Think what you like, the lot of you. Quite frankly, I couldn't give a toss. I have my reasons for doing what I do. Besides, a large majority of WG's who try and display their phone number for free are fakes anyway. The genuine WG's rarely cheat the system.
WG's can earn lots of money a day (as well as a few quid for their private photos), but then a select few try and save 1 credit (or whatever it costs these days) by not paying to display their phone number. It's really comical. As if 1 credit (£1) is going to affect their daily earnings.
Yes, AW may make loads of money, but then that's the business they're in. Having previously being involved in web development, it's not cheap. Equipment, servers, manpower, to name but a few all have to be paid for. AW ain't a charity, and don't pretend to be one. That said, I know AW can be right greedy bastards from past experience of running profiles for people.
And as for the pimp comments. Ha ha. I used to manage a couple of profiles for friends. They were crap at using computers, but good in the sack. They appreciated that I got on with what I was good at, while they got on with what they were good at. Do you really think all the AW profiles are run by the person who's advertising?
