[Deleted member 8603]

It would be nice to have threads for everyone that can't get into model's only to get information on how to cam on Streamate more effectively.
So here we are!

Yeah, I said something like "boy, you sure like doing the same things over and over" in the chat and got banned immediately, lol.

if you want to tell us that names, we can always make a stink about it and report it. these bot accounts are the worse and make it harder us real models.

im constantly having to prove im a real person. >.<

They were pretty easy to spot since they were using footage of porn actresses.

How do these fake accounts have so many tags and comments? The Remy one has 898 comments going back years. They are recorded loops that you can see start over, there's no audio just blaring pop music, and she doesn't react to what you type. I tried to get banned on my member account by typing SCAM and fake but nothing happened lol. Is this a fake account made by SM for marketing (like @AudriTwo mentioned) or a fake account for scamming? If it's for marketing it seems like a super dumb move because then doubt is cast on all us real girls trying to make money for the site...I don't get it.

Edit - just tried the same thing in "Remy's" room and got swiftly banned haha

Edit #2 haha, So it kinda bothers me that it seems these porn stars have been paid to make recordings pretending to be camming to be used in a scam that hurts camgirls and cam site members.

I wonder what actually happens when you click private or exclusive?

 

[CosmicRose]

Well the Remy account is running gold shows. So it could just play a recording for the show. I dont know how the Lexi account would get away with doing actual privates and just playing a recording.

i was curious as well so I went into a short Exclusive with Lexi before i reported and got banned. But yeah, it’s just a different recording that gets played.

 

[CosmicRose]

And her rates are $0.99 and $1.99! LOL
They have cammodels pages too so maybe the revenue share is part of the scam.

So this is a question for the Streamate models...

Do you ladies feel that, nowadays, Streamate is good for a model not interested in doing dildo penetration shows...but still offer things such as vibrator play, cam-to-cam, oil, striptease, foot fetish, etc. in premium/exclusive? Or to not even bother with Streamate if you're not offering dildo penetration?

I think it depends. When I say no penetration my earnings are certainly lower. As well I REALLY need to spell it out to people that I'm not doing it.

But I lean towards vanilla on SM with some femdomme. If you plan to lean towards femdomme with some vanilla you probably won't have too much hassle.

Here's a quick tutorial, since I see a lot of rules broken from very new models.

HOW TO NOT GET YOUR ACCOUNT BANNED OR FROZEN ON STREAMATE​

aka, DA RULEZ

Don't show your genitals (tits are okay) in freechat
Don't fist
Don't pretend to be under 18 in roleplays
Don't do incestual, bestiality, or roleplays along those lines
Don't link ANY outside sites. No twitter, nothing.
Don't try to get any outside payments or initiate outside contact with members.
Don't have anyone but YOU on camera unless you have explicit permission for that person to be there
Don't commit any type of fraud. This means don't take card numbers from people or anything like that.
Don't report people unless they have actually done something against the rules.

DO read the "performer manual" which has more information on all of this!
DO use common sense and be safe! :thumbleft: :handgestures-salute: ​

Wat are the benefits of streamate?

I think you can get away with doing no penetration especially if you're marketing fetishes/other stuff-I think it's worth trying. I only do penetration in exclusive chat and only when someone asks for it specifically so even though I offer it, I'm not doing it all the time. There was a period of time I wasn't doing penetraion and my earnings took a bit of a hit but I was still making steady money.

 

[CosmicRose]

Wat are the benefits of streamate?

1. No emotional labor / outside contact
2. No need to have a social media presence unless you want to
3. No public shows for freeloaders
4. No extra work like coming up with constant creative new show ideas, making contests, graphics, raffles, menus, designing profiles, etc.
5. Consistent schedule there is much less important.

I was disappointed to see that no pets ever ever are allowed on cam. Will SM get mad when there is excessive yowling in the background as I shut my cats out of the bedroom and they make sounds as if someone is disemboweling them? This is my primary concern because I am a crazy crazy cat lady.

Nope they won't get angry about that. Does your cats like catnip? Maybe give them something to preoccupy their time away from catmom?

They like their foodtoys, so I'm thinking that cam-days will have to be fat-cat-days. You have really disturbing timing because I was just filling out my profile and totally creeping on yours for general insights

Haha that's totally fine. I did the same when I first started! I'm terrible at filling out profiles. No joke, my old OkCupid profile said "I like stuff" with nothing else but a few photos of me and my dog. Haha.

I have been known to bribe my cats with catnip and treats and then run to my room and shut the door before they notice I'm gone so I can get some freaking work done. I also will put the cat gently out the door with "mommy has to make pooooorrrrn" or "mommy has to entertain boners" as they give me sad kitty eyes.

The way I have my room set up right now, I can have a kitty chilling on the bed napping and out of sight. If they start moving and are about to get in frame, I hit the break button and put them out in the hall real quick before going back to camming.

You are the best.

depending how much support has on their plate. anywhere from a couple hours to 24 hours normally.

I think streammate is among the most expensive cam sites to the person who is buying tokens

I've always thought the bot accounts are run/operated BY Streamate. They (Streamate) CAN do whatever the hell they want it's their site, so, why not? An easy little income from a camgirl that doesn't complain...sounds like heaven to Streamate. Just sayin'

Yeah but when the member is scammed they won't ever spend again on the site. Seems like a sure fire way to run off paying customers.

I reported the accounts and they replied a "we'll look into it blah blah" and a few days later they were still there so I asked if they were for marketing or something and they just responded that they'd investigate them. Still there tho.

It really does do some reputational harm by having these accounts exist. It makes me, as a member, feel as if the site is less legitimate. Not to mention it makes it harder for actual models to be doubted whether they are recordings.

SM will usually refunds shows from the pre-recorded models. Then they remove any comment you might have made about them being a recording.

Tokens, gold, wood chips, whatever their fake currency is, I find Streammate to be about twice as expensive as other sites. For fetish models it is actually cheaper to go down to the FetishFortressNYC and session with a real live Domme!

Yeah cause my plane ticket to NY is gonna cost less than a show on streamate... Lol no.

Then fly to NY and go session with a real life Domme..

 

[Dan Epstein]

I used to be a bartender in a few Fetish events, it's everything but cheap. These are decadent events that are targeting clients with a high social-economical status to show, at least in Tel Aviv.
I saw couples easily spend there around 250 bucks, just for the drinks in less than an hour, and we didn't accept tokens

If it's too expensive for you, maybe you're not the target audience.
Plenty of members like to explore fetishes/sex in the virtual world but are uncomfortable with the idea of going to a dungeon/finding an escort/etc. Not everyone lives in NYC either, some guy really into femme domme who lives on the Louisiana bayou would not find it cheaper to go to a fetish fortress in NYC.
