Today is a flash mob of empty rooms on the first places :1orglaugh

And these numbers of viewers are more real!

Very hard to make conversion / sale when top room are Empty no model online :helpme

I like that mila mentioned clara_chan in her bio as her best friend but when you click on "clara_chan" it links to mila's affiliate link, not clara's page :)

Mila is using the same strategy as clara with the username pattern but at least she states:

$0 today bloody magic

what about the number of sign ups (conversion)? In my opinion it is a better indicator of performance. Unless you are using PPL ($1 per signup), in which case $ correlates to signups.

CB will not do anything, because all cheater-rooms were online last days
As example spanishcouple_ is up and again on the first place, usually zero registrations when rooms like that on the first place :(

I can prophesy the first places for the next few hours
emilybrowm and spanishcouple_ will be a 2 first places for 3-4 hours

I can work as a prophet!

the first two place.
the first - an average model with hanging microtits
the second - a fully dressed model

These rooms will not convert at all :(

I went to those rooms, they suck. LOL.

First is zoomed in so close with all this text. The other cam you mentioned is saying email me with a tip note with a video on loop.

Chaturbate staff have lost control of the site

Anyone doing good on new period? 0.00 and 1 sign-up for me (so far). Things could change tonight.... hopefully.

Today will be a day without registrations because
mila_ and spanishcouple_ will get the first two places for a few hours

P.S. Only at US evening I have a few registrations. EU day without any registration :(

my spenders are gone.

Yep same here, March was a big dropoff.

Mila_ Clara_Chan Spanishcouple_ and other mentioned in this thread models are in the same criminal group.
Yes, its a criminal group, because they are stealing referrals, cheating with the fake viewers .
Creating such amount of a fake viewers, especially a smart fake viewers is impossible for one model - its just too expensive only for one model

P.S. I still think that its some kind of side work of someone from low level support or technician from cb.

Is anybody knows any other emails instead of
[email protected]
[email protected]

?

Because situation is out of control

Today one eastern european "sit around" girl got the top spot. It's completely out of control and every day these studios put new girls on cb.

0.00 and 5 for me

I now have better conversions with sites that don't have free shows

A camgirl I know created a whitelabel and a profile on cb with links to her email and ManyVids. She is heavily advertising a profile where she rarely shows up.

All models should do the same... I guess the step after that is for webmasters to get naked on cam? :upsidedow

Damn.. this is getting out of control.

I usually get around 20-30 signups a day, today only 13 so far that is bad

I totally agree with you :)

Today CB changed something in their algorithms, one friend of mine received an email with support answer about this.
But mila_ is still there :(

Guys, do you know any other good affiliate programs, where I can put my "sugar daddies" related traffic? old fat spanish chicks don't convert with my type of the traffic at all.

Any chance of copying the email here?. Obviously no names etc required

I will ask him. As I know he wanted to register here but his account didn't approved yet.

Mila_ is highly entertaining and has a big and dedicated following. I'm actually willing to give her the benefit of the doubt that if she uses bots, it would be more or less self defense. Unlike other very clearly botted rooms she makes users tip her and not small. Her affiliate things might go far and sometimes over the limits but she knows how to convert traffic into revenue.

You want to say that if someone is "highly entertaining" (this is a BIG MISTAKE) than she can use bots. Am I right?

Its just a statistics - when mila_ on the first place conversion drops highly. Yes she has a lot of followers, but many other models have much more followers and can't get the first places even once last few months. And she has really, really bad light! Such dark gray room can't convert well!

I know my words look like paranoia. But I'm sure, that Mila_ one of the main persons of group of cheaters and she works together with someone in CB support.
Because each new CB algorithms only for helping her group to stay on the first places.
And all these models are average models, not the bad, but not the perfect also!

I just get a copy of this email:

Fuck it! I'm out.
After their changes top cheating rooms get the first places much faster than before.

I repeat my question:

How about you give these things some time? Let's take this signal that chaturbate is actually aware and changed something (whatever they changed) as a positive one. Just like it seems that this bot problem didn't come over night, I don't think it will be solved over night. Also girls that used bots have made followers and won real users. Just the way it is.

Take it, put it on your head.
You will feel better on a flat earth.

Cheers Mega. At least its an acknowledgement from them

I have much better hat

So reptiloids can not see me!

What improvements they are talking about ?

I rarely visit CB - here is first random click on model there:

https://i.ibb.co/xmb2hd2/Untitled-1.jpg

Is this allowed to overlay other navigation buttons ?

"Improvements" of model placements on the first page. But these "improvements" are good only for models who use fake viewers, common models suffer from it much more then before.

