Everything's getting more expensive around here. Tributes have been rising too, for sure; pro dommes are skilled women, there's barriers to entry (skill, innate talent, ability to run her own business, not-insubstantial investment in tools & outfits), and their costs and risks are rising. Totally understand why rates are going the way they are .

I think it's always healthy to re-examine whether you can afford a particular hobby/activity, whether you should be doing it less often if you can't afford it, and whether there's any way you can scratch your femdom itch any other way (time to start going to munches and find a non-pro partner? time to start exploring femdom with fbsm providers or on seeking.com?). I adjust the mix often
