Leolist prices

[steverino]

Maybe LL has seen escort industry prices rise and have reached the conclusion they can raise rates.

Leolist's rates are insane, but I hate the technical barriers to entry. Worse than being costly, LL handcuffs non-technical people to middlemen.

How many independents ormassage shops staff understand photography, sales writing, crypto (!!!), and have the English skills to navigate LLs built-in scams ("auto bump", aka the account sucker)?

I ask everyone reading this:
What can I do to promote alternatives, such as:
Tryst.link
Perb.cc

(which I'm sure have thier own issues, but one knife fight at a time, please)

Inflation isn't adding up anywhere. If it's 8% that should mean I'm only spending $8 for my groceries for each $100 I spend, and the same across the board. This is price gouging everywhere.

It's an average. There are always going to be other economic factors.

Unfortunately it is the first place people look.
Every inquiry I receive I send them perb.cc, tryst.link telling them these are better places.
Changing the where and how a person looks for SW's ect.
Leo list is a shit show BUT it is where they look first and Locanto is another popular place .
Strange but true

In Locanto Im assuming in personals ?

It makes you wonder... how much are scammers making? It must be a crazy amount if they're still willing to pay for advertising on LL.

My reaction too. Scamming must be a great business if they are paying CAD $7.65 for every bump, again and again. Don't they run out of victims? In the meantime, genuine, well-regarded providers can't, and shouldn't, keep up with this nonsense.

I did not realize LL was charging rates like this. But to the points made on the scammers etc, despite LL's T&C stating accounts will be terminated if copyrights are infringed, if used for unlawful activities etc etc etc, they then state in CAPS:

WHILE LEOLIST EXPLICITLY PROHIBITS THE ABOVE CONDUCT YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO SUCH CONDUCT AND CONTENT AND THAT YOU USE THE SERVICE ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND THAT LEOLIST SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND FOR SUCH CONDUCT.

Not sure exactly where the website owners reside as it appears LL is for Canada only but their general notes indicate some Eastern European place, not sure.

For the users, I guess it very much is buyer beware but for the bonafide SP's using LL to let us all know they are there, maybe add a bit extra in the tip!!

It's not looking like the average is being set across the board to anything. It's all looking like 30% or more on things.

Inflation doesn't "set the price" per se. In other words, it's not like the BoC says "core inflation is 8%" and therefore all sellers just raise their prices 8%. Inflation measures the change in prices of a "basket of goods" - each item in the basket can change at whatever rate (due to whatever factors). It is not "equal across the board". If milk goes up by 10% and eggs go up by 20% - the simple average of increase in those two items is 15% inflation. HOWEVER, on an individual basis it's not that simple because you have to contemplate how much and at what frequency you buy those 2 things - i.e. as an example, you might buy 1 carton of milk per week but only buy a flat of eggs once per month - that difference in frequency of purchase means the "simple average" of 15% is not actually what you may or may not experience. If you eat a boatload of eggs, well, you "feel" 20% inflation alot more - ergo, your perception may be that 15% is BS (which is what you are saying about 8%). If you have an EV, you certainly won't feel the increase in fuel prices over the last year (at least not as directly as if you had a regular gasoline car) - it doesn't mean it's not happening. Inflation measures "something" - it does not mean you experience that "something" at all times in relation to all items. Think of it as core inflation (what the BoC measures) vs your own personal inflation (which is determined by your purchasing habits and frequency, and that is something the BoC is not generally looking at).
