(An explanation of “Hooker Ads”)

It was an up week for Hooker Ads, starting with 12 on Monday and ending with 14 Friday.

Friday became the first day to pass 800 total ads. Tuesday and Thursday have yet to even total 500.

As such, Tuesday and Thursday were the only days this week to lower their weekly average.

The trend is noticeably up over the last few weeks, matching the highs of a few months prior.

Sort of odd timing…
