Ugh, Leolist

[Mishababy]

As a patron of their advertising platform, I can let it known that they do not have the highest regard for their consumers in many aspects. Creating our ads is a pain in the ass with censorship, price gauging, the lack of
reporting ads that mislead, breech conduct, steal others content/identities, taking our gift card money, having to pay to keep inactive ads that have expired, or lose ALL remaining bumps purchased and more, etc, etc...

PERB is an alternative platform to advertise, however as a user driven community that holds many personalities from patrons of sex workers causes a disdain for many sex workers to want to spend their money,
their time, sanity, patience and share their voices and experiences here.
I have seen a drastic decline in paid members wanting to advertise here, because of the treatment, opinions, misogyny, unsavoury reviews and rules regarding in how we are allowed to advertise.
It's much reason to turn to social media platforms like Twitter which are FREE and we are able to garner more empowerment from being our own true business owners and say what we truly want to say!

I love Twitter! It’s my most active platform for my Professional GF work 😛 Every gentleman I’ve met from Twitter has been 100% the real deal, respectful, and now my fav regulars! 💗

Leolist literally has stolen hundreds of litcoin (dollars) from me before too… and when they changed the wallet address recently they never changed mine and my entire account I’ve had for years was now useless and I couldn’t post anymore. I had to make a new one and it was so frustrating 😤

Don't get too popular. Once you start getting some traction they will permaban your account. We've had a few.

When I first began to escort I didn’t know about PERB, until a client told me about it, and used Leo List exclusively right away. I still find most of my clients come from Leo List, but most of the flakes, cancellations and no shows seem to also come from there. So yes it’s useful for us SP’s, but it can also be frustrating. I think also because of the high amount of fake ads in there, people seeking escorts who don’t know about PERB are also the ones asking for face photos, and less likely to pay a deposit to a reputable provider, because of so many fake ads and scammers on there. This is quite unfortunate for both sides.

I think Leo List has its place, but whoever runs it should really do a better job at screening ad posters. I am very sure they care more about the money, than SP’s using it and those seeking services… hence why we see so many fake ads like this.

Also this is just another reason why I believe all sex work should be legalized and regulated. You would see less of these fake ads and scams out there. So let’s all keep talking about this, and helping to change societal views on sex work, so we can begin to see more changes with the law, and less crime and scams infiltrating the industry.

Just my two cents worth.

Haha who remembers backpages though? Those were wild times.

Twitter is used as an ad space by some.
Others post far more interesting travel pictures or comments about various topics.

Thanks for your input. We and Perb are happy that you're on Perb.

On that note. How does Perb become known to a much larger scale then? Out of curiosity. Do you ladies mention Perb to your clients?

Not many ppl know about perb unfortunately. SPs who are new often use LL cause they don’t know about perb and same with clients, it has the most traffic and many ppl aren’t into or aware of the hobbyist scene! also if you need to work day of or right away, LL is your only real option as perb and tryst don’t get as many responses especially not right away. I barely get any bookings from perb myself but luckily I have a great roster of amazing regs 💗

Maybe I should hire someone to teach me how to use Twitter to search for escorts or erotic massage providers.

Speaking from the perspective of a long time member of the perb community, I find the service of great value. The reviews have supported me making good decisions and avoiding bad ones. As prices have increased (and I don't have any problems with that), those decisions become more important. I like that the ladies who deliver the best experiences and earn good reviews benefit from the lads sharing those with the board.

Unfortunately, I also share Lady V's observation, though my terminology may differ, that many ladies who have participated on the board have been bullied and reviews can be unfair or weaponized. My sense is that the mods do a solid job trying to manage that but it is still an ongoing concern.

Leolist has become a gong show of fake ads, pictures and scams, with some legitimate ads sprinkled throughout. Still ladies have to advertise where guys search, so in the current market it becomes a necessary evil.

Thread closed, a bunch of drama edited out. A warning to all, PERB is not a democracy, the rules are in place for a reason and if anyone, paid advertiser or member doesn't like it, they are free to leave and go elsewhere. They are not allowed to complain about moderation or the rules in an open forum. If you have something to say, please feel free to PM Fred Zed.
