Will someone explain the best way to check my stream?
I've searched but nothing comes up.
I usually go to my cam models link, and it looks fine.
But yesterday, no one was staying in my room, or buying shows.
I logged off and then back on, and when I suddenly got shows, ( for the guys who were bouncing in and out), I asked them why.
They said it was glitchy before.:shrug:
Thanks in advance.

I don't understand this, SM has issues. The writing is on the wall. It's there. They need to do upgrades to their servers, that's for sure. I wont say anymore. It wont be my problem after September so the site can just crash (or not crash, whichever). My husband went 3 years to school for programming and a side of networking, so he knows this stuff.

I was just checking rooms and gold show rooms seemed to tell me they were in a show after 1 min ( when they had way more time on the countdown) when I'd refresh it would say they were offline. Fuck me. No $ this week.

Last nite i got disconnected while i was finally in a nice pvt with a reg after i was dead for a good while, i was able to reconnect back right away luckily and my reg returned. My friend was disconnected the very same time so it was a problem on site not on our side. Then i looked up some cam rooms and some pictures were awfully looking like a mosaic and the sound was cranky and unreadable, not sure if the models knew of their stream quality, i guess not cause that happened to me the other day too, mosaic picture quality, i was on SMB and i really suspect this software to be pretty buggy.
I went on with the FMLE but i changed back to SMB cause i like it more, i can resize the picture size better than with the FMLE. They for sure have issues with site, it's not us.

I just ordered a new computer thinking a major upgrade would help me out. It won't be here until next week.
SM has been mediocre for me, since returning after a 3 month hiatus. I logged back on for the first time last week. I made $200 in 11 hrs (broken up between 2 days)
I was running literally the biggest piece of shit laptop imaginable with a cpu benchmark of 2,776, so when I say it's shitty I'm not exaggerating. I purchased it before I knew any better, but it lags and it's just no good so I assumed that it played a part in customers not being able to see me or stay in my room. So I've purchased a desktop 3.4GHz sixth-generation Intel Core i7-6700 quad-core processor with 12GB SDRAM 9,998 cpu benchmark.
I'm really not tech savvy but after a lot of reading here I chose this one.
Reading all this has made me wonder if I should not have bothered. What I'm gathering is that it's going to suck no matter what machine I'm running and it's just all on their end? Ugh
Hoping I didn't waste my money because at least with the new machine I can splitcam. I was happy about getting a new computer.
Kind of sad reading this now. lol

True customers not being able to see you or stay in your room wasn't because of your computer but upgrading your computer/equipment is never a waste. Even with the glitches having a good computer will allow you to make more money and it gives you the assurance that the issues are most likely the site and not your computer. Also when it comes time for SM to upgrade(because we all know they will up their specs whenever the next tech wave comes) your computer will most likely be able to handle it or at least the lowest settings.

At least now I don't feel as though I've made the upgrade for no good reason.

I upgraded my tech in March of this year to a i7 6700K so I get you on the tech is much better. Did I see an income increase on cams? Nope. I still am dealing with glitches... Still earning the same i was last year. However, I however did see an increase in video editing time. My income from clips is 1000+ a month so it paid off! SO yes, it was viable to increase your tech.

I did a free goldshow :P I never set them up that long but I decided to try with 7 minutes, we were like 4 minutes in the show when I got disconnected, hate that. Then I got disconnected like a million times, thankfully not in another goldshow. Still Iīm not sure if itīs my internet wire wich is new and may not work propperly or if itīs the site.
Btw...I was able to see guests in free chat (the window in the bottom) for like 20 minutes, and then when I logged back on I couldnīt anymore, only ghosts typing. I like to see who is there, itīs this a glitch or they can go invisible or something? I thought it was a glitch but maybe they can decide to be visible or not, I donīt know.

The weekends can be pretty hit or miss, so don't give up. Also check your feed to make sure your stream is good. Personally I hate working Saturday. Lately I've been working more during the week so that I can avoiding working Saturday. If I really have to work Saturday I will try to make sure that I only have to hit a low goal so that I'm not stuck on cam all day.

