Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Was wondering what has been going on the past week with dudes not even saying hi.....it appears that my screen looks black for some guys when they come in my room, using SMconnect. I kicked one semi-reg bc i thought he just was being rude, but he messaged me and told me what was going on.....which explains a lot. How tf am I supposed to make money like that? As much traffic as Ive had, Id probably have been doing good if half of them could fuckin see me.

I use to hate videos. but I ripped cam shows and that would bring in extra money using clips4sale and MV
Im not saying to do vid.clips.
Im just saying it is extra cash
i didnt edit I miss being able to record camshows using smb (the newest encoder made by sm)
extra minutes is extra money. I just though of that :)

I hear you. Editing can be time consuming. Oh! So glad Sunday was good for you. Makes up for today then. On Sundays I can make anywhere between $300-$400 in a 6 hr shift. It feels as if I'm busy the whole time.
The last two Sundays? No way. Two Sundays ago I stayed on 6 hrs and made a sad $67. Then this Sunday I gave up after 3.5 hrs making only $26.
It had me on the verge of saying fuck this contest & fuck camming this week. Haha. But today the footguys have found me and today has been, thank goodness, great despite a dead AF room.

I loose connection while i cam with SMConnect, i just got on cam & it happened 2 times in about 10 mins, it's just disconnecting me, anyone else? Dont think it's me but the site but i need to know if u guys have this too so i switch to SMB, maybe is more stable?!

It disconnected me twice during my last hour.

I've been streaming 5.3 hrs with SMConnect Web Encoder and I've been disconnected 4 times. Legit: annoying AF!

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Now that my internet is back to full capacity, Ill be back to agree with disconnects being sm fault
SM low key abused me as everything was the models fault back in the day
Computer not good enough
internet not good enough
Now I think its all my fault and try to fix the damn internet and bless my cam-room but before I complain the problem is fixed making my complaint worth nothing
I stay on top of everything so its not my fault. never was
sound like damn https://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-l...ons-ii/3506378

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
ffs, my stream quality has been TERRIBLE this evening. i've run a couple of speed tests and re-set my router a bunch of times - seems it's faltering both at home and also on the website because even though my upload speed improved my stream is still dogshit. SO frustrating, tonight's my only real chance to work towards the target for the rest of the week and what good is it putting in 25 hours when your customers can't even frickin see you?! UGH.
-
Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
^^Right. Speed tests verify I'm ok. And resetting my router hasn't helped the vid resolution and bitrate dropping drastically. I've been refreshing the page too. I'm trying to troubleshoot these things. It's beyond my control like Erika has pointed out. It's quite frustrating.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Terrible, terrible week, not making shit tonite, cant take it anymore, i logged off, SMC was glitchy, SMB was dead, for me these contests are always trouble!

Got me wonder if all these generic users 'users868675' are bots. I have not had one say hi to me, tip or spend. I usually block most but now I'll block them all.
I think if they sign up through white labels and don't choose a name, depending on which site, they either get the "user" name or "temp_nickname". I've had both talk and spend money. It's rare, but occasionally it does happen.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
This week has been a total shit show. Saturday was the only night that was semi-okay and it was still horrible compared to most of my Saturdays. The rest of the days have been just ridiculous. I haven't even broken $200 yet for the week.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
Yesterday I had a “user1234” take me private and they never said a word. I just sat there and did nothing! Easiest money ever made, but it was so weird.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I emailed SM with no reply back yet. Its nothing huge but its annoying. I'm being offered "priority placement" for using SMconnect but if I use SMB, I'm still in the exact same spot so no, I am NOT receiving priority placement by using connect. Nothing has changed for me but I've noticed and have heard from others, that they have in fact moved up pages by using connect compared to SMB so why is it only priority for some but not everyone? I hate being lied to like that.

Yes but I've mainly been using connect cause I like it much more then SMB but if I switch over to SMB, I am in the exact same spot as I am when I use connect where as other models would go back pages if they switched over to SMB. So they are forced to use connect for better placement. It doesnt matter which one I use, I am not receiving priority placement. I'm in the exact same spot.

if you're using SMB C2C Beta (ie the new one) you'll get priority to - thats why you're not changing cause both methods give you priority

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
You get priority placement from using 3 things, SMC, SMB and Neon. It should be the same spot for all of those.
As for what other models say, it depends on their specs. Maybe SMB wasn't so great for their connection and it was fluctuating the quality of streaming. Don't rely heavily on what you read on forums. People are subjective and can project a misleading opinion.
Not to mention, during a time, SMB was full of errors with placement, by throwing girls far back on pages. So that might be one of the reasons also.
When SMB was good (without errors), I had the same position as on SMC. Again, keep in mind is hard to accurately compare positions. Your time online, money, ratings and other stats will fluctuate, which will impact your placement.
EDIT: If you truly wanna see your priority placement, switch to desktop streaming (from the flash page) or OBS. You'll end up on page 8-9 or even worse.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
^^^ This and it also depends on what resolution SMC picks up from ur camera, here i get 1920x1080 which is huge while with SMB C2C i streamed with 720p, sure i could stream with 1080p as well but i was thinking it was too much as i have an i5 desktop pc but no, i can do that too on SMB and my pc handles it very well same like on Connect (i tested everything around).
Resolution matters as well, everything matters but yes, like princess said, SMB C2C & SMConnect have both priority placement, they not different.

Money wise I'm qualified for bonus.

Re: STREAMATE - Venting, Complaining, Discussing site issues
I suddenly stopped getting any traffic at all starting with yesterday. Tried SMB and SMConnect, I'm still at the top of the first page either way but getting 7 potentials at most, totally empty chatroom most of the time. Took me 15 hours to make $100 yesterday - what the everloving fuck.
