I made a member account that I sometimes give to friends to come into my room and chat when its slow just to keep me company and show myself active. Of COURSE I made myself a fav performer and to be "notified" of when I came online via text. For the past week, no fav notification and a lot of my regs asking "where you been" if they happen to drop an email addy in that email, well they get routed to another site with better pay outs. I mean I haven't been active that long, but def a big difference in traffic from when I started in Dec to now and I'm online more. Actively looking for better options. Gonna start twittering now see if that helps.

I've been on here for 5 years now and this is by far the worst I've seen it. I may have to start split camming.

Thought it was cause I'm new. Did 2 days ranging in $100 each then $10 today. Was blaming my lighting, my clothing, my choice of time....

YES! That`s how SM felt this week for me.
If I was to make my money only from SM, I wouldn`t have a roof over my head when rent will be due. Seriously.

Time to move on, by far worst week ever. I put more hours in, my pay doesn't show it. There's a ridiculous amount of models this week. The last good day I had was last Saturday, which I never did good with. This site making me go fucking postal!!

Someone posted this to @realstreamate's Twit. Of course, the guy denied that traffic was down. Said Alexa was one of a handful of traffic rank sites. They have an answer for everything.

Those numbers reflect how it feels working on streamate at this point. I was doing $700 days last year and right now I can make that in 2 1/2 days sanely without working an absurd amount of hours for way less money. There's too much inconsistency with this site to a customer. It simply should not be that hard to view your favorite girl and buy a show to jack off.
I'm tired of Support. I hate contacting them for anything. For instance I recently had to ask them to manually ban a specific member because he kept taking me Pvt and leaving instantly before I could ban him and I told them this only to get a coy paste response telling me how to ban them myself.

I noticed the whitelabel sites are starting to retweet us. Or advertise us on twitter. Normally I have to do this all myself so something is going on. Wednesday I literally had 30guys in my room last night it was tumbleweeds. I had an $8 tip I didnt even notice there was over 2000 which is insane.

Just scary to read all these posts of how dead it is for many of us, guess i was just lucky with my good regular the other day and some shows last nite, that's the only 2 days (with 2 hrs shifts for each day) i managed to work this week, last week was absolutely crap also when i only was able to cam on friday and saturday & not making shit. SM is my only site i can make money on for now, what is really going on with this site??!!

It was high volumes of paying traffic 2 weeks ago. It just suddenly died out Friday morning and I guess didnt return.
I just hope this is the easter holidays and everything returns to normal next week

I wanted off so bad. Had a 2 Skype shows so no problem. I stuck it out. Just like the thread says "Just Stay On"......I did. I had 10 or so 5 to 10 minute shows. On again. Off again on SM for privates. Came back and forced myself to stay on cam for another 15 minutes. A guy I have not seen in a while comes in and says I joined your fan site. It is really cool. I say thanks because I think he already took care of himself watching my videos. He said your videos got me all worked up you want to go play? Sure! So for 35 minutes full price we played. That made my night. So. Stay on! I can blame anything and everything. Tax time, Sporting events, too late, too early, too anything. Just stay on for a little while longer. You just never know. I only banned 2 tonight! LOL

This info on cyber attack reminds me that since Jan 5th-25th Mercury has been in retrograde, which has to do with poor communication. While it sounds hokey, there have been all sorts of news reports, especially this week, about telephone, internet & power outages. Coincidence? *shrugs*
Oh, and P.S., tomorrow the 24th is a full moon while retrograde is going on too. Ba-zinga! Ha ha ha!
While I don't tippy-toe through life worried about what the stars say, after reading today's posts here, for fun I thought I'd look it up.
Areas of Life Mercury Rules
Mercury rules all types of communication, including listening, speaking, learning, reading, editing, researching, negotiating, selling, and buying. Mercury also rules all formal contracts and agreements, as well as important documents such as book manuscripts or term papers, agreements, deeds, contracts, leases, wills, and so forth.
Included under this planet's domain are all types of code, including computer codes, as well as transportation, shipping, and travel. When this planet retrogrades, these areas tend to get scrambled or spin out of control.
Why does this happen? When a planet retrogrades, astrologically it is in a resting or sleeping state. Therefore, while Mercury naps, the activities that it governs don't have the benefit of a well-functioning, wide-awake planet to supervise them. Expect a certain degree of pandemonium to ensue!
you are right one must be curious about his/her life hence it is mandatory to know what stars say about his/her life moreover i just found this article quite useful how i might offer some help to someone in need

