At least with AW I can move my profile at any point for no cost whatsoever, and they don't spam a load of other adverts all over mine. I notice the touring feature which VS was "developing" last year has never materialised. It's clear VS has thrown it's lot in with pimps agencies rather than independents which is disappointing to say the least.

Well this has made VS a pointless option for touring escorts then, bloody hell.

What with the lack of response to emails, piggybacking affiliate ads off our paid for advertising, lack of features and poor quality of clients, VS is now the bottom of the pile for me.

Hi losthope,

I'm really sorry to hear that you're unhappy about some of the adverts on Vivastreet.

They're there to offer users of the site alternative services that they may potentially be interested. It's a business decision to have them there.

They are really easy to click off of and you only need to do it once per session, which shouldn't affect how the majority of people are viewing your ad.

I can't help with any of this but I'll add that if I was paying top dollar for advertising and this was coming up over my ad I would be incandescent even if it was happening to everybody else's ads as well.

We've been assured that sex workers have to pay not just extra, but sky high costs to advertise on VS because the ads 'require moderation' that other ads do not (which I'm unconvinced about - I suspect if I tried to stick an ad in the gardening section it would be 'moderated' pretty damn fast) and now it appears that they're reselling space which somebody else has already paid for to secure for themselves?

Unbelievable.
