Old timers - Is it me?

Is it me?
I remember a time with escorts that for $400 or $500 you had a great time with an open minded, free spirit who seemed to enjoy their time together with you as much as you did with them. I am talking about Pollie Amorous, Legendary Jill, Danica Rose, Viktoria, and many others. Only a handful of these "GREATS" still remain and their donations are not what it cost me to buy a car when I was a teenager. Thank God BDJ is still around supplying hot women at a reasonable price.  
This was only maybe 5 years ago...then COVID....now these escorts are asking outrageous sums and the encounter is like they are doing you a fucking favor and is usually lackluster to say the least. It is no wonder all the reviews are for Asians, who also have jacked up their donations, that are still somewhat reasonably priced, are popular!
I really don't care about their wishes to be low volume nor do I care to pay their monthly rent with one visit. I also don't care who bans me from seeing them because of my post.
This is all precipitated by a certain escort who was asking for a certain pair of $900 shoes. Oh yeah, their wish lists read like a prima donna's Christmas list. The shoes were on sale and then they were not. I didn't immediately get them and sorry but I got busy. I have a life. I actually have to work, not sit around waiting for a schmuck to get the itch to see me, to earn a living and when I went back to check her twitter if someone already purchased them for her, I was blocked!
So to add to their overinflated opinions of themselves they are downright rude lately!
I recall a recent incident with an agency who had a porn star visiting. I rushed through the ad and didn't see her donations where already listed. You should only see the rude cursing email I got in response to my asking the donations. Okay, my stupid mistake, but is that how you treat a customer maybe even someone who may become an acquaintance? In response, because I pushed back after being cursed at, was the threat of being "blacklisted". I made a stupid mistake Jesus Christ! Is this their idea of customer service?
Now there are those that may label me a time waster. Maybe I am. Maybe considering the many wonderful encounters I have had in the past and then considering the most likely disappointing time I will have after plunking down my hard earned cash now I am reluctant to pull the trigger and make an appointment.
Nevertheless, there are those who will call me a whinnying pussy, and go ahead, I am old school and still expect to get value for my money. You can do what you like, and maybe you found an ATF who is not a stuck up bitch, and I would say to keep her happy if you are happy, but I ask is it me or is this the new order?
Anyways I am going to limit my interactions as best I can with providers of new as I find that best interaction with them is no interaction at all.
