From a provider's recent perspective: The OG Friendboy (previously rentboy) site was great and I was able to meet quality gents. Back from a hiatus, I reviewed different sites to post my ad. I was surprised to see Friendboy.pro active again...

I browsed providers in my local area and something seemed off... most of the profiles had a generic contact me... then I saw the tell tale AI generated photo slop... then I saw 2 of my own past profiles regurgitated😶

The pictures are not me, but everything else from stats to profile verbiage are all me.
I don't know what happens when someone tries to contact the AI-generated profiles, but it looks like they all link back to fbagency.

Putting on my thinking cap, there are 2 possible avenues:
It's legit (as any website could be). The brand took some heat and did a soft relaunch. The AI generated profiles are from past members and there as a facade to site visitors and for site indexing. In my city, there were only a handful of real profiles (they had actual contact info).  It's not legit. They lure providers with a low barrier to entry to signup, then request personal and payment data to make the ad active. Now, you're compromised. I was suspect and still am but am going to sign up and cautiously see how it goes... 
 

I had one regular that I had been seeing for maybe 7 years when I realized the hourly rate he was charging was well below the market rate. I would usually book for two hours and I also paid for the hotel (he doesn’t use his home). So I just raised the amount I gave him (in addition to tip).  At one point I just asked him what his current rate is and mentioned I had been assuming a higher rate for a couple years but I wanted to be sure it was enough.  He said that he wasn’t going to ask me for a higher rate from me but he had noticed the increase and I was right with the amount I guessed and he appreciated my thoughtfulness. I didn’t want him to prefer booking someone else.  I told him to just tell me in the future when his rates change and it has been several years more without another increase.  
 
Whenever a have a repeat visit with someone else I always ask them to confirm the current rate and lately most of them tell me a higher rate nowadays.  I confirm that still works for me but that avoids any awkwardness when we meet.
