The website is based in Toronto, Canada, but is available worldwide and includes user-generated listings for parks, saunas, public toilets and popular sex locations for men who have sex with men.
As many others have said. The customers service from the admin team is abysmal. It honestly feels like they hate their own customers. If it wasn’t for the cruising info the site would have disappeared long ago. I doubt many people actually pay subscriptions so they’re staying afloat from ad revenue.
Three years ago I signed up for lifetime auto-renew at the locked-in price of $59.95/yr. Each year since, Squirt aka Pressnet tries to charge me considerably more, $89 last year and $119 this year. Fortunately my CC blocks these transactions due to a high likelihood of fraud. I tried to remove my card, stop the auto-renew, or to delete my account. However, each time I log in to do this, Squirt attempts to charge my card, which is always blocked. The card issuer asked me to try to resolve this with Squirt/Pressnet. This year I tried to stop the auto-renew, but there is no option in the Account Preferences menu to do so. I contacted Squirt's CS, explaining the instructions don't help, and they replied with only a link to the very instructions that don't work, saying, "Try this." Even more odd, the Membership page is very different looking than it was yesterday. But still no option to stop auto-renew. In what I hope will be my final email with CS, they said there's no auto-renew option in my account preferences because there's no card on file. If so, then why does Squirt try to charge my card every time I log in still? Where is that card information kept? And there's no way to delete your account/profile, only to deactivate it - and this can be reversed. I was a Fan Club member for many years. But the removal of videos, the wonky unfinished half-web/half-mobile UI, and the failure to honor the price I agreed to, means I won't be on the site any longer.
If you want to find casual sex easily, squirt works, because it gives every encouragement to rampant casual sex. Sex addicts r us. But the use of crystal meth in the video chatrooms is very real and is out of control. They pretend to monitor it, but it’s obvious that in truth they don’t. The use of bongs is rampant. Even though crystal meth is a horrifically addictive drug that is illegal everywhere! I have the proof. squirt should be shut down.
I've been a paid member on Squirt.org for 26 years. The new & devolved format is a clumsy, time consuming beast that: *is counter intuitive, *no longer provides notifications unless you're online, *even then there's no audible notification as there used to be. Aside from raising the prices and reducing functionality the biggest insult is the arbitrary removal of the member video feature. The price is now $72 for SIX MONTHS. I pay $95 for a year at Grindr, a site at least 100 times better than squirt. Paid members are offered a desktop version as well as the mobile app. ADDITIONALLY, members can post their own 15 second video clips in their albums and are given the choice to share it with someone once, indefinitely or for a certain period of time. The last thing I have to say is the customer service for me, has always been superior to all other sites. That too has suffered. I suspect the company was sold. I don't know what else would account for such a radical shift and downward spiral. In any case, I will close my Squirt account when this period expires.
