I haven't been asked that since ImLive, trolls. I'd either ignore and say "Yes." just to see their reaction which most likely will be leaving your room.

I'm sure we all get it.

I also have a new regular called translover or something and he doesn't even talk about me being trans. Weird.

I've got the same stats, but on Chrome and Edge my stream is good. Might want to try refreshing.

I have been on chrome, refreshed, rebooted you name it......just gets stuck on that damn face recognition software. This been going on all day, never even got to cam.

Tell them you can pretend!

I am Trans and get asked all the time if I'm actually Trans or they'll say there's no way I'm Trans. What does Trans supposed to look like? LOOOOOOL
Yeah, I decided to be in the Trans category just for attention.

Just because we're on this topic, I love wearing this shirt out in public so much. In broad daylight and big crowds. It gets me high seeing so many folks triggered. It gives me such joy seeing a lot of panties twisted. Ignorant and closed-minded people can't stand it when Trans people have the AUDACITY to leave the house and OWN it!

Never. They only ask if they feel you look masculine (to them) to try and neg you. Ignore.

True! Ignore is best.

Even when you look the furthest thing from masculine they still do it. I was peeking in to a top row host to see if the site was glitching (she looks super feminine) and some idiot was saying that to her. It's just another troll. They will say literally anything they think will get a reaction (which is what they want).

[roseforarose]

anyone got a long delay/lag between them and the customers tonight? I've also got a bunch of them having connection issues! I'm hoping that's the cause of my low traffic lol

[skyfall]

I am non US model and I stream on SM for 10 years now. I've had a break from streaming for 6 months and now I can see the huge drop of traffic especially for non US models (actually I've started noticing this since they started to sort traffic by countries). I used to make decent money and now I am wondering if SM is still worth my effort because I can barely earn 10$. I can see that SM is worth only if you are US model because you get best traffic. SM was my main stream of income for years and I don't know if I am doing something wrong that I don't get any paid viewers. I have pretty high price (8.89/min private) maybe that's the reason what do you think? or Sm just sucks for non US models now?

How long have you been streaming since you came back? Do you have English selected as a language you speak in your profile?

[skyfall]

almost 2 weeks now. I have only english set up in my account. I hate when people from my country come to my chat because they are cheap as fuk. Do you have any advices?

[kortneykay]

I agree with you. But I also noticed that too trans wearing makeup and looking ultra feminine themselves sometimes men will neg Women if they think you have too much makeup on. Many people still to this day say "Oh my God you're wearing too much makeup you look like a tra**y." It's all negging and they're being haters, usually. And some men are being rudely honest. I had a guy friend asked me if one of my female friends was trans and to be honest she does look like she could be but I told him that was rude and that she wasn't. Again she wears a lot of wild makeup and she has boyish features but its normal as humans either look like their mother or father and we are made of both man and woman So what can you do just say you're not attracted to that person and move on.

I implied to Liz that the same thing is happening to me because I am a US model based in Europe. Liz got back to me and streammate told her that if I log on more I'll make more money so this week I will see what happens if I put in 60 hours but I absolutely believe it's due to me being out of the US and then changing their Stats in traffic. I don't think you're crazy at all I was online for 8 hour multi shifts and made $17 last week. Considering that I've been on this site since 2013 I know that it's dropped horribly low I guess I will just promote my cammodels link and keep most of my money from now on. I would try contacting Liz because streammate replied back with traffic stats a chart and much more information for me including my percentages.


They said: "It looks like kk recently came back from a multi month break. There isn’t a lot of data to work with, but her impressions look good over all since she started streaming again. Regarding her placement, coming back from break and not being a frequent streamer will both affect this. The performer should consider streaming more consistently and for longer periods of time as her metrics show that the more she streams the more she makes. This will also help with her placement."



"Please note that placement can appear differently to different users depending on how they are viewing the grid. Because of this, evaluating one's own placement can be problematic. Who she sees where on the grid will vary depending on if she is a logged in/logged out user, if she's on VPN, and the types of performers she's clicked on or searched previously."

I have always had inconsistency issues however they are right I do need to work more so I'm going to do my part. At the same time I wish they would admit that traffic has definitely plummeted in the past nine years since I joined, and they failed to admit that they were having issues on the site previous to a contest week that could have definitely made it harder for everybody but that's a conversation for another time this is another era after all. Hopefully their suggestions can help you as well.

I just wrote something about neggers in the "camming pet peeve" thread. I feel that this phenomeno has increased lately, I literally ban one and after another. So many toxic men lately, I just... can't. I miss the "show bobs and vagene" guys at this point.

I haven't camming, but have live streaming on another platform. I just thank them then ignore.

I have seen some gorgeous trans women and it's actually a compliment lololll.

you go girl!!! like paris hilton would say "thats hot"

[MissAdriana]

This is what I love/hate about camming just from my own recordings it's true for me too, I know the more I work the more I make but there are only so many hours in a day so I am going to cap off somewhere.

I feel like that's why I will never place in a contest since it takes me 40hrs to make what some are making in 10

I hate feeling like I have no life but work and since the pandemic what is the point in even making money if we cant even spend it on experiences? Where I live all we are allowed to do is work right now and it drives me nuts and feels never ending

as domme only, they have a trans dick sucking fantasy and I grab my strapon...usually resolves the issue, regardless of intention on the asker's part

I get this semi frequently and always assume they are attempting to troll by saying I look like a man but I just say thanks and that they are in the wrong section if they are interested in penises.

My bandwidth is red and says Limited" & the highest my stats will go is 960x 560 but is often much less when before it was full HD. What is going on ? I can't keep anyone in my room.

[Marina Starr]

Trans or not, the guys that spent on you don't care and that's all that matters. To quote what Winston Churchill said:
"You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks."

I think it's fucked up that women's bodies and looks are being policed all the time. It is because women are still treated as second class.

I also wanted to add that I used to get called 'that's a man' (and still do) and all kinds of names and slurs and that used to really upset and hurt me. I feel really proud that with the help of therapy and self-grown, I am now at a really good place where I have peace and can just let it roll off my back. A big part of that is from being a Hoe. Selling pussy really elevated my confidence. What society and people shamed you for is exactly what is celebrated of you on cam. It's very freeing to be comfortable in your own skin and live life on your own terms.
This is something that I'm sure a lot of you can relate. Self-love and confidence transcend gender.

yeah! this is great! ty for all comments on that! @MarinaStarr, you rock! xx

They do this thinking it's going to be the biggest insult to you, and it seems to me like the more conventionally attractive women get it the most. Like because guys don't have anything that they feel they can actually make fun of them for appearance-wise they go with that. Obviously guys who are seriously into trans women know how to find them. Why they think it's an insult in this day and age with the visibility trans women have idk. Like they can be as stereotypically pretty and conventionally attractive as any cis woman can be sooo.......??

I still don't have that update to the bandwidth thing, however my bitrate was absolutely abysmal today! I have good internet so even with a low bitrate my stream is usually okay. Okay it was red my whole stream and I had several guys tell me I was super blurry, even though it was saying I was streaming in 1080p and it was excellent :/ (despite the red bitrate?)

I ended up logging off bc I couldn't get any shows due to the quality