I don't quite understand what has happened within the last 6 months to a year on SM. Honestly, I used to be at about 35%-45%+ of my time in Private or Exclusive chat; now I can't even break 10% (that's if i'm lucky).
I cam full-time, charge decent rates (5.99/7.99), I have been on SM for SIX YEARS somewhat consistently, I am in Pornstar and BBW category (small bbw, well proportioned, I attract a lot of dude who like em thick) and ALWAYS have great placement.
It took my six hours last night to make $42. I've been online 12 hours in the past two days and all I have made is $110. That's way below minimum wage.
Whatever SM did or didn't do is effecting my money and therefore, their money!
I understand everyone is like "oh i can work from home. oh i can set my own hours. oh i get paid to lay around naked and fuck myself."
For me, and many others like me, the more and more I cam, the less and less I make and it is making me HATE STREAMATE and HATE CAMMING. If I made more money, I wouldn't feel this way. I genuinely used to enjoy camming and loved my customers (and I still love my customers WHEN I get them).
Maybe SM needs to change their format or something. Get rid of GOLD shows! I'm tired of these cheap ass guys that started FLOODING the site after SM launched gold shows. However, I know that isn't entirely SM's fault. The girls spending all their time in Free Chat with their tits, ass and pussy out don't help. The girls doing 10 minute shows for $1 while fucking every single orifice at the same time don't help.
I seriously wonder how many models have stopped camming on SM because of these issues. I personally can name about 20 models who used to make BANK with SM and have left in the past few months.
I've worked on most chat platforms (CB, SM, MFC, Jasmin) and i preferred SM when I started six years ago and I refuse to work on token sites because they just leave a bad taste in my mouth. I don't give away anything for free, not my pussy, my tits, my ass or my time and I am not into letting hundreds of guys watch me while only a few actually pay.
The benefits of camming for me what been 1) Being able to go to school 2)Being able to hit big goals 2)Being able to be at home with my fur-children and be a good little housewife 3)Pursue other passions while making a decent income. However, all the financial benefits are no longer being met.
My car payment is almost 30 days past due, rent is due in a week, I need groceries, car insurance is late, cell phone bill is late. I work full-time on SM and no longer make a livable wage. My income is about 25% of what it used to be and therefore only 25% of my bills are getting paid.
I only share this because I know of many other girls who are sitting on cam at 3 am, like myself, waiting for some guy to take pity on them and take them into private for a grand total of three minutes and are in the same exact boat.
Thankfully for me, I am well educated (like many girls on SM) and have had great job experiences and therefore can get a job that pays a livable wage.
Second interviews with two companies on Monday and Tuesday. Should have paychecks by August 15th.
Looks like SM has lost another model.
6 years down. 2 weeks to go.
Peace out SM.

I'm just worried if this is a sign of more glitches to come, because I'm about to put in a full day of camming. Hoe well.

Same boat here!! Seems like every month my money has gone to practically non existent. For example tonight i logged on at 2am and it's 7:15am here now and i have made $37 fucking dollars on SM. BBW category, also did BBW Porn. Huge following. And not a mother fucking penny. I can barely make rent at this point. I am struggling to make 500 left for rent in 8 days. SM is shit for me now, Trying back and forth with IM live but the guys on there the first thing they say to u is Istanbul baby?

Whatever the fuck once I make rent this month, I am done camming. I need something that is going to help me actually make a living. I have excellent equipment and internet. The site is shit. Sorry but no rose colored glasses for me. It really is going to shit.

In not a BBW and I identify with everything said. I've had a great experience camming but something has shifted and maybe it's just a combo of Not enough customers, affiliates greedily snatching our content with no idea how to market it without exploiting the industry. But I have to work hours that got me OUT of the business I was in before. Long hours, every day of the week.

In order to break 1k on cam I have to leave about 20 hours of my week to work hard at 1k. Shaking ass, selling ass, trouble shooting my pixelated ass...u get the point.

So I have to ask myself if I was getting paid more years ago to pour beer...taking less to get my videos ripped and SM being a non existent entity for support issues seems like a poor deal.

Because it is.

I have so much anxiety getting online these days that I have to limit my hours for my own sanity. This is a side gig and it became one before a lot of us were preparing for it. But I personally got into camming to make more than minimum wage. At this point, it's so hot or miss my averages are just slightly above it. 1 $150 shift is great...but divided amongst 3 or 4 hours, not so great.

In also tired of doing SM favors and streaming for longer than I personally want to because it fully staffs their website and makes them look awesome but there's no business for the models online.

Don't make the mistake of getting hungry for money and doing gold shows if you don't want your videos ripped. Affiliates pay for GS and if you wanna end up on tube sites this is the first way to do it. Don't upset yourself for $35 TAKE HOME. Yes that's if you get your $100 countdown.

