Yes, this is why I advertise here. A lot of people see our ads and our comments but don't participate. I always ask how someone found me and I would say that a lot of clients have found me here but either don't have an account or never made any posts (or very very few)Oh no, we don't only attract MERB users, far from it. Most of my clients who found me on here were only looking and not participating. I would have stopped many years ago otherwise; the pool of MERB users is actually quite small.
I'm not a client and I can't really say what client's needs are, but what I've heard from many people is that they just check reviews to see if someone is legit or not. Like someone else said, active merb users are a small percentage of clients. Most clients don't even leave reviews or rarely leave them.
