Steamate doesn't charge you if you're in the room for less than a certain amount of time. I believe it's 30 seconds or thereabouts.

One of the last times I was on cam the girl and I were in paid chat for about 10 minutes with people constantly coming in and out of the room - when we checked our earnings after that first show - it was something like 3 dollars, and we were charging 4.99 a minute. We EASILY had 5 people in there at one time during that specific time-frame, but not all of them stayed long enough to be charged.

So like I said before, the math isn't perfect. Not everyone in a room (in a pay-per-minute situation) is being charged. Some people will pop into a room without seeing the person in free, and if they don't like what's going on (say they want to see the girl getting fucked and not sucking dick or something) they'll leave before they're charged.