You have to report about banners to [email protected]

It's good that y'all are discussing and reporting these issues but sentiments like "chaturbate has lost control of the site" and "Fuck it! I'm out" are a little overly dramatic

Chaturbate's not going anywhere, they're gonna fix the problem. It might take a minute because they can't just make large algorithm changes in a single day. They can't take drastic action against botting in a single day. If they did those things without taking proper care and precaution that they DO IT RIGHT, they could hurt their (and your) business.

But the sky's not falling. Personally my revenues were down a little in feb/march but they're back on track this month. And my signups are actually up in general this year.

Just focus on building your traffic and signups and you'll be fine.

If anyone from chaturbate is reading this, I would suggest that the sorting algo focus on REVENUE GENERATED over different time-frames. Revenue generated in the current show, revenue generated in the last hour, revenue generated per broadcasted hour over the model's last month on chaturbate, revenue generated per broadcasted hour over the model's last year on chaturbate.

Of course you would still need to use other signals to give new models a chance to prove themselves, but the most sophisticated botting operation in the world can't game a revenue-based sorting algorithm.

What happened, anyone else notice a big dropoff the last 2 days. Monday, did over $1000 in billing and then back to back zeros and I haven't had a zero day in over 3 years. I'm usually at least $400 in billing daily

This would be the sorting that myfreecams has. Obvious negative side effect is that girls that have ONE whale tipper and girls who mostly sell videos and pictures and who basically only cam as a showcase for the content they sell, rank high. CB was always "show based", a girl does a great show, she can gain a top spot that day. If a highly popular girl has a bad day or just wants to sit around, she would not gain a good spot that day. Great princinple but abused by some girls and studios who get the top spots always regardless if they do a great or a not so great show.

How about adding a manual/human input. Automation is necessary to handle easy patterns and mass numbers but to fine tune the top rooms nothing will beat a human.
This would require monitoring but this will bring quality (boosting overall conversions) and discourage bots use to a small extend.

Also I am sure a gentle warning to bots users would go a long way.

In my opinion PPL should be put on hold until this prb is under control. I assume that not only they boost rooms positions but they also score $1 when signing up? ...

I disagree with you.
Who will decide what room must be on the first place and when it must be?
Only crowd can decide the best position, not just single human.

Right now cb support already does it. And as result top botted room on the first places.
Yes, you can say that is just only my conspiracy theories.
But cb support can limit any model manually.
Many many models who broadcast more than 2 years with lot of followers received these manual limits last few months. At the same time the top botted rooms are on the top spots, so white list exists too.

This is a good point, but there's signals that could solve it

For example, ignore revenue generated from private shows and other revenue sources. Only count revenue generated from tips in public shows

Focus on number of tippers in addition to total tip volume (that way one whale can't affect the ratings)

As far as a popular girl sitting around doing nothing, focus on revenue in the current show.

I love thinking about search algorithms, in my previous life before getting into adult, I actually worked in search algorithms at big tech companies. If you've used ebay search or yelp search, you've used code/algorithms I've written

All fucking spenders are gone, as soon as we restart to send the full traffic.

Codes down sales, codes up no sales.
They are playing that kindergarten game now nearly 12 month in these patterns,
with our revshare account.

It looks like the shave algo of the programm is programmed
the keep the traffic flow alive.

I don't know its a new internal unofficial direction inside cb or just someone in cb use own position for stealing money from the other models and webmaster by several cheating technics. and he or they work with several cheating models:
- all cheating models are average common models - usually full dressed and unpretty.
- all these models are sticked to the first positions
- most of these models use overflow banners or text requests to recreate a new account (referral stealing)
- all these models are covered someone in the cb support - all reports about breaking TOS are completely ignored
- any model who looks better and can be competitor for these average models just pushed out from the main page applying some type of the limits. and these limits applied by cb support manually.
- the latest changes of the placement algorithm help only cheating rooms - they get the first places faster than before changes. but other models are received harder limits.
- right now the first page of cb looks like mix of freak show and understandable reality show with lot of low quality rooms and lot of fully dressed models.

That's why conversion drops.

And the main problem:
CB support doing nothing with reports about these models! Banners are still there, still horde of fake viewers, etc.

Found another one...., so, we have only 1 button link to users signup, then all models are starting to put this BS (their own button) close to our ONLY button link

https://i.imgur.com/m8GCmPp.jpg

One more: caylin/.... Any link close to SIGNUP button should be not allowed

https://i.imgur.com/4mmIJpe.jpg

Found this one tonight as well

buttons/banners like this makes things even worse
