I have been on the site since they changed their original. They actually reached out to me to join, but I and a male provider (he duos with TS & cis females) both said their "Bitch4Rent" was demeaning to an already targeted community. Shortly thereafter is became TS4Rent ... liked mentioned, the name does make it sound transactional, but sadly for some it is the nature of this business (client & provider alike). Since being an advertiser for a couple of years, here are my observations:
PROS...
Easy to navigate
Reviews are a brief process, easy to write, fast to post and the ladies can respond to thank or dispute
Not super expensive to advertise
Has a blog section for the provider, so reveals a bit more of her personality
GPS for displaying approximate location
Doesn't cost extra to show each city tour for the provider (Eros charges for every city base or tour)
Admin is responsive and when enough of us write about the same thing they tend to accommodate
CONS...
Messaging system is intrusive ... wish for an opt out (same issue with Tryst)
Guys don't read the ladies' ads, since some say to please do not write there, but go through our official sites
Guys are passive / aggressive and will look at your ad over and over again, but never book. We know because the Who Saw Me feature, lets us know. We can not turn off that feature, so that turns into pages & pages of lurkers. When we delete them, we have to back out for each one, since they go back to page one for each, and like I said it can be pages of lurkers
Block feature still lets the offender see your ad and let's you know they are still looking at you
Too many advertising options, so the home page is very "busy" looking, so I have found the that can be a bit distracting for the hobbyist and the provider can get "lost" amongst all the categories. I therefore now only pay for the VIP, since I did not see an uptick when I paid extra for any of the other categories like Platinum or Girl Of The Day
-------------------------
Overall, I find it is worth the investment, for the advertiser and the hobbyist.
