If it took off enough to be reliable as a shopping/review method, it would quickly be shut down and folks would be scrambling around like they are now.

The real solution is for folks to establish companies in other countries to run web hosting, advertising, and review sites for US services. If the US government pressures the government of the host country sufficiently to jeopardize the service, be prepared to hop to another country.

I don't blame the services for trying to operate in the US, but it might have been a little naive to think the puritans in the US would allow this to grow and flourish in the states.

Also, it's the internet, and it's the 21st century. There's no reason to base this stuff in the US.

BTW... I'm aware of at least one other review site (which pre-dated SESTA/FOSTA) and is currently operating with a foreign domain suffix. It wasn't used that much before, but that's changing.

I have no doubt TER will do the same, and very quickly.

Gals offering their services on Amazon, with reviews on Yelp.

... bring down amazon.com and Yelp, yes, that would probably work.

(If I ever get any.)

But remember:   You can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs.

I'm always looking for a professional assistant... and the reviews could help me understand how well she handles "dictation". 😎

A whole new set of erotic code words are going to be needed.   Dictation is a good start.

 
I could see others like manual touch typing skills, and Filing Service.  (nudge, nudge, wink, wink)

Amazon is already deleting mere erotics writers / publications. Seems free speech free press it literally a myth. Even rolling stone, cris crocker, washington post were shadow banned for publishing related facts. Google and others banning word usage altogether. Talk about being the canary in the coal mine. We are merely a precedence of what America is settling for. The simple right to express in protest is deleted.

As I recall, Facebook, Google, and many other Giant Companies came out openly in support of Fosta Sesta. After all, too much competition threatened their monopolistic positions and their ability to profit from every click.  
They wanted to keep and expand their profits.

If FB, Google, Amazon, Yelp, and the other major players suddenly find themselves at risk to go to jail as users are able to make the occasional punishable post, let's see what happens ... and what happens after that.  
.
In an effort to protect their Officers from the risk of going to jail, they are sanitizing their pages and removing anything potentially provocative.  ("We wanted you to send the BP guys to jail, not us!")  They are being actively complicit in the erosion of Free Speech.  
.
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
   Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
   Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
   Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

(NOTE: Congressional inquiries about Facebook and the undisclosed abuse of personal information and information breaches is separate from FREE SPEECH and other issues.)

Those troubling thoughts, given that net neutrality officially ends in the U.S. tomorrow.

I'm sure there are many more pragmatic people there. Perhaps, I'll get in trouble, because though I'm a true atheist.
I have been known to yell "oh god" in the throws of ecstasy!
