...The biggest issue I hear is that the number of 'self important reviewers" on ECCIE who think that because they make claims they can make or break providers with threats of bad reviews or posts in other reviews, become a non issue the moment a provider stops posting ads here and trying to get reviews here.
Quality providers rarely need reviews IF she takes care of business. Seriously, how often does LovingKayla actually post ads on here?
Sites that many members put down, whether it is BP or EROS to just name 2 can make a lot more money for providers over the cheap fucks who will call demanding a 'special" because they post reviews or have what they consider "influence on a silly hooker board.
More paying clients find escorts other places such as Backpage for the simple reason they don't want the associated drama that comes from having cyber stalkers who contribute NOTHING except attacks when a member or a provider makes a post.
If a provider has put ALL her income eggs in ONE basket, namely ECCIE, she is at the mercy of those self-appointed review fuckers.
But if she is wise and does what others did when too many assholes who "ruled" ASPD during times when people like myself were banned for years there branch out to other pastures for posting ads, especially places where they can include things they can't do any longer here, they might be surprised.

I always figured that the guys on BP, etc. were the cheap fucks, trying to find a lady to do A, B, and C for less than the last lady. Me, I guess I am so thankful that a cute lady will see a balding, grey haired overweight old fart like myself, I try to treat them like gold.
I do agree that a lady should never have all her eggs in one basket. When ASPD crashed, how many ladies were left scrambling to re-work their business model? At least by belonging to more than one board, a lady can determine where the underworld of providing has migrated to. Not like you are going to see an ad in the Dallas Morning News.
Finally, some ladies attract drama. Tara, for all or her good qualities that her WKs loved, just knew how to piss people off. Old addage, any publicity is good publicity, does have its limits. Lot of people here have learned that the hard way. Don't want to beat Tara's dead horse, but even with all of the drama, she still seemed to be doing quite well for herself. Even though her and I did not click, I still think she is probably a pretty nice person away from the business aspects of the world.
Lastly, a lot of ladies do seem to be finding other advertising venues, downsizing their business model, or just reaching that point of retirement. I think if the economy was better, if there were more civilian jobs out there, a lot more ladies would have moved into new career choices by now.
PS: It takes a lot of time for a lady or a guy to maintain multiple presences on multiple boards. (OK, no jokes about the ladies and guys with multiple personalities that allow them to do this without any effort). I gave up on other boards because of time constraints. Just ain't time to be on multiple sites and really keep abreast of the local issues. But a lady must in order to keep a varied clientele happy and to respond to their needs.