I've scanned models rooms and seen loads of tits,ass, and pussy, one girl doing coke and another smoking what I think was meth( it definitely wasn't weed) .I'm trying hard to get away from SM but indie is totally hit or miss for me so unless that changes I'm going to have to get a regular job which is hard due to some personal issues. I do clean a house regularly as a side job so maybe I can pick up a few more or something.

07-24-2016, 09:59 AM
Does anyone else feel as though the traffic/money issues are related to us switching to 1280x720?
Granted, I've only been on SM for almost 3 years I think so I don't have experience with the site prior to that, this is just the correlation I've seen.
As soon as we went with the higher settings all the problems started with customers getting disconnected, shows not going through, video not loading, video having terrible artifacts, sound issues, lag, the list goes on and on. I truly feel as though a lot of guys can't load our feeds to a satisfactory enough level.
I live in a big city with the best internet package available, but if I try to watch a cam on SM not hardwired my experience is extremely sub-par. Lagging/freezing/choppiness, just really....not good. It's perfectly fine to expect your models to be hardwired, but asking a dude with a boner to hardwire in order to jerk off is just not going to happen. Not to mention how many dudes are on mobile.

I don't think it's just the BBW girls... Everyone is having the same problem.
The only girls doing well are the ones who have built up a supply of countless regulars who they can depend on to meet their goals. However, all the girls who are still going good, I bet you, still aren't making what they used to.

All my regulars left when the site got retarded.

RIP to the good old Streamate days. I would log on to get at least 30 dollars in a half hour. Effortlessly.
RIP to the good customers that were respectful
RIP to when gold shows were worth your time
RIP to when I half assed my way for money.
RIP to Streamate. Sinking ship. If you feel like I'm wrong, then I'm sorry. I feel like it's a sinking ship. They can still bring it back if they fixed things. Come on Streamate, fix things!

Well after a break after my Confidence got knocked out of me I was hoping all the issues had been sorted out. I notice the new encoder is better but its still causing a memory leak and activating compressed system memory to eat up my cpu. Uninstalling or trying again was more stable but version 14 still has its issues.

Until the day they make $0, SM won't give a damn.

I freaked out when my SM traffic and $ went down. But there ARE other sites out there. There IS indy. Yes, indy is HARD. I work my ass off to get every indy show. The extra % I get is the $ I used to pay to SM for traffic and infrastructure. Good things come to those who hustle. I don't mean to be a bitch or anything, but no, you can't just log on and expect to bank any more. You have to work for it. If you don't want to go to the mountain, then you have to count on SM to bring the mountain to you. They've proven over and over that they're coming up empty on that promise. Time for plan B, ladies.

Until the day they make $0, SM won't give a damn.

I freaked out when my SM traffic and $ went down. But there ARE other sites out there. There IS indy. Yes, indy is HARD. I work my ass off to get every indy show.

THIS. This is why I want to get away from the free chat trap and work on doing indy camming along with PSO. I'm just waiting to get in with CMD and LCMS. It's such a wait. But, I know I could do it on my own too with a site or adult payment processor.

Sadly I can identify with just about everything you said. I'm trying to hang in there though.

So do I. This site is fighting an uphill battle.

I used to love love love camming on here.

Now I get anxious all day before I decide to log on.

I know a few models who actually left the industry... very popular models..and some who are thinking about finding something else besides camming.

I'm one of them.. I went to school over the year and im almost done. I'll still cam... but its gonna be nice not just relying on camming anymore

Same here girl! There is nothing wrong with change and transition. But there is something wrong with being unhappy and not doing what you love. Or forcing something that doesn't work.

I know just what you mean by this. After four years in the industry I decided to quit and really build up my photography business. I did well with photography but found that I missed being on cam so I came back in the spring. It just seems very hard to make a buck on cam now. I will say that not needing it to pay the bills helps me to not be so freaked out about it. I agree that there is nothing wrong with change and transition, sometimes the hard times can put us on to a path that will be even better for us. Often we stay, well because even if it sucks, it is known. Wishing everyone the very best.

I stay because it beats a vanilla minimum wage job. And it works around another job I am building on, but most likely won't be fruitful. I like being on MY schedule and not some flunky bosses open and close bullshit schedule.

I have been camming for 6 plus years. I am on my way out. I am working on building my own business. Congrats to the other ladies that are moving on.
