in addition, many girls won't even meet (MEET, not smash) for less than five-hundo. I had a month SA subscription and 9 out of 10 contacts I made wanted 5 to just meet. A few I contacted from way outside of the PGH area wanted no less than 250 for a cardate.
I recently saw a SC post from a girl who had an OF profile. She charges $40 for a subscription and she gets $32 of that. I mean, that's not a ton of money, but it's a lot of scratch for sharing a few pics/vids without having to leave the house.
I don't know where dudes are getting their money but I've been priced right out of the market.

And there are WAY too many $500 pitchers on SA too. I estimate the "newer" girls don't have any sense of "local market rates", and all the old ASPD and Indys girls KNEW what their market value was. It was $200, $250, or $300 an hour back then- very few exceptions to that specific "three-tier" pricing system. On SA there is "variable" pricing, or at least the "newer" girls expect more until they learn about the local PGH hobby-market. Then they start banging for $200, $250, or $300 each time, usually within months or less than a year of them "debuting" on SA...
I don't mess around with the "Recently Joined" list on SA as I focus on the girls who I see online on SA for Months or even a couple years. You see them in the "Recently Visited" list a lot. They are on there all the time. The longer a girl is on SA then the more likely she understands "market norms" and "local market rates", specifically because she has interacted with so many local PGH hobbyists....
A problem is establishing an incall with SA girls. I won't meet at their living spaces because of "baby daddy's", "drivers", "besties", all sorts of "street' denizens who might come in. I can defend myself, but it's not a situation I want to be thrust into. I tend to rent affordable motel/hotel rooms in the "general area" they want to do business. I book two (2) hours so I can more easily go two rounds, and I clarify I want two rounds Before setting a date and time. With paying for a hotel room and booking two (2) hours (for two pops) and then paying a "standard market rate" of usually no more than $300 then I am paying "what I would pay" for ASPD and Indys girls who used to have their own incalls...
There are a lot of Scammers on SA, and also many girls who just want to make money as Quickly and Safely as possible. You can usually determine if they are reasonable, legit "players" or FOS Scammers within a few PM's. Plenty of action on SA for any guy who wants to "put the time in". It's a "process" which really was never required with ASPD and Indys girls....
To PensFan's second point about girls "picking and choosing" their clients. That is more "the norm" on SA than it was on ASPD and Indys. But also there were always (always) UTR girls in the ASPD and Indys cultures who "picked and chose" their own clients, and then never advertised. Many SA girls just want to find a "certain" number of clients and then not have to deal with meeting new guys. The exact same modus operandi of the old UTR ASPD and Indys girls....
Yes, many SA girls will require Pics and maybe even Facetime calls with potential clients. But like with the $500 pitchers on SA even that "requirement" lapses after they have been on the scene for months and years.....
