So, this topic came up in a conversation a while ago, and honestly, I didn't pay much attention to it. But now, with recent events and after going through the roster, things are starting to make sense. Hear me out on this one. AIA started off strong in the game. They had some of the top models in the industry, with Brittany Andrews leading the pack when she was in high demand. Not many people noticed, but AIA had a majority of the MILFs on their roster back then which they still do. The verification process was a piece of cake. You'd usually know within a couple of days if you were verified, and any questions you emailed were almost instantly answered.Now, when exactly did AIA start fading into the background of the hobby? It took me a little time to recall when I started seeing AIA go downhill, but it hit me like a lightning bolt. AIA began to fade when their roster slowly started shrinking, especially when they lost their best models. Richelle Ryan used to be one of their models, actually one of the first ones, until she left them. That was back in 2020. Richelle was pretty active in the hobby, serving a lot of clients, and AIA was a top way to get in touch with her. Nobody wanted to go through the alternatives. That's when I should have realized AIA was on a downward spiral.
I couldn't understand why providers were leaving AIA until rumors started circulating. Apparently, AIA wasn't properly doing verification checks. Providers were being sent to meet clients who looked nothing like their pictures and made them feel super uncomfortable.
As time went by, the roster slowly started to replenish, but it lacked the eye-catching providers they had before. Now, in the present day, the AIA roster is still good, but it's nothing like its former glory. Many of the models aren't very well-known. They're either Playboy bunnies we haven't heard of in ages or pornstars you can book for a much cheaper rate independently, through PC, or most likely through @trystagency, if that's your thing.
Recently, AIA added Mellanie Monroe to their site. Mellanie is UTR (under the radar), but seriously, after just five minutes of searching, you can easily recognize her. Now, for those who aren't familiar, Mellanie has been known to be a bit of a scammer. Apparently, she would have clients book her, take their deposit, and then completely disappear, making off with their money. This information has been floating around from various sources on forums and whatnot. So, seeing AIA adding Mellanie to their roster makes you wonder if there's anyone actually steering the ship at that agency.
Honestly, I have no clue where AIA is headed, but I can honestly say they might not be in it for much longer if they keep going down this path. I'm just worried about the providers who might not have anywhere else to go once AIA goes under. But hey, with other agencies out there that are better, it probably won't take them long to find a new home.
