What's happened to Backpage?

[daddyj]

Over the last few weeks there's been an insane flood of 10x the number of posts that I've seen in the past. Someone in the industry recently told me they reduced the fee to post from $10 to $1. It seems to be flooded with a bunch of B&S type posts. It's frustrating because it's seems to be getting a lot harder to get to the 'real' posts

Anyone else notice this?

I posted on this topic on the weekend. A noxious Asian...with an auto feature that keeps ads at the top.

Use the search feature.... Enter...blonde..or freak....or ???? To DRASTICALLY narrow down the field!

I noticed this recently, as well. When one poster does it, other similar businesses must follow suit in order to stay visible, and it snowballs from there.

I heard it's apparently free?

When a place is not regulated well enough then chaos ensues.

A few months ago both visa and MasterCard were pulled as payment option to "help prevent the spreading of human trafficking". they were under a lot of pressure from the president of some sort of association in the states to do so. Cut the supply/you cut the demand in their eyes

Backpage backfire by making ads free for previous advertisers until it get solves. You have the option of paying by Bitcoin or sending a money order but I doubt really anyone use this

Free... Not fre... Payment choice...doesn't matter


Really doesn't take away from the fact the Asians are being abnoxioux in there posting style.

Do they not realize it deters business.

I use searches like : blonde or Caucasian or Canadian , Italian, .... ones like that help a lot.

It's a free ad for 24 hours then it costs $1 to bump it up sooner or make another one

and what sucks about this is that people from different cities are posting in cities there not working out of , so yes back page is a mess right now.

I once searched through 100pages of BP ads. Guess what I found. ASIANS ASIANS ASIANS. all apparently college/university students, fresh from every other Asian country other than China for some reason.
