the reactions of providers on Switter now that TER seems to be on life support.

It is part of Marketing 101.

or is it "Shittier"?  Either way I agree! And yes my reviews have been if great help to me as well.  

All I see on switter is "BBFS" chicks that I try to avoid at all costs and still have no idea how switter actually works.

Seems to be a lot of you're able to effectively glean how most providers feel based on your time on Switter.  

Was about to post a proper reply but then saw it was you.. So stopped and deleted original reply.  

I've noticed that too. In fact, my latest follower from there is some chick who openly advertises as BB friendly.

....and have had great success. Their prices ranged from $300 - $500/hr which is kinda typical or even a bit lower than average for my high-priced area. None had a review that I could find so I went in blind on all of them. They all screened me and i would not have seen any of them had they not asked for references.

Makes it easy to understand why they failed after they are gone.  Also help oneself avoid the same maligned thoughts.

I have used reviews in the past to do my selection. It is helpful but not necessary. I now communicate with a group of guys I trust and we swap comments and target new ladies to pick the ones that work for us. I do have my MO to weed out those sad providers out there. Then I tend to stick to proven providers I enjoy for dinner, overnights and travel dates.  

You tried to compose a counterargument, realized you didn't have a foot to stand on, so you posted this bullshit instead.

Was it their presentation, back channel, intuition?

....so I went with their requests for rigid screening, a price range that was in the arena that I would expect (not too low nor too high) , how they responded to my first contact with them (including grammar & spelling), and lastly was just gut instinct. That last one is of course the most risky, but it has served me well in this hobby of ours.

As much value to me as the reviews themselves.  Oftentimes, I would be trying to choose a girl from several, and the best I could do was narrow it down to two.  So you go with your gut, when means you check the profile and pick the one with the biggest tits.  

That does seem to be subjecting the 'gut' to a lot of pressure..

Switter is just another version of BP.  I post, on there, but long for the days of TER. I worked hard for my reviews and hope TER i back, sooner then later.

I joined and found lots of providers but few good men  there. I had 2 guys who both cancelled after lots of communications. What we ladies call time wasters. They did leave a paper trail so other ladies sent me emails asking about them. They came up with the same assumption. I may still post once in awhile but not expecting anything other than it's free.

I must be slow, I cannot seem to make switter work

Don't worry about it I did find it of much value.

Switter is a waste. Just BP with a social media flare.

I've been on Switter for over 2 months and haven't come across any BBFS ad listings.  Exaggerate much?

Backchanneling has become essential for me.  And the info I'm getting has proven more useful than reviews.

Back channels get you the truth most times. Reviews are many times works of fiction... either aimed at punishing a provider, or inflated by fear of retaliation from a provider.

Ya'll have me kind of scared to log back into Switter.
It was fine with I left but haven't been on it about 12 days or so (been a bit more on IG).

Hope he did not and doesn't come back.

I second that.

I can not tell you how many people that have said they wished they could have read my reviews.  Some asked me if I had them copied, WHICH I DON'T.  My exposure on TER review site was where my clients found me.  This change has been devastating to my business.  

to any city overseas and travel frequently to the US. I have my reviews up

still access their own TER reviews,  so if you know some of the gents (or ladies) that have reviewed you in the past, you could ask them to send you a copy of their review of you.  If you could put together a string of eight or ten of them,  you would have something to show those that want to see some reviews before booking.  The other choice, if its viable for you, is to move to another country where your reviews would become visible again.  You could still tour back to the US a few times a year to see all of your old regulars while building up your business in your new home country.  

Yea and with my network, we will pop into each other's events from time to time. I have put on events and had fellow pooners join in.  We have even swapped providers. One of my past providers has got pretty serious one of the guys I introduced her too.

highly reviewed providers such as yourself would have 'scores/points' at the back of her mind during the session. I thought you'd always be in the flow and the ratings follow.
