[QUOTE=Taws6;5934941]I have a hard time believing the average massage parlor girl has any investment portfolio.
I used to hear from fellow mongers (especially on another site) how awesome bitcoin was & if everyone wasn't investing to the max, then you were stupid.
Put me in the stupid camp. Bitcoin investments are for chumps.
There is a reason few (if any) major respected fund has crypto in their portfolios.
Most fund managers view it like Warren Buffet does, it's trash.[/QUOTE]The other thing is I find it hard to complain about an MP having to spend $40 per ad. If they have to place one add a day on BP that's $280/ week. Even at $40 house fee, and most have not been $40 house fee for a while, they're making more than enough to cover their ad cost. That's 7 customers at $40 each, or a little more than 5 customers at $50. They cover that in an hour. By comparison, for my fully legit spa that probably brings in less traffic than most of the places that get reviewed here, I pay about $1200/ week for advertising. Bottom line, BP is not the reason these places are raising prices. BP could charge $100 per ad and it's still too small an amount of money to affect them that much. They're raising their prices because they want to, and because their customers will pay it.
Charging for ads helps week out the riff raff. When you get "free" places like skipthegames you're naturally going to get a lot of crap that you'll have to filter through. I'm not here to defend or endorse BP, just saying that it is not the smoking gun behind price increases.
