Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.
