so excited for this best of 1000 contest.. yayy going to give it my all this week
Girls, is anyone of you in Europe using cosmo payment? how good they are? Thanks for any info.
This is a good idea, a while a go I asked Liz to do it for me but I had a huge influx of UK guys asking me if I was in London and trying to meet up, it really sucked so i had to come back to my OG country ugh... never thought of using the US, i think i missed the opportunity lol





^^^ Ladies, they wont change the display country anymore, they want us to use our real location OR some of the countries they list in the Display country page, there are a few options for u to choose from.
They now wont allow country change thorough VPN either so yeah, many of us are affected but asking Liz for favoritism wont work anymore.
The matter was too much discussed here in open forums by the models, how they do, what they do therefore SM figured out they should change things, it was announced they will do these changes.
I am in the same boat so yeah, trying to work with the options i have.









On the topic of geographic restrictions
Geographic restrictions allow you to block people in certain locations from seeing your profile and viewing your stream. This can help you feel more safe while streaming if you have privacy concerns.
Be aware that using geographic restrictions removes you from being seen by non-logged in visitors. Your account will also not be used in promotional materials. This limits your exposure to potential customers.
To set up a restriction, look under your profile picture on your Dashboard and click on the "Geographic restrictions" link. From here you can choose cities, regions, or entire countries to block. Streamate members from these areas will not be able to see you. We recommend blocking the smallest possible area you're comfortable with, such as a city instead of an entire state.
You can read more about how geographic restrictions work on the Streamate help site: http://streamatehelp.com/geographic-restrictions/

Congrats on fucking all the expat performers in favor of a few xenophobic customers. Now my gf, who was born in the US and is fully bilingual doesn't want to log in, because the quality of traffic we started getting believes we will do anything for money and the word no doesn't exist. Not to mention the immediate crash in earnings.
Yes, same here. why then they don't give a solution? many girls got affected. Is so nice to have the freedom like in other sites to choose where you wanna be from... Anyways, if a customer doesn't like an accent or whatever, he can just jump to other rooms. and the model who claim to be from a country where the main language is English but she doesn't speak? well, her lost. But for real, is enough already that some of us are getting only 30% of our earnings just For making part of some countries, At least other sites pay to their models same percentage, 30%, 35% or 50% to all, is not like: oh, because you live here we will give you only 30%, why not be fair and pay 35% to all of us? We work the same hours, we have families to feed, taxes etc etc doesn't matter where you are located, all of us should have the same rights. Why other sites do that and not SM? and now controlling the place where we need to be from. yeah, I feel judged.
You are absolutely right. It is completely unfair to treat us like that and not giving us the option to choose our display country. We already have much stress we don’t need another on top of that. From time to time we have to deal with bitrate issues, zero traffic, competition which is already hard, lower percentage in our earnings etc.etc. I have asked them and received many different answers from different representatives on why they are applying this rule now. None of them answers are reliable nor make sense to me. When I insisted and argued their answers, they treated me like I do not worth their time and efforts to answer back or give a solution. This is how they treat their long time hard working partners. I have always been patient with all the issues we had to face and used to look my own business not very active on here. But this time? I won't let it go like that..
I refuse to be in the porn industry with all the risks and the negative explosion and offer underpriced shows, just because no one will pay decent rates to a non Top foreigner Model for their services. Most of you know what I mean….
I want my US location back, as I have never caused any problems to the site because I am faking it and because this is how I hustle and I can’t change my hustle every time they decide to change something on their site. For those reasons, I refuse to work for a site that after years of hard work is treating us like garbage, mess with our potential earnings and forcing us to re establish ourselves on it, something that takes from months to years. My loss, their loss.
Any of you ladies that have the same feelings, you are welcome to private message me and discuss about it and see if we can find a solution

^^^ like porn customers care about authenticity.
Focus more on what you want than on what you don’t want

![]()
I have big birthday party coming up next week Friday and Saturday for celebration, staying in nice hotel
And such and I kind of wanna go maybe [email protected] this I just do whatever I can in the days I got ..
Regarding locating change I know it suck . ;( nothing can’t be done unless u have ID of another country. I worked under RU for couple weeks until I load my British ID abd to be honest I was still making pretty much same $ as I used to make with US and GB so I dunno. The difference only is that I got lots of hackers with their stupid deals and lots of Russian text in my chat which did my head lol however still same hour $ outcome no matter US, GB, RU


