I've seen an uptick in provider comments stating that business is slow. There are always hobbyists noting that they feel prices are too high.
It's time for a win win!
Providers, lower your rates a few dollars and watch the business pick up!
Hobbyist, commit to seeing providers who have adjusted their rates!

Some providers, in my opinion, need to look at themselves, physically and business wise. There are hobbyists who will not spend more than X $$$ regardless of the potential experience.
Some providers are not always looking at their business model. YES, it is a business. Is our PM box full? Do you return calls promptly? Do you have accurate info in your showcase? Do you ever NCNS? (Rarely is there a time where you can't call a hobbyist to cancel.) Are you outcall only? Do you try to attend 'social' events to promote yourself?
You're running a business and we hear about issues in the ROS that are not always complimentary and a hobbyist will choose someone else.
Sorry if I seem blunt, but you asked.
Supply and demand are in play here.
