Question for our culturally-aware Chinese brothers...

[metellier]

Gents,
What do you think the response of providers who advertise in World Journal would be to a sudden increase in inquiries for their services from gweilos (whether texted in bad Google-ese neo-Chinese or in plain old English)?
Would they see the opportunity/market/$$ potential or
Would they just ignore despite the volume or
Would they just switch up phone numbers or
Would they just migrate to Wechat?

Appreciate hearing your culturally atuned thinking on this...

You might sometimes get through but when you get to the door, they'll see you're not Asian, or whatever characteristics they don't accept, and reject you. Happened to me before even though I am Asian, just don't speak the language.
