At times it makes you wonder if all that matters are the top 2 rows of models? The middle to end rows on page 1 almost have no traffic/talkers. And not to ruffle anyone's feathers, (I'm innocently asking) but I keep hearing that SM was sold to LJ (thus all the contest & leaderboard) .. As a cam girl it'd be nice to know theses things..
I was wondering if anyone had anymore information about streamate being sold off to live jasmine or a different company?
Also why is there such a consistent dip in traffic / income for so many models? Myself included?
(Sorry christy for posting your comment on blast like this)
Re: Was streamate sold to live jasmine?
Unless it was recent, then no. I'm digging deep into my memory here, but from my recollection, there was one guy from LJ that is now running SM. He jumped ships about a year ago. I'm sure there are girls here who can give you better insight than me.
Re: Was streamate sold to live jasmine?
Actually it was MindGeek that was going to buy SM but it fell apart. Pretty sure they arent sold but I can ask people I know that work at LJ. LJ has the most income and traffic out of all the cam sites, so not sure if they did buy them that would effect traffic in a negative way.

I believe it when you say they have the most traffic. They have lots of pop ups on tube sites and tons of beggars. But they actually have the most income? I was kinda shocked to hear that. What about MFC? Perhaps SM or some other cam site.
Interesting.

You are right.Laszlo Czero came from Jasmin to SM last year among with studios and ideas.He is now European representative for SM and I believe that the contests idea it's coming from him.Also the idea to make different page for each geographic zone ( I am referring about how the placement is made based by zone that guests are located)

Yeah, a bad idea actually. Its a sneaky way to get as much models online as possible, usually during "busy" times (New Year, Easter, etc.), which probably leads to more profit for the site, but less for particular model, specially if you are not "top".

So guys will see models that are in their time zone? Is this going to give away where the models zone is? Or are they going to put me where my fake location is. Hmmm. What about vps custies use?

Not time zone but geographical area Mare, an european guy will by default see more european models mixed with models from other regions on main page when he loads SM site, if he wanna see american models let's say he will have to search specifically for them, on site there is a search function -> Search by Region, that is displaying few options to search, ever checked that out? It was always there but the change is now (since a year now already), members get to see mainly the models in their area mixed with the girls from other areas but in a lower percentage, i also noticed top girls on SM show up in the 1st few rows no matter where u looking from (checked with vpn with different ip's from different regions).
So dont worry, u only show as being in US, nothing more than that :)
Re: Was streamate sold to live jasmine?
Oh nooooooooo, getting ideas from lj, is bad bad for us. No wonder the sweatshop atmosphere on this site lately.
So, let's see what matches so far:
High quality equipment and video requirement? Both sites takes the most CPU and internet power, and require special broadcaster. Check.
Discouraging split camming. Check ( If i couldn't slipcam, i would make a better wage at Walmart theses days, so NO.)
Suggesting long work hours, and bottom prices: $1.99. Check.
Illegal show requests; pedos, vomit, time wasters, rude members. Check.
Lj studio performers immigrated on this site, bringing down prices. Check.
Ineffective ban features. Check.
Privileges, features of site given out to only a few that know about them, or ask. Check.
TV shows, be famous, be a Star! check.
Next step is they will reduce the percentage, based on broadcast quality excuse.
Well, if not sold, but the collaboration is ON Big time! Hey Laci, don't be so greedy! Can't believe he got in americans pants. Not good news for us, independent workers, unfortunately. Anyone who worked lj long time, knows the working atmosphere on his site. Corrupt, greedy, sweatshop studios. Not good!
Good spenders will be turned off of this atmosphere and overworked, sweatshop girls, and leave site.

Yes they make the most income. Xbiz has a great magazine, Xbiz World that you can order chalk full of industry stuff. It said LJ had over half the traffic of all cam sites amd made the most financially. They do a lot of articles on the cam industry in there.

One thing they can bring from LJ and they don't bring : support