Hello Again,
Here's my specs.. still trying to figure this out..
Intel Core i7-5820k cpu @ 3.30 Ghz 3.30 Ghz
16 GB ram
Quad Core with hyper threading
Using windows 7
p.s.... cam is freezing.. do you think I need to buy a new one? I mean I think I bought this one in 2012 or 2013 (2013 I thnk)
When you say gaming pc. What are the actual specs?
I7 can be a multitude of different things.
2gig / 3gig / 4gig. 2 core 4 core 6 core 8 core?
I prefer amd myself windows 10 really makes use of the amd stuff and they have literally just come into their own now multicore stuff is working to use all the cores.
For example my £50 amd athlon x4 860k. Is as fast as an i5 that costs £200. Which was the cost of my entire cam pc. Yet it streams fine at 35-40% cpu at 720p best setting. ( I think the poor / good / high / very high / best is down to lighting)
You cant beat a parts put together pc. As turbo settings and what not. However you also cant beat the ease of use a brandname pc has for re setting should something go wrong.
If you try msconfig.exe. And Google how to use it you can shut off any start up tasks and stuff that might be clogging the cpu up ( background tasks)
But I am not joking I use a £200 pc. Made out of Amazon sale parts. It streams fine and I get good listings. I only have zonealarm firewall avg antivirus and adaware malware running in the back ground.
Its the paying traffic I struggle with cheap bastards.[/QUOTE]

I updated video graphics card.. screwed up my other cam.. I updated Logitech software.. I don't know what else I could be.. I have tons of light!

The cam could be burnt out. It is processing the image and encoding on the fly so it is possible. Its why the picture is so good on the logitech. I think phatgirldynamight say the cams only last a year but I cant confirm it. do you have another cam to see if it calibrates?
anonymous camgirl
04-15-2016, 10:49 AM
Yea I have another cam but it's quite inferior its a 525 great for other sites.. I think I might go out and get that one I saw at best buy.. Logitech Pro .. it has a few other features that the c920 does not have.. can you tell me if it's better than the C920? here's the link to it.. it's more expensive.. but who knows if it is better..

Interesting to see how traffic has gone down on Alexa. And not surprised that streamate has an answer for it. Except Alexa is pretty mch the benchmark of site ratings and traffic numbers. It makes me wonder why its gone down so much? And if this is public info, there is no way they dont realise this. Despite them denying it, I wonder what they are doing to remedy the issue, if anything? I have said time and time again that there isnt any way they arent feeling this in terms of their bottom line. I really do not want to have to go back to Naked or start from scratch on some other site...

All due to stopping advertisement and marketing .. They stopped pushing over a year; not as hard as they use too. I think I read it was a big expense.

you will earn more money setting up your account direct through streamate.... what % do you get through eyekandi? if you apply direct you get 35% and using payoneer global payout you only pay $3 for your money to go straight into your uk bank account
also if you do a search on here for 'eye kandi' you will see many warnings to avoid!

My previous logitech c920 lasted around 2 years, then the picture started twitching and shaking in a really creepy manner, until it went totally ̢̙̎ͩ̏͆ͮ͑̓͝Z͎͚̼̐ͭ͠A̖̺͔͖ͧ͌̍̓ͯͥ́L̈́́͏̴̙̪̻G̦͙̏͋Ŏ̃̓ͨͧͯ́ ̱!̧̳͈̬̫̠̹̖̪͌̓ͮ͋ͩͣ̌͢͝ (It looked kinda cool though, so I decided to keep the old cam until Halloween).

They take a commission of all your earnings (65% or more, depending on your region), but it's not like you have to send them any money.

Of course, that's why the bonus days etc.. They are relying on huge amounts of performers working for longer times, and testing it out. If their bottom line is still the same after this tactic, why would they care for our bottom line? Business is still great for them.
