I've stopped advertising with them. They attract nothing but dross (probably because you can't even use the word 'sex!')

VS, we might as well be advertising tea and crumpets although you'd probably ban that too because of the connotation.

Until you decide whether to focus on people selling lawnmowers or people selling sex (with the relevant words I want to use that not only suggest but explicitly state what I am selling) then you are binned!

Keep up the good work with all the pimps and fanny shots though!

I’ve stopped advertising with them since 2016. They are useless at communicating with their genuine customers but they have no issues with pimps posting their adverts with pussy in full show.

Also, while it was hardly a stunning piece of journalism, the recent Panorama programme made it clear their safety/verification checks are a joke – dozens of escorts shared the same phone numbers.

Many migrant workers share phone numbers as it means that the person who is most confident on the phone can do the admin

I can never understand how they have a menu for ticking sex services but you cannot write anything similar on your profile. Also the fact they never know why a ad has been turned down by saying remove each word is insane customer service. That is why i stopped using them as everything seems too much hard work and that is withput 99% if the callers being fantasist timewasters.

I have not advertised with them for ages because i got fed up with the timewasters and found it hard to find out things with customer services and the automated services that don't tell you why the ad not gone on etc.

Think i will give it a go again as i think a lot of clients will start looking here again and if more genuine sex workers start using it with realistic photos and look genuine then that could work in our interest.

I am not working today but I swear I have had over 20 calls and messages today from my new basic ad. £8.99.  Not sure if they are all timewasters but thought would see how it goes.

I have moved it to my spare work mobile now too so I can tell which are from Viva and which will be adult work etc.

I spent £158 on advert this week. I purchased most of the expensive features.  I thought if I would make it back.   Every single client has been a "no show", has multiple clienteye warnings, rude, drunk,  sounded rough and dodgy.  Not had 1 single booking from it. NOT EVEN 1. Waste of money, I actually loss money, putting up the advert.

that’s an insane amount, I’d begrudge spending that a month.

It's a lot of money when you do not get the return for it and spend too much time dealing with fantasist rude timewasters. If you got a lot of business from it then it could be justified but i don't know any that spend that amount and it is worth while. A basic ad would be just as beneficial i think from my past experience.

It runs out on Sunday, so will either get the cheapest option, or just not bother at all. I think I need another separate phone, just for vivastreet clientele

If I was spending that amount without a good return I’d be seriously thinking where I was going wrong!
