Examiner at it again

The first thing that strikes me is that the journalist is not very good at maths. Even I know that 600 is not half of 900! How can that be 50% more? Maybe a third more?

A 100% increase would be from 600 to 1200. So maybe he got one thing correct lol

Just to say in the print edition they printed a screenshot of the opening page of EI, with the escort pictures blurred, a very large picture.
90 female escorts advertising in cork today, a record I think.
Very few escorts charging €50, article kind of implies they all are.

Certainly reads like an ad for ei in parts.

Such advertisement would normally be clearly in breach of the laws on the promotion of prostitution. However, as the website is hosted outside the State in Britain, it can escape any legal censure.

I don't believe that is the case. The site is administered from the UK, but is hosted elsewhere if I am not mistaken.

When Wikileaks released their trove of US embassy cables it was discovered that Ruhama had been in contact with the US authorities in the hope that they would shut down the site when it was hosted in the US.

Aha I did say maths wasn't my strong point lol. That's honesty for you. Still I wonder if they have checked out trends and taken the statistics from the same month from each year, or taken them from different months? Numbers often tend to increase with Christmas up and coming. I reckon it is likely to be statistic manipulation, which isn't exactly a new thing.

The numbers have increased hugely, whether that is as another poster alluded to an increase in ACTUAL escorts or DUPLICATE
profiles i dont know. What i do know is that back 5 or 6 years ago (end of boom start of recession) the general amount of
profiles for Cork would be 40 to 50 dropping as low as the 30s and maybe peaking in the 60s now its much much higher.
Another change i see which maybe accounts for so much flucutation is that the girls now move much more often staying
only maybe 2 days in a place where before they would stay a week or two, i guess this has to do with work not being as
plentiful.
What this suggests is that Clients and Escorts have been hit by the recession but E-I has actually thrived

Not just E-I, the industry generally, as people are obviously still paying to see escorts.

Parts of the industry not all the industry, surely escorts are a huge part of the industry and they have not thrived , at minimum
they have seen a 50% decrease in their rates (in many cases much more) plus the fact that they are just not seeing as many
clients per day as before. I would venture many have seen their earnings decline by 100% or more , i know they may
have been dropping from quite high earnings but that really is not the point, at the end of the day they arent taking home
what they used to so thats hardly thriving

The point I was actually making is that clients are still spending the money despite the recession.

Earnings decline by 100%?...surely you mean 50%


I have heard escorts mention having days without any visitors.
I agree with ber in much what he said.
