I think I was a B+/C research assistant but I'm definitely an A+++ provider!
i lost my side income (recession related) and I started providing soon after. I don't know what to compare it to? But my business is pretty darn good! If it were any better, then thatd just be insane!
LOL. But welcome! I'm insatiable!
I also heard that summers are slow because kids etc. I feel a tiny boost in business but I'm not sure if that's because I now have reviews?
Good Post OP

B players pretty much come and go. They neither get ahead nor fall behind, as a whole.
All of that to say, that it's the BAD providers that struggle during a recession, period. Good providers will continue to get what they deserve, since they are B+, A, A+ players, etc.
As far as us hobbyists go, it's all a matter of perspective. Those of us that view the hobby as entertainment/luxury may scale back if our wallets get a little bit tighter. Those of us that rely on the hobby for some sort of mental/physical relief will often continue to hobby, if not increase our hobbying, and just trim back on all of the other things in our lives that don't matter as much.
I also started hobbying in this economy, so my budget has only grown as things have progressed. When I first started, I was able to see maybe a decent provider for an hour. Now, I can see multiple providers, float a sugar baby, and still have some flexibility.
