here is a print screen from a random chat room, i work classic chat normally but i figure out the guys in black are the logged into 'guest chat' room members, the grey's (one in this case) is the guy with no CC who is watching and able to type in that 3rd chat window we have in our chatroom last section called 'free chat' & the rest are people who watch invisibly -> not logged in at all.
The model is counted too i see, Me + 3 black's + 1 grey + 3 anonymous = 8 members total :)
That's what i reckon here but if somebody knows any different pls share. xx

Yup! Having a VPN installed on your computer (even if it's not active) will put streamate in weird languages. I actually had my customer account suspended because I was using a VPN and was told by support to not use it on their site.

Great, had a baller regular not able to connect. Tried 6 times and this guy tried everything he could under the sun. He was on his phone so...no shocker there. Just absolutely irritating. Hard to want to stay on when that shit happens man. But traffic is the same else where so id rather stay on a site where if i do get taken at least its for more money.

Just having my fingers crossed i make my minimum :( would have been medium
goal had guy been able to get his shit to connect. But id accept and it would just not do anything. Wouldn't connect us to the exclusive. LOVE LOVE LOVE that glitch. >:(

Its not your geoblock, its everyone else's. When you're not logged in, models with geoblock are not there/can't be seen. When you log in, the system knows where you are and you can see everyone except who is geoblocked for your area.

My boyfriend is in France and I am in the United States ... Does this still apply ?

YES because he being in France it'll display european models for him 1st before american models, it depends where the member is from when watching SM, it's a complicated formula lol, the placement of models is in direct connection to the location of the 'watcher' (the member), also it matters if he is logged in or not, it matters how u the model look at urself on SM.
If i as a model look up site with my own IP i see things different than if i use different ip's thorough VPN let's say, that's why i got a vpn here to see how i display to certain members in certain regions.
They (SM) are the only ones who know how they do things there but this is what i figured out by just camming and looking things up :)

Well... made my minimum goal. Barely. Better then nothing and I'll take it since I know how bad it could have been. Just sucks because this week's earnings kick off a car savings. Ours is on its way out. It's entirely too early in the week for me too be too bitter so I just hope tomorrow night is better.

Welp,
I'm gonna go cook up this pack of bacon and brainstorm on what I could possibly do different tomorrow to get a chance at improving my earnings.

Hang in there lovelys, your good night (s) will come along.

Did you try hitting the pause button and then hitting it again? I had that exclusive connection glitch all of last week, and thankfully knew about this trick.

So if that happens, after i accept the exclusive, hit the stop show on just the sm broadcaster and then back on?
I never knew about that. Unless you're talking about just restarting everything, I did that twice even though I knew deep down it was pointless because no way in fucking HELLA it's my side. Not now anywaya.

Selenasecret
04-04-2016, 11:14 AM
Yeah pause button. is this the stop start button as I never seen a pause button. Which would be really useful as it takes a bit for the stream to spool up to 720p.

04-04-2016, 11:18 AM
If you don't have the pause/break button, you just need to email support and ask for it! I don't know why they don't give it (and the option for static bio pics) to everyone by default.

Just the break button, NOT the stop show button.Then tap it again. The guy will then appear in exclusive.

04-04-2016, 12:21 PM
Wait what break button? When I use sm broadcaster I've got the Start show button only on the interface and broadcaster.

So is it just hitting the 'start/stop show' button on the broadcaster ONLY, or is it like you've said, there should be an actual 'pause' or 'break' button. I've been using the broadcaster since I started and I've never seen a pause or break button.

Edited: Sorry just saw I have to e mail support lol

thank you so much! i messaged liz and she 'added it to my account'. Its really odd something like a pause button doesn't come with.

and thank YOU!!!! for this tip. hopefully he comes back tonight and i can make a pretty penny. I had to others on their mobile devices go smooth just fine, so hopefully it wasnt his phone since the first few times weve had exc was on his laptop...so it was probably his phone, but im FOR SURE thankful af to know this.

Again thank you guys!

Sometimes with phone, it just disconnects. Even with the pause button...i might lose a show a night. I just chalk it up as a "phone glitch" ask your guy to meet u on a laptop or desktop!

Fuck man.
So far, ive pretty much bought a new pc for no reason.

This is the closest ive felt to being on edge where i may go out
and put in actual applications.

I cant get anywhere on other sites
and ive been first row of BBW the whole time ive been on (damn near)
and that doesnt mean fucking SHIT.

Sounds on. HD cam. Low music. Dressed sexy. Make up and hair on point.

Im tired of this shit. Its only been two hours but how many more
hours am i gonna sit here wasting my fucking time.

Thanks for the freeloading non paying traffic SM.

At least its something tho, right?

FUCK NO. ID RATHER THERE BE FUCKING NO ONE THEN JUST A BUNCH OF
PEEPERS AND 'LET ME TALK TO HER FOR A WHILE AND WASTE HER TIME
AND CASUALLY ASK FOR A FUCKING FREEBIE'

this is also the closest ive been to fucking crying because of camming.

FUCK

Aw hunnie. Its a major holiday season in the UK for the next 2 weeks. Last week was the first week of the souths easter holidays. And next week is the 2nd week of the norths easter holiday.

Does America has easter holidays for schools?

Yeah but that was last week.
Im getting mad amounts of traffic and i honestly have been in a great mood
this morning so i know its not that i seem unhappy or stressed
or anything.

