    Everytime I try to move away from SM, I get sucked right back in because where ever I ran to, failed. As much as I hate that damn site, its like the only simplistic, straight forward, sign in and go website that I have found that even my pets can figure out with no thumbs.

    LMFAO sister...you're funny. It's good to see your sense of humor although I'm pretty sure you're peeved about how slow it is. I'm taking today off. It's notoriously bad for me, but yesterday was supposed to be good. I started at 7am, took some breaks and covered shifts from 7-10am, 12-2pm, and 3-6pm...BAD all damn day. It's not you. Hang in there. KEEP HANGING!!!

    SM bein a lil bitch right about now. It ain't you. I feel you Sis...hang in there. Get on Giphy and look at all the silly stuff to pass the time. It truly helps to alleviate the frustration I feel when it's so damn slow.

    I'm down about it because I was really focused on being consistent with cam this year and quit my side hustle of Ubering going into the new year. I was soooo proud of myself to have quit and now I literally have to take the next 5 days and Uber myself a car payment/laptop back after I get a loan on it because this single mommy has no savings (my fault for dating an abusive baby daddy that wouldn't let me work cuz now I'm in a hole)! The optimist in me says that I need to just be proud that I have the option to still work in some form and provide for my son and myself, but I'm disappointed to feel like I'm going backwards....it's only 5 days right? If I find the positives in it, it won't be hard...right? LOL getting through things like this is so hard with mental health disorders. So much for my meditation and 55x5 this week in regards to cam.

    Hmm... I am regretting my thought of, 'Work all week because the Superbowl is coming on Sunday'. Online for an hour with no tips, no shows, nadda.
    I popped in to a few other models rooms and the site (Streamate) has been doing that black screen of death with a reload sign to several of them.
    If they are doing site maintenance, I wish they would give us a heads up so we could be more aware and be a little more patient with the users

    Morning shifts are always garbage for me but the number of issues I was having convinced me that the site was having issues. It was really fucking bad. My stream dropped at least 4 times - once during an exclv show. My stream stats were yellow asf. Just ridiculous. Got $20 bucks and an OF subscriber and that's it smh.

    I was beating myself up for not getting online enough this week and giving up after 2 hours of deadness on 2 consecutive days, but if it has been THIS shit everywhere for so many people, it makes me feel a bit better. Now we just hang in there until they all get paid, and we'll be fine. Jeez, end of January sucks.

    I quit! I'm so done with streamate. I'm so sick of camming. I'm bored. I'm lonely. I'm depressed. I'm not making any money. I'm being treated like shit for no reason. I'm sick and tired of it all. I don't know if it's just day shift, but the last 2 weeks have been awful. I can't even take an hour of this crap. Fuck this shit!!!!! I'M OUT!!!

    I feel for you, i would advice anyone that wants to quit and has options to just do it, camming in these conditions can be soo damaging, i feel it on my own skin, i fight depression and anxiety due to how bad it is for me lately, problem is with me i have no options for vanilla jobs and no other better camsite, i am a dinosaur in camming world lol
    Good luck whatever u going to do there xx

    I SUPER freaked out yesterday after cam, but I realized I forgot one thing about this job. You literally will have bad weeks...months (God willing it stops after one month), but you will have trying times. I let myself fall into a trap mentally after going 3 hours with literally no shows/tips and the day before that making $15 in almost 5 hours. I realized that if I had a savings or busted my ass instead of just letting the slow times get to me, my weeks or months of not being as 'on it' as I normally am, wouldn't bother me half as much. Now today I will say, it's been fairly slow. $8 in 2 hours, but you know what. My low goal today is literally $38 and it's the end of the month. I don't expect greatness, but I'm noticing how I woke up optimistic today so much so that money opportunities have been popping up today via skype and regs who have no issue telling me they've fallen in love with my merely because I'm a pleasant person. Pleaseeeeee don't give up ( she says after going berserk yesterday LOL) if you really are done, I understand, but also in these times try to think about how much of a blessing this avenue of work can/has been. Also don't be discouraged in yourself, this damn SM has been glitching like crazy. I've had multiple ppl more often than not over the past week leave because of connection issues. Just do something that makes you happy and keep trying again.

    Camming spoils the shit out of you.
    For those of us who have PTSD and just simply can't get on cam at all and spend days not making money , its good to know you have another income you can do til you can face the cam again.. ya know?

    January is usually the worst month ever, It's when I usually quit cammung because of how slow, and I regret. I've done it 3 years in a row and 2020 won't be another one. This year I will suck up to Streamate being so glitchy and low in traffic.

    I haven't made a single dollar this month on Streamate. Took a week break and I returned to still 6-7 hrs daily with ZERO.

    And you would think the month they get their name out at the AVN's, they would have their shit together.

    So far, 2 hrs, empty camroom with notification sound going off but nobody showing. I will stay on! Can't give up!

    ^^^ Oh that is tough, soo many days and soo many hrs daily w.o a single $ made?! How can u manage that?!
    I cam 2-2.5 hrs and if no business i log off cause i know it'll affect me a lot to keep staying on w.o making money.
    The deadness & boredom are killing me and it shows on my face, after a while i cant stay on anymore but how determined u are to keep going, wow!

    My rates are high, 8.99/9.99 never had any issues is just January is not for me.
    My secret for staying so long is video games. With my new cam room set up I am can only play Switch until I finish my new cam room.
    Time flies when you can get distracted.

    From now on I will dedicate January for clip making and less time on cam. On to February pleasee

    Everyone is entitled to have their feeling and I'd never tell anyone how to feel however I do think that everyone has more than 1 option. There are always other options no matter what the situation is. IMO there's a solution to every problem. Due to the boom of the internet, digital media, social media there are def other options for a career and to make money besides going out and working a 9-5 or camming. IMO there should never be a reason to stay in a situation/environment that's toxic. I don't think there's any job that has the perks of camming but I do think that there are def other things that can provide some of the same perks. Staying self-employed I feel is the way to go and having the cushion of camming makes a transition to something else so much easier. With the amount of tutorials on Youtube, Udemy and other sites (lynda, pluralsight, teamtreehouse) I feel like anyone could find an alternate stream of income/career.

These two things made my day today just worse. I hope I can retire as soon as I finish my diploma and find a job. I have lost the fun and desire to do camming a long time ago tbh. But this year starts out so bad that I really see no future for me in it anymore.

    I feel like I'm starting to be an empty shell it really robbed me from wanting to experience love with men as I see through them quicker by now. Camming ruined a lot for me in the past few years.
    Hugs. Camming for those of us who are struggling is definitely depressing. I'm not going to say think/be positive because it personally annoys me when people say that to me. Its like I know you're trying to help but please shut up. I will say though that we can do this gurl. We can make it out of this depressing state. Camming or pretty much any situation that a person doesn't want to be in feels like a trap. I feel like its impossible to escape camming and the debt that camming has put me in due it being so slow/dead. I get why people say camming is gonna get better but it hasn't done that and I am tired of and can not keep waiting for it to do that.

    I'm trying to escape full-time camming but its not easy. However I'm not giving up because I'm not allowing this be my life, especially not for the rest of my life. I believe there's a happier and better life for those of us who are tired of and depressed with camming, I really do. This depressing state seems permanent but its not, its temporary. The rest of our life doesn't have to be like this.

    I've come across these videos in the last month or so. I instantly thought of camming and the many of us who are struggling. The videos of course aren't cam related and some are a little long however the overall messages of each video really resonated with me. I figure I'd share them because I think they'll resonated with many here as well.