On the topic of geographic restrictions
Customers caring about authenticity that's what they want us to believe and is BS! The facts are The both the United States and the United Kingdom are racially and ethnically diverse population, with over 300 languages being spoken within their borders.
The United States; well let's begin with the fact that United States does NOT have an official language. Also, the most spoken languages in the United States are English, Spanish followed by Chinese, Tagalog, Vietnamese, French and Cajun and then others. The United States has 14.4% immigrants and 8.6% of the United States population did not have a firm grasp of the English language
United Kingdom official language is indeed English but the net migration rate for the U.K. in 2021 is 2.903 per 1000 population.
1.3% of the population of England and Wales could speak English but not well, and 0.3% of the population reported that they could not speak English at all and polish was the most commonly spoken language after English.
So what that authenticity means really? I find it hard to believe that Stramate decision was based on its customer's request.
Why! Well for starters you as a chat host don't sell anything physical, you are not allowed to do so, and each day you go online you have to check that box where you agree that you won't ever meet face to face with streamate customers.
The only costumers that get upset about girl locations are the ones who want real-life session or they are In love and looking to date the girl. If the language skill and accent was the real problem, they could just test our English skills or well..I'm sorry but one gets a clear idea about that after Hi, how are you in free chat. The problem here is advertising as " meeting locals " and give them the idea that there is more than we offer.
If the customer wishes to have a born and raised 100% pure-race American/ Brit trust me he can't be fooled by me. Is a free chat-based system, he can see and hear me.
Also, in the year 2021 one can be from anywhere and live everywhere they please (ok saying that I remember is covid time you cant easily do that lol ), but you get my idea ethical and cultural diversity is the norm.
My story:
I managed almost a decade in the industry without outing myself. I refused several times to be nominated for awards and when I was I asked to be taken down, I have chosen to not be displayed in the internal contests. Much like the client, I'm there to escape the mundane reality, not to make it part of the show. I don't want to be a porn star, I'm not on streamte to promote my club I'm dancing at.
I have perfect command of the English language, do I have an accent and I don't hide that.. I'm running my shows neither on love story nor on the promise of real-life encounters.
Why does it bother me then?
The privacy
I am from a western country a country with a good clientele but small and incredibly religious. banning countries with good buying power is never a good idea! So I can virtually live somewhere else and accept these customers without constantly looking over my shoulder and create shows out of anxiety.
But you get few choices to cover that up! Yes, I do and the options are given to me are literally the shittiest based on god knows what. They aren't countries that just speak another language, they are countries that literally use another alphabet. Free chat is going to become shitty unmanageable, premium privates are becoming shittily unmanageable with people speaking multiple languages at the time.
The traffic
When you are from mainland Europe you are given shit traffic, and no is not because customers choose that USA/UK option.
For the guests USA ladies are displayed first, followed by Uk then it comes to a mix of other countries. Since I'm from a country that does not provide many hosts my placement would be page 2-3 for guests. When I'm logged in as mainland Europe I have maybe 5-10 guests when I'm logged in as USA/ UK I have constantly over 100. Same me with same skills, same internet same show same damn everything, just a different positioning.
In terms of logged-in customers, I think they see a different display of the hosts first comes the favourites and hosts from the guest country followed by Americans. If I'm logged as USA/ UK within a minute I'm going to have 15-20 people in my room (most of them are not even americans or brits) versus logging in as mainland Europe where I will have 3 minutes at the time until logged in customers are starting to join my room.
In a Europe decimated by COVID, you are doing this move without any prior warning? I'm sorry Streamate this was an ass move and European hosts deserve more respect and consideration for their hard work and their loyalty to the site.
PS. sorry for the long ass post but I needed to get this out of my chest.
My twitter @iamchloeswift



I totally agree with you ladies, I think it's really unfair to pay only 30% for some performers just because they are from a "tier 2" country. If our work is the same quality, then why can't we earn the same? If they want to distinguish, they should do that by the quality of work imo. That 5 percent does matter in the end of the day/week/month.
In addition, when customers see our flags some of them can judge us negatively, like " she surely doesnt speak English, she must be cheap etc." I wish we could choose any country as a displayed country.







I think it's time to prepare a petition.Since we are no longer allowed to use VPN, my earnings have dropped by 99 percent.They never had time to block models that broke the rules but now they have so much time to implement this new option on each account.








This. While I totally understand this from the customer perspective (like, getting a pvt with a model using google translate and barely understanding you isn't the kind of surprise you'd like), the models from the 2nd tier countries are getting the worst kind of viewers. The US/UK/Westen Europe guys who actually have the money will not see us behind the location filters, and the ones looking for models from EE specifically are looking for someone to take advantage of. They act rude and entitled, try scamming us, bully and threaten us, and demand that we do gross, degrading, dangerous or outright illegal stuff (it was when camming under my true location that I was asked if I had a young daughter I could play with on cam, or was told to walk out naked and masturbate in front of my neighbours, or give myself a black eye). So, if SM are doing it this way, they better take our violation reports more seriously and actually take measures against those people, and, for the great justice, give us the means to block them after they've left the chat.
