You are right, price might be effect of Yummy shooting in Medellin now, too.
It may also be based on very high social media fellowing of Sara Taylor, I didnt check this factor. All I said is that 9,91TKT for a 1on1 is a very high end price given 1on1 anal fee is Medellin is much lower than in Prague.
while the positive of Yummy setting up a second shop in colombia is (one hopes) that fans of latina models might hope see more scenes starring colombian being released (eg. Sussy Sweet shot for both Natasha and Yummy last month), the potential negative (for the consumer) is that while colombia is blessed (or 'blessed', thanks to Tom for explaining that to me) with unimaginable numbers of beautiful women, if two studios are interested in the same model then inevitably that is going to work to that model's negotiating advantage, leading to an above average fee for that model which the studio then has to pass on to the consumer in order to balance the books
for a few years (since LTP and its variants closed for business) Natasha's studio has been the only xxx game in town. if local models didn't want to shoot for Natasha then they had to travel to other countries in the region (with the added travel and accommodation costs that incurs, which for most will make it economically unviable), content themselves with online options (camming etc), xxx pole/lap dancing clubs, or (for those models who consider it an option) sex work
so Natasha could set her price and stick to it, and for the models it was a case of take it or leave it, and the end price for the consumer (often extremely modest, compared to euro and US prices) reflected that
but with the arrival of Yummy in town, that old paradigm may be in the process of being broken, and consumers will need to realise this and accept it if that becomes the new status quo for colombian xxx
it's not inevitable, as both studios could decide that co-operation rather than competition suits their mutual interests best, and together agree a fixed pricing schedule for models' fees which they commit not to deviate from. that 'could' effectively put a ceiling on what they are prepared to offer models. as to how workable such a schedule would be in practice, only those invloved will know. but until anything of that kind exists, we have to accept that it's now a model's market re asking price
that said, there is a positive for consumers in the potential increase in fees for models in colombia, in that as potential renumeration rises, many more models may well be tempted into the industry that may otherwise have stayed in camming and the other xxx adjacent things mentioned above. and more models avaaible to shoot should lead to more content being produced
and (ironically) it could be this gradual increase in the supply side (due to the prospect of higher fees), that ultimately keeps fees from getting out of control (and thereby achieving the same end as a potential fee pact between Natasha and Yummy)
all unknowns, and all open to change and revision at any point, such is economics. but all we can say is that Yummy entering the colombian picture is inevitably going to disrupt the status quo there, and how that resolves itself (and to whose ultimate advatage, hopefully everyone's) we can only guess
but until it does, fans need to anticipate/expect the current order to be subject to change and revision (including pricing) while the system remains in a state of flux

but (to be brutally honest) what's going on in Prague anymore, really? for all intents and purposes that scene looks to be over, bar raking through the ashes. things have changed and we need to accept that and move on
