Brothels had their own website. Girls worked and mingled together. I would hear of rivalries between girls to be Queen. And I remember one situation where a girl was in tears because she had a negative income day. She paid her shift fee to the house, did her shift, and got no bookings. So came to work but lost money. I felt for her.
Then things changed. New options. Crews and other escort website appearred. Backpage was popular until it got shut down by fbi. Crews like
Full Face and
A-Hotel offered a different work style for some girls. Some girls i have spoken to, wanted to avoid the brothel scene where rivalries can emerge. In
FFC the girls have shifts and rooms. They can mingle if they wish. In
A-Hotel scene the girl was assigned a hotel room. They usually stay in the hotel room.
