Likely the local council cracking down perhaps?
Trying to search for some happy endings in the shire and usually see ads on locanto but now I dont see any.
Any idea why?
Not advertising ?
Crackdown?
Yeah mate, you're not imagining it — Locanto’s been wiped pretty clean lately, especially for certain areas like the Shire.
A few things could be going on:
Ongoing crackdowns — Locanto’s been under pressure from law enforcement and their own hosting policies. So a lot of "massage" or "relaxation" ads are getting flagged or pulled down.
Shops/agencies moving elsewhere — Many have shifted to other platforms (like Scarlet Blue, Secret Hostess, or even WeChat for regulars).
Private client base — Some smaller independents don’t even advertise anymore. They just rotate between regulars or get referrals.
If you're looking for HE in the Shire, you might have more luck walking into a few "remedial massage" places and seeing what kind of vibe you get — old-school style. Or ask around in punters groups.
Locanto isn't what it used to be. You gotta dig deeper these days.
The shire has always been fairly sparse in this regard anyway. But yeah I did some searching and there isn't much at all.
Yeah even just searching massage was nothing.
I live in the Shire anyway so I know most a fair few places i can go to but it was good to see possible new places or rosters or whatever
Thought all the ads got wiped at first, but turns out they just got stricter with the location filter, if you have it on “Entire Area” then it will only the few ads that are somehow located in the suburb you’re searching. If you toggle it to +5km or above more ads show up
Locanto has provided me a fair few desperate junkys over the years, some are hot. But I only ever get them to jerk me off and I cum on their face. Too risky for anything else.
Yes very true. I have notched up quite a few years on the old locanto/backpage/Craigslist and the quality has decreased steadily over the years. They're still out there, but very few and far between.
