Members of our forum have shared various strategies to cope with low traffic periods, particularly on platforms like Streamate. Here's a brief summary of the insights and experiences discussed:
- Consistent, short-term logging in is a strategy some use to test waters without committing long hours on a slow day.

- Even with splitcamming, slow periods are common due to external factors like global events or platform-specific issues.
- Some models express a preference for sites that offer private shows only, to avoid the drawbacks of free chat environments.
- Technical issues, such as frequent disconnections, can impact the choice of platforms used by models.
- Visibility and traffic on certain sites may be influenced by the model's location, leading to calls for more flexibility in region settings.
- There's a dialogue about the fairness of revenue share percentages and how they affect models' decisions to work on specific platforms.
