A lot of guys use but they are bargain hunters.   Many who use that site can only afford low rates.

Inflation has had a major impact on discretionary income.

Not so say that there isn’t a diamond in the rough advertising there, but I skimmed the family of ad webpages affiliated with it years ago and, no, I would never shop there. The vibe I got was that anyone who used it would be asking for trouble and run the risk of getting robbed, meeting a pimp, or catching something (a beating, a bullet, an STI, etc). Whether or not that was a realistic impression, just the ads I remember seeing gave me the impression that it wasn’t worth it especially based on the quality of most of the “talent” advertising there. If for some reason I only had access to those sites, I would quit the hobby, but that’s just me.
