TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
Just noticed this, and thought it was worth mentioning.
When you are in a TV Gold show countdown, you are automatically bumped WAAAAY up in placement. It puts me in the number one slot if I am doing a countdown! (I am usually in the 3rd to 4th row.) I'm not sure how it works, if multiple girls are doing TV shows, if it bumps everyone to the first row, or if it just gives you a boost....but it definitely bumps you up, which gives you more visibility....always a good thing.
Also, I have noticed that the more I use the break button, the WORSE my placement gets. Even if I have just done a long pvt or successful gold show, if I am abusing that button, I drop.
Anyone else seen the same? Comments? Thoughts?

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
From what I was told, only one girl can do a TV broadcast at a time.
I've also noticed that when I use the break button a lot it drops me down. I think it's because it's still counting you as online and streaming, but you are not making any money. So it hurts that ratio.

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
I'm not sure about the placement..I did notice that when they requested for me to do a gold show, my placement was immediately bumped, even though I declined. I'm too afraid to ask for the break button lol. I want to stay as low profile from the SM mods as possible. Speaking of SM, I was pissed when they offered me 41 dollars for a 10 minute show!!! I usually do my shows for 200

You might have the goal set to 200 but they offer you your average of the last 30 days. So over the last 30 days your gold shows have only averaged 41... that's why they offered you that. It's all automatically generated. The only thing they can control is the count down length, which does change how much you are offered because they consider the pre show as part of the overall show.

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
I have a break button related question. My regular has sworn that sometimes when I take a "break" it shows I'm in private. Does it show the break message or 'In private' to customers? I also never see other girls shown to be on a break when I enter their rooms. I love having the break button because it allows me to run to the restroom, change, etc. without streaming an empty room or have to restart the Encoder.

If they are logged in to a members account, it will say something like "I'm taking a break, I'll be back in a few minutes" or something along those lines.
If you are NOT logged in to a members account, it will look like you are in private.

I am starting to wonder how true this is or if something has changed. I had a TV request pop up for $82 - $7 buy in, 8 minute show. I denied it. Immediately I received another pop up for $142 - same buy in - same amount of time. I thought it was strange. I still denied it because I wasn't in the mood to hustle for a show that night.
I had always noticed that the averages seemed spot on in the past. Especially when I started getting $16 buy-ins for 8-11 minute shows from doing a few "goldshow privates" for one of my regs that totally thew my averages off. But that night it really baffled me when they came back with a higher goal immediately after I declined the first one.

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
I use my break button after every show and private (30 seconds it just not enough time). I was wondering at first if it hurt placement but I haven't noticed any moving down because I use it.

I've always questioned it... but the last time I publicly questioned it on this forum I was emailed by someone at SM who corrected me. So, at this point I just go with it being auto-generated like they say.
But, I have been getting an offer like $89 goal, $4 buy in 6 min show with a super short 5 minute count down. I NEVER do count downs that short, that's why I think the count down is something they CAN alter, and I was told that they count the count down as part of the total show. So in this example, the goal was only $89 because the "show" was only 6 mins + 5 mins rather than say, 6 mins + 13 mins which would have resulted in a bigger goal offer.
But then again, I've also had an offer of one amount, and then an hour later an offer of a different amount with all other variables the same. So, yes I still wonder as well.

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
I noticed the same about the break button. I'm trying to avoid using it much. Sometimes I just sign out and back in if i need longer.

I wondered about that with the break button - but it definitely drops me further than just sitting in free chat and not making money! For example, I seem to find that if I take a "break" with the button for more than a minute or so, it will drop me at least one full row, often two. If I take a "break" for under a minute, it will only drop me by a row. But if I sit in free for ten minutes making nothing, I may drop one place, or nothing at all!
Obviously, some of that is to do with comparisons to the other girls on at the same time, but I really feel like earning nothing in free chat keeps your placement higher than using the break button.
Oh how I wish I could peek inside the algorithms of the site!!

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
I'm going to have to pay more attention to the break button thing - I am a placement checking nut and I have not noticed anything with the break button if it does indeed drop placement a little I will use it less.

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
Where the hell is this break button? I was looking for it last time I was online and couldnt find it, I just log off if I need a short break. /:O
Also I have been noticing for T.V GS's the GOLD amount has been dropping from when I first accepted. Bullshit!!..>:(
I remember getting offered like $300 + for 6-8 min shows now I get offered around $100-160 ish per show with the same length of time.
I almost feel like im gunna try rejecting them and see if they higher the goal, lmao !!! }:D screw that bitches !!

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
From a programming standpoint I would think they would need to have multiple countdowns going for a variety of lengths of time to keep the "live" shows coming back to back - that may account for the variety of count down times offered at any given moment - when one show ends they need another to rotate into its place -- i would think the producers job it a little like an air traffic controller lol

Re: TV Gold Shows, Break Button and Placement
I wondered about the break button, because my time spent online percentage seemed kind of low compared to what I thought it was ... I used to use the break button after every private, but now if I need more time to get dressed, I either get out of the camera's view or turn around while I'm putting my bra/shirt on. I haven't noticed it affecting my placement, however ... but then again, I don't check my placement much. Usually just when I sign on, then maybe a few hours into my shift.

If you are offered a TV show and you accept, you are obligated to perform the show regardless of what you reach toward the goal because they are going to pay you the full goal amount anyway. Say they offer you $100 for your goal, and you only reach $25 during the count down, they are going to automatically pay you the rest of the $75. It might take a couple hours to show in your earnings but it will show up as TV Compensation.
