Some strippers on Twitter have said they think a recession and a stock market crash are guaranteed – because strip clubs are suddenly empty.
A passing woman @botticellibimbo on the platform said the following about the clubs: “The strip club is unfortunately a leading indicator, and I can promise you all that we are in a recession, lmao.”
“I get stock alerts just to decide if it’s worth going to work,” she wrote in a later tweet.
People took to the comments section of her post to confirm her feelings about strip clubs, as well as their own experiences in other industries that seemed to be on the decline.
“Nah fr, reading all these articles, journalists and economists are like we’re not in a recession, we might not even have one this year or next… like the club is dead baby wym,” one wrote.

“Tbh I think we’ve been in a recession since fall 2020,” another added.
A third wrote: ‘It’s getting expensive there. It’s probably going to get worse unfortunately,’ added another.
Another, who is a ‘mailman’ wrote: ”I am a mailman and noticed the lack of package volume from a client of mine who has a home business. S**** is gonna get the worst smh,” someone added.
According to data from market research group IBISWorld, it estimates US strip club profits fell by more than 12% to $1.4bn (£1.2bn) in 2018 , compared to $1.6 billion in 2012.
The research group also noted that annual revenue growth for US strip clubs was 4.9% between 2012 and 2017. It eventually slowed to 1.9% from 2013 to 2018 and is expected to face a another decline of 1.7% by 2023.
Industry revenues are also estimated to have decreased by 17.4 percent in 2020.
