Nah it wasn't that easy. Had to call Spectrum. Hopefully no more problems holy shit.
update, finished a 3 hour shift, off earlier tonight then usual but everything until 7pm PST seemed mostly normal, some new faces logged in on front pages but saw other North American models on the first page still. Then couldn't find myself upon first glance, was pushed down, front page was fucking up not loading in general. Was getting shows still so it took me a minute but I restarted everything and logged back in. Same thing. When I select, USA models I was usually 2/3row, and down to the bottom of page one with all. But traffic was good and I made money I just was done working. I think guys who have this preference for "Western cammers know to pick that option. It appears more like studios have learned a new way to increase signups, thus more of their models with placement on first page.
It popped in my head while checking that most new sign ups are going to happen because of a certain model or white label, both get extra, both sides promote this, this is probably a big part of that "studio placement". So when you just sign up with everything blocked/redirected this reflects in the options given to the new user. I don't think SM is fond of VPNs in general and think it is likely they can tell the presence of one. Even discounting that being a factor in the options they are giving to the user, we are not what the algorithm tracks. We (for the most part) do not have the same viewing patterns as their prime customers or even spend ENOUGH money to establish what we like. Models are not important "customers". A new account is totally the best way to see unbiased placement, it just has it's own innate characteristics from the start. All accounts are going to be sorted some way.
I'm not saying there isn't something going on with placement, it did go weird for me too after all. It is real easy to fuck this kind of stuff up with just a little bad data in the code, or someone inputs a value wrong. But it likely isn't going to be intentional, like it's not agreed they will have those spots, it's just what the code tells it to look like. I just wish we didn't have to jump through hoops to actually relay this info to support . I would send more info no doubt.
It may just be more models plus sm reducing emphasis on USA models for numerous reasons and that American models including myself are just a little piece of the pie. Perhaps it was overly weighted towards those western models in the first place, and it is now being redirected towards increasing overall profits.
^^^Same I got them back after refreshing a few times.
Day traffic sucked for me these last 2 days, I logged on for like 30 min yesterday during the day and aside from one pvt with a reg it was dead. Just hardly anyone coming into my room so I left. I gave it like 12 minutes during the day today and same thing with $0 so I left and thinking it might be because of baseball decided to try at night and tonight was back to normal. I'm definitely sticking with nights for the rest of the week.
last night was really good for me - solid traffic, gold show goals met, long exclusives, generally pleasant guys. averaged like $90/hour.
tonight... wow. i feel like i'm being targeted by a bunch of 12 year old trolls. i keep getting random guys (with seemingly normal usernames i might add) asking about farts and poop and weird questions like "have you ever pissed yourself while falling off the bed?" also guys posing as women "ooh hi bb i'm a girl too!" (ugh) plus a ton of in and outs without saying a word, but not right away. it's like they stare for a whole minute then leave. i just went several minutes with an empty room which is not the norm for me. i had at least 10+ people cycling through free chat all night yesterday.
i'm at three hours, calling it a night at $43 (which entirely came from pity tips from regs). literally made over 10 times more than that yesterday in five hours. i guess the silver lining is that one great night and one bad night balance each other out, at least. i hope the rest of the week picks back up.
anyone else having issues uploading vids? i try to upload via chrome and it disappears, i tried via my iphone as well and it says fails.
the loading bar in the bottom shows it as loading. and then just disappears!
these are all in the correct format ect.
i have been trying for 2 days now , and i owe people some vids.
any insight ladies?
Yes in fact I posted this same question a few days ago and nobody responded, but I have (possibly) worked it out since. I use Chrome too. When I upload the blue bar starts then disappears so this is what I do. Leave it! After starting the upload I leave it alone for maybe half an hour, these were 15 minute HD vids. Then I come back and go back to the dashboard, then back to the Media Manager and the pending tab. If you are lucky the clip will be there needing action. If it shows as processing, leave it again, then come back a bit later and go back to main dashboard, then back to media manager again. Once it's ready (unsubmitted) you can submit as normal.
After waiting for it to upload, don't go straight to the pending tab. You need to go to the main dashboard then back again to media mgr.
I will say, this didn't always work, sometimes it just disappears. Mostly it did work though and I found the best thing was to upload when I wasn't on cam just so I could leave it to do its thing.
That's my traffic for 3 days. I am online since one hour and a half ago and I am sitting at 0$. I am going bonkers! No matter what I do I don't get traffic (willing to pay) when I have. Long period of time with nothing. Contacted Liz yesterday, another streamate representative too, no one wants to reply and check what the hell is going on.
That piss kink guy was making the rounds last night.
Have you ever been drunk and fallen onto a carpeted floor and then pissed yourself?
I explained that we aren't allowed to talk about that, banned topic, terms of use, payment processors have a nice night etc....
"Yes, but....have you ever pissed into a deep pile carpet after falling over"
:banghead:
No.
I stayed 5 hours, started to pick up in the past one hour and a half and close to low goal. I am in a break but will get back to complete minimum 2 hours more. Jeez, is soothing seeing some traffic and some money hoewer little is.
Don't you hate when you put on a great show only for dudes to rate you 4 star? I block guys that do that shit.
Oh fuck yeeeeeees. Always open the note of each guy jumping in my room ... I saw one that left 4 stars and visited me again. Lol. I say to him sooooo I ll not accept show from you anymore and so you can leave now. Ahah bit childish but ohhhh. Me too. I hate that. Always guy that spend nuts....
Its so insanely dead for me, its the deadest its been for years.
Have they cut promotion or something? Really disappointed. At this point its like im setting here taking abuse and listening to guys talk about their dick for free.
Ive been noticing allot of chaturbate ads on pornhub/tube sites, have they bought out streamates/wheelable spot or something??
Is anyone elses bit rate and RTT going bonkers today? Mine bounces from red to green to yellow to green to red to green its crazy.
I sold a video $0.50 Jul 28, 2021 12:17:59 Video Purchase N/A $1.00.
I don't have ANY videos priced at $1.00. I looked thru video manager, etc.
EDIT: I believe he bought a picture posted on activity feed, but it says video.
My customer account is exclusively promoting Spanish speaking models to me. I have only ever spent on English speaking models but they are all shuffled around in page 3,4,5 and way beyond. When I do go to rooms of the regular front page models its is super pixelated.
I have been having good traffic until today I made almost nothing - horrible traffic. Only thing that changed was that I turned on the new feature for allowing select logged out traffic :/
