Has the escort industry reached a new low??

[Hoodho]

I couldn't help but notice online advertisement for escorting apparently requires payment now?
there was a time when this industry was about the young transwomen coming up who needed to fund their transition, put food on the table or escape an abusive home or rise out of homelessness. This industry was a way for them to quickly do that. Has the industry become so soul less that you essentially have to pay from $50 to $100 just to advertise? This completely alienates many young transwomen from even having a shot at just entering the industry.

It was free to advertise when Crag owned Shemale Canada. He sold the sight a few years ago, the new guys now charge. Some of these girls are pulling in around $10,000 or more per week, so no sympathy here. Maybe it wouldn’t be a bad idea to offer the first month free for someone just entering the trade.
Other than that, nothing’s free.

Its a business. While I appreciate the altruistic view, the site doesn't exist to 'empower' anyone or provide charity. They are making money, just like anyone else in 'the game'.

There are still many sites that allow you to post free, but ultimately you will need to pay to advertise if you want any kind of visibility on the 1st page results.

Sad news. Apparently he aspirated on a huge ladyboy load in Pattaya, and is no more. LMFAO!

Advertising takes money and it's a necessary cost of business just like buying lingerie, condoms, lube, toys, (& make up, nails, & accessories for those that prioritize it) etc. It's expensive and annoying but it allows us to do this job and at the end of the day, this job gives you the opportunity to make decent money. Those sites cost money to run so it needs to be profitable for them and there aren't a ton of companies wanting to advertise on those sites. It also lowers the amount of scammers when you have to pay to advertise. I know it doesn't get rid of them entirely but if it was free to advertise, imagine how many more there would be. Being able to advertise online is a huge convenience compared to old school methods and I'm happy to pay for it. It's safer, more discreet, and easier. I love being able to post new pictures and have my rates, services, and restrictions spelled out all in one place to prevent the millions of questions that can quickly turn into clients trying to sext. It can all be found on the ad and it gives them an idea of what kind of experience you offer. I also think from the clients perspective its more convenient because you can view photos and services from all the escorts in the area and see which escort matches the experience you're looking for the best. It costs a lot of money for them to see us and they want to make sure they're getting their moneys worth. Convenience services and products are not known for being cheap but I am happy to pay it.

Pay to play like everything else. Wah wah. RIP CR.

many sites make money without charging anyone. I believe smc existed for years without charging any of the girls to advertise.

true but all of that was possible on free escort sites that now charge apparently. There's nothing unique to it. Furthermore You are speaking from a place of a girl who's BEEN in the industry. What about the girls coming up? Looking to get themselves out of a bad situation. That's the point of the post hun.

I don't really expect many of yall to have empathy for transwomen as the majority on here only fetishize transwomen and care absolutely nothing of the trials and tribulations transwomen go through. This post was for those who actually do.

BS, I’ve dated and actually lived with trans women several times so I believe I know how to experience trans issues. Suicide threats? Hormone induced emotional outbursts? I’ve dealt with it all.

I also know how much money they can make in this biz if they apply themselves. One worker bragged about carrying $10,000 in her purse all the time.

lLike I said, if someone who wants to sell their ass but suffers hardship, I think one month free adverting would get them off the ground. Websites need to make money though like any other business. We aren’t a communist society living like paupers standing in bread lines yet. Trudeau is working on it though…

Escorts make 5-10lk a month if they are full time (and much more if they build a good reputation). Advertising expenses at that level are not an issue. If someone can't pay 100 dollars for an AD when they are making 300+ per hour then they need to evaluate their finances. . Success is not free; business is not a charity, and it is not soul less for a website to want to make money selling ads. There would be no websites for you to advertise on if they had no revenues. Not one escort is alienated because they have to pay for an ad. They are starting a business after all, that comes with the territory.

Your statement has about as much credibility as your "Shemale Canada is refusing to advertise trans women of color and is culling the herd" (or so you heard).

You seem cool, you make great videos, and seem like a nice person. But some of your takes trying to play :"poor us" are just not reasonable or based in fact.


PS - you made another post demeaning guys saying we don;'t understand trans issues (I am paraphrasing). I am currently personal friends with 2 vancouver based escorts. I have seen many escorts over the years. I have had relationships with a couple of escorts as well as non escort trans women. So, I do care. And I know and understand the issues far more than most. And I can tell you some of your takes just are plain wrong with no basis in evidence or fact. You seem to want to play the "we are all downtrodden and oppressed" card and that is not the case for most people. There are good lives and good friendships and good business out there if a person views things the right way. I have met numerous trans women that are well paid escorts with families and friends, educated non escort trans women who have degrees and jobs, and so on. Its not all doom and gloom. You are trying to find the worst of the worst and elevate that to be the norm just like the media does for clicks. If you stay stationary thinking that everyone is trying to destroy you, then you accomplish nothing and self fulfill that shitty vision.

Seems many of the other ladies stopped using SC. I don’t blame them. Not everyone is in the same situation and I totally understand the point you are making.

the minute i seen your post i knew you were going to attempt to disagree. I think you get off on having disagreements with me for some sick reason. Claiming i lack evidence yet you pop off the mouth saying ANYTHING without evidence. or twisting my words around yet refusing to provide evidence of the statements you allege i made. Boy bye! I never said smc was racist. All I did was state what i heard from another provider about the new management. you than had a panic attack over me repeating what i heard and got in your feelings despite me making it clear it was just a rumor and did not know if it was true. Furthermore i have recently spoken to the website owner and i can PERSONALLY confirm they don't have any biases towards transwomen of color. but lets be clear i never EVER stated what i heard was a fact. Moving along,The average Canadian transexual escort does not make 5 to 10k a month. They are lying to you dear. If that was the case there wouldn't be as many of them street walkers i have PERSONALLY seen offering services for 5 to 20 bucks. Try again. You know two transexual based escorts? Oh how impressive! I couldn't even count on two HANDS how many transexuals i know because i have known plenty! Two who made such little money i had to personally give them my own regulars out of pity. One of those girls is still a provider but i will not mention her name out if respect for her. Another One who retired named miya fenestra travelled with me to ottawa and made only 100 dollars in the full week i was with her! i had to fund the entire trip! You know how many welll known providers tour and don't even make enough money to come back home? That have called on girls like me to get them out of that bind? So no the two escorts you know don't reflect the reality of trans life. And as i mentioned in this post this is about new transwomen coming into the industry to escape poverty. This isn't about seasoned veterans who can clearly afford 100 dollars for an advertisement. Once again you are a faceless nobody! you can damn near say anything about your life and alleged relationships with transwomen and theres no one to verify. People know who i am. So unlike you i have to walk the talk.
