i just dont get what the difference between the way things were and what they are now except not as good

Here I have an economic question (not a moral question):

Why would an escort want to advertise on CL anyway ?

The cost of a basic eros ad with 3 pics is (depending on city) ~$135-175.

The cost of CL ads once every two days is ~$75 and then you presumably have less credibility -- reputation of CL for fake pics -- so it seems to be not much of a bargain.

I guess one possible answer is that a CD or unattractive girl can more easily fake it on CL. Although there are some part-time gems there, and other motivations for using fake pics, like not wanting a bad rep.

Damn we got tumble weeds goin in there. Hell in the w4m there is 1 ad in the m4m there like 4 ads and everything else is empty. I also don't get the thing with the fake pics. I know why Mimi got pissed off but if your a guy all you have to do google the number then you might find conflicting pics or none at all and you have avoided a fuckup. I jsut went on backpage and ugh its horrible.

More then 75% of the ladies that were advertising on Craigs were using fraudulant pics to hook the guys. Finding the right lady was like trying to win the lottery.
