Backpage Adult Ads down: Four quick thoughts
We knew it might happen eventually so no crying over spilled milk.
My thoughts:
1) I pity the poor fools who have seen a girl lately and wasn't using a Burner Phone (or burner software for a smartphone). It could be embarrassing as hell for them when the inevitably "Hey why don't you come see me?" nag calls start coming in at just the wrong moment (Job, around the wife, etc.).
2) Some of the savvier ladies were noted to already have gone over to "Women Seeking Men", which already had 'B' team escort adds before this. This was noted in earlier posts to this thread.
3) What I haven't seen suggested here- Some of the backpage aggregator sites are still running (Bitches of Backpage, Erotic Monkey, the categorized Escort Babylon site.
I never did understand the cash flow model of these sites but for a short time at least if you have to find a girl whose ad you saw on backpage her ad MIGHT (or might not) be on one of these. So happy they are up for now! In respect of A2's wishes not to have links posted to competitor sites I'm not posting the actual links but google is your friend. And to show our moderator some good will- (3 (b)) Be sure to tell the cream of the crop about USAadultclassifieds maybe they would be willing to pay for advertising that won't get shut down now that they are panicking about the change in the web landscape.
4) The landscape is changing but it isn't the oldest profession for nothing, some will be shaken out but most will be back on their backs and knees before long. Looking for pu $$why on the web now is like street mongering a new stroll, what will succeed is situational awareness and being ready to step up your game. Thank You All.
Thanks for the Advice / Opinion!