Its just my fucking luck. (please excuse my pitty party)
instead of starting our car savings i decided to get a new pc,
get the pc and its AMAZING (thank you guys again)
and i cant even break A FUCKING HUNDRED 4 days into the payweek.
Of course im going to stick this out
but im going to have to point the cam down so
the dudes cant tell. Its hard to act like nothing is fucking wrong.

This weeks earnings were supposed to be earning my pc money back/
jump start car savings.

Im being mad friendly im verbally saying hi to most dudes who come into my room.
Im giving it one more hour and if something doesnt give ive got to hop off.

My anxiety is already through the fucking roof, and im probably straight blocking
potential payers out of my bitter fucking mood.

I had to just stop my show because just writing about this is making me cry,
which means my period must be comming in hot, because i dont normally
get THIS upset about this shit since i know thats how this shit goes.

Its just i literally have the next few hours, and tomorrow night as i have plans
for friday night.

Its fucking embarrassing to tell my husband ive only made 50 dollars for twenty hours
of work. I figured that since it was silent on this thread everyone is having great nights, that or theyre just tired of bitching about the same shit.

p.s. off topic, can i install my sims game to this PC without it fucking shit up? its from the AE website but i just dont want to potentially take PC usage from shit. I dont plan on playing while camming but i certainly plan on playing here soon to act like i have a good life. Use a cheat to make me a millionaire, build a mansion, marry someone then stab them in their fucking face...just the mood im in.

That pc will run a game and cam at the same time no problem. Its got the horsepower for it.

I been gutted imagining that this week has been having great traffic all week spending loads and I have been missing it all.

I am due next week as well cant find sponges in the UK shops so thats 2 weeks I havent got anything to show for it.

Have you given in and tried twitter yet? I think its great for traffic and your profile pictures will get attention. Plus it makes it easy to build a fan base and interact in a non sexual way with them.

Hubbie had a Dr appointment and still is on the meds. Driving me crazy its been so long since I had anything sexual.

I bet. I dont like to have sex with my hubs after i cam.
Not because of him but i have a personal paranoia that ill feel...
like 'used' to him since i have a couple toys that are larger then he is.

And i do cum a few times genuinely in a shift so it probably would feel
to him like ive been fucked.

And hes never said anything its just my paranoia. Hes already not thrilled about me
doing this but when i make the money i do (MADE I GUESS I SHOULD SAY) he really doesnt mind
just doesnt want to hear about the sessions and shit.

But when i tell him i made 50 dollars for 20 hours of work
i can only imagine what hes thinking. I dont get naked at all in freechat which is probably why he isnt looking at it all fucked up.

And good to know! I might actually stay on and play my game if the pc runs good lol

Sims takes so much fucking power though lol

and nope honey, youre not the only one missing it all.

The only thing ive changed is i put in my facial piercings so maybe
my "bull nose ring" (fucking hate that term) is turning dudes off.

Ill try with out the facial jewelry tonight. ive had so many regulars
just come in and say 'hi' the past week and multiple times.
Then message me and ask when im gonna be on next and never show up.

If i had all the "planned" sessions ive made this week with regs id be sitting pretty.

Fucking flakes.

And honestly if you cant find sponges, i would just try tucking the string of a tampon.
And just no toys. You would be suprised how often you get away
with not using toys when theyre not in site and you dont mention them.

I do lose a lot of shows because of it on my period week, but at the same
time it doesnt effect it as much as you would think.

Just go to town on your clit and theyre happy campers.

or theyre just cheap as fuck and attempting to rush us.
You go EllieGold, fuck that cheap prick. I would have done the same because we all know after the
"Stop wasting my time" hes gonna leave anyway and give a fucked up tag or rating. Might
as well block the bitch first.

I emailed support about the break button and they said I couldn't have it until my account was more "established". I asked them what they meant and they sent me the exact same message. ....

Fucktards!
Fucktards!
Fucktards!

My #1 complaint about Streamate, their lame-ass, cut & paste 'Support' department that either knows nothing, or doesn't give a shit about who's earning their paychecks!!!! If they gave it some thought, they'd realize WE, the models who can't get online to work, are paying ALL their checks. Period. Yet they don't give us the respect, in the form of live support, which shows they understand that!

I'm at the end of my tether, ready to put together a model coalition to meet (virtually) with the top people at SM. About 5 years ago, when the top iFriends models were fed-up they did this with management with some pretty good outcomes.

At this point SM runs their business as if they think they're too big to fail. "Leader in the industry". They're using chewing gum & bent paper clips to keep the place running on FLASH that no Apple product will seamlessly connect with. SM management seems to think the new features they're always introducing are somehow going to make up for an archaic FLASH platform & non-existent model support.

They've spent how much creating the NEW Broadcaster?
Whoop-dee-do!
From what I've experienced myself, and seen in the Line #1 Models rooms who are using it, the Broadcaster is garbled, takes hits, or completely disconnects us from the stream, requiring a complete reboot. In general very temperamental.

I thought with all the effort to develop the Broadcaster, that it had to be created as a bridge to the new platform (HTML5?) that would connect with Apple & all other products which are moving from the FLASH Streamate uses.

NO! The Broadcaster is also FLASH based.
What a fuckin' waste of everyone's time. *sigh*
So it appears these connections will continue until SM invests in building an entire new modern platform.

Dinosaurs become extinct. There is no such thing as too big to fail. Just ask your friendly Tyrantisaurus Rex.

Grrrrrr.........
