That’s actually a good question.
I can only speak for myself obviously. For one thing, writing reviews is fun at first but after some time in this world it starts to look a lot like work lol. It becomes a chore.
For some time now, I’ve only been seeing women with lots of reviews. (And repeating a lot with a small batch of regulars.) So if someone has pages of reviews and my experience falls in line with those descriptions, what’s the point in me writing another one? How many times does the same thing need to be said?
A long time ago, in a different TER life, I wrote many many reviews. I saw a lot more new-ish women. I was first review for a couple, saw several who had no reviews when I scheduled with them but a couple were published before I got mine written, and saw a lot of ladies with only a handful of them. So I felt like writing those reviews was a help for the ladies and other clients alike. Now the landscape has changed dramatically and I’m a lot more careful.
I’ve also experienced some frustration with trying to keep it a little classy, not having graphic descriptions in the reviews. When I write them like that, they don’t get approved. Admin says “not enough details”. That seems wildly arbitrary though. I’ve read reviews that got approved with only a fraction of the details that I had provided in the ones that got shot down. Whatever
This place runs on clicks. People are making money off clicks. The product driving the clicks is having lots of reviews. Basically, we the clients are the production department and we pretty much work for free. I see a LOT of things the site owners could do to make the reviews and profiles more accurate, accessible and useful. But none of it ever happens.
I woke up one day and said meh, I’ll write reviews if the lady asks for one or if there’s something that other clients need to be warned about. There’s a couple of providers I’ve decided I’ll see in the near future who have less than a page of reviews. I’ll review them.
Yes, I do see the hypocrisy in that, I check reviews here but I hardly write them anymore. But, I don’t use the reviews here for the gory graphic play by play of the sessions. That’s not what I’m here for. I have a deep understanding that YMMV is very real. Each encounter is its own, each connection is its own. I’ve read enough reviews of women I’ve seen a dozen times or more to know those gory details are BS a huge percentage of the time anyway. That’s not why I’m here.
I just want to know if she’s legit. Is she a cop or a scammer? Is she going to try to blackmail me? Does she look something like the pics? Is she sweet and fun, or jaded? If she’s a fun and optimistic person, we’ll have a great time together one way or another and that’s not solely dependent upon a few acronyms.
So in order to get them published, I have to include stuff in my reviews that, for the most part, isn’t really relevant to why I’m reading the reviews.
A lot of guys get backlash from the providers over the reviews, even reviews they thought were very positive. That’s happened to me. Some guys think that by not writing reviews they’re protecting themselves from prosecution and/or being caught by a SO. That’s not a concern of mine but it is for others.
I guess the TL;DR for me is that I used to be a prolific reviewer and I burnt out.
