This is more of a comment rather than a question but open for people to express their opinions and observations on this topic as I think it would be good.  

Social media, especially Twitter, is a great research tool for hobbyists. Ladies tend to post their newest pictures there, and yes you can often tell from a provider’s posts whether you’ll enjoy her company. There’s one lady in Vegas who was on my radar. As I read her Twitter I found that she repeatedly whined about customers and potential customers. Definitely a no go for me. Only Fans is another good tool. Again we can see recent pictures, and if they post videos we can get an idea of how they are in bed. It’s a cheap vehicle that has saved me big donations a few times.

I don't think I really get your premise.  

I agree that the power dynamic has completely been upended. The women now have the upper hand. It is certainly a "sellers market" at the moment, for lack of a better term.  
To answer your question though, it is much harder for me, personally, to research a prospective provider these days than years past re: sexual compatibility. No question about that. But Twitter (and other platforms on social media) are great insights into a lady's personality, especially if viewed over months/years. So the power shift has made it easier to find that compatibility of personality but it has made it harder to find the sexual compatibility I/we all crave.  
Does that make any sense? Hope so. Thank you for this thread!

Someone who has compromising information on another person, knowing that persons pii info, will always have the upper hand.  

If I can make a comparison to my little corner of the food service industry which is high-end catering, those who kept their opinions to themselves and push only the service they provide (menus, pictures of food and cocktails, types of clientele served, etc.) are seemingly the only ones within a two-state radius who have survived the pandemic. Of course, that is if the service provided was of note to begin with. Of the businesses that I’ve known, and this includes what has been confirmed by former colleagues in the restaurant industry in my area, those who are woke have indeed gone or are going broke. While this mainly applies to privately-owned businesses, it still goes to show that not every business entity benefits from being so forthcoming about their beliefs.

I'm very curious to know what are the complaints about clients that providers are making on social media? And what exactly did a client do that was so upsetting to the provider that she published his private information online?

I don’t think there is anything that gives us a right to blast complaints on social media. In my opinion those ladies are bitter and should probably stop providing… idk though

...any naturally occurring competition wouldn't pit the seller against the buyer given they're on the opposite sides of the transaction.

Has anyone else noticed that Twitter correctly assumes it is you clicking those provider profiles, even though you're logged out and in incognito mode? Chrissakes you need a VPN to keep them bastards from tracking ya!

I think you and other providers have a right to complain in general. Of course it probably wouldn't be great for your image, but you certainly have a right to. I "complain" on here a lot and it'd be hypocritical to say providers can't complain in a public social media domain.

Incognito mode won't actually do much other than hide your browsing history from your significant other lol and even your own router might keep incriminating records of your virtual wandering eye.

posting again.  I have always thought you had the best 40's-style-pin-up-girl photo shoots on TER, regardless of provider gender.  Kudos.  

Most of the providers that you review are procured through K-Girl agencies and rub houses.  Though you think that the 345 reviews puts you in the position of authority on all subjects, you do in fact have a huge void in your experience as the "fantasy you are buying is with the Mamasan or booker" on the phone.  

a vagina.  Its cheaper on the long run for me just to rent one when I need to.  Lol

Nope, I’ve been told the same and also that they are more likely to try to sneak the condom off or be short on the donation. I don’t want to pass judgement on any groups though since there’s no way for me to know the truth. I’ve certainly heard more stories from providers than I can count though.

That's always been my reaction. I can't imagine what's going through their minds that they use their marketing profile to spew negativity, in particular when it's invective about customers! Get another profile if you want to show your full personality, but for the sake of business, keep your biz profile positive. OTOH, thanks for letting me know that you're bitter and probably a bummer to be around.
 
The only case I've seen where the girl's straying from a marketing stance seemed wholly justified was an independent who posted pictures of her badly bruised face under the subject of 'this is why I now require verification.' It was bad. It was shocking.

I personally have no issues with girls "spewing negativity" on those accounts as long as it wasn't reflective of their attitude during the appointment. And of course as I've already mentioned, disclosing pii info.

Why the remark: "The best has to be a provider who takes herself as a full blown Democrat, but her ad says no AA."
 
I don't think the acceptability of providers looking after their own safety should be based on party affiliation. Maybe, but I don't think so.

If it floats, flies or fucks, rent it.

I just like to keep it real.  You have a great attitude.  Someday, you and I are going to meet.  :-P

Call me dumb but I do not understand "The Power Play" in the context of TER.  TER platform has several forms of power plays between both genders.  Reviews, Discussion Boards, White List, Black List.  

I know Mya would beat the current MS TER by a factor of at least 10-1

one of a kind.  If they allowed voting from members, we could be "vote pimps."  Lol

Vote pimps. I like that. Reminds me of my years playing in the Playboy Girls of Golf events in the 2000s. At both the regional and national events the guys got to vote for the ladies who would advance and ultimately get pics in the magazine. At the National event we all stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt. Imagine, 120 guys and 240 beautiful ladies staying in the same hotel and traveling on the same busses. Damn, I miss those days!  Even your good buddies and close personal friends BPOS and HH could have gotten laid if they had been there (or at least got a beautiful girl to their room before their equipment failed and the girls skipped out laughing).

I was making a off-taste joke about hypocrisy. Are jokes still allowed here?

Got it! It's not the first time ultra-dry humor has gone right over my head, or my ultra-dry humor over somebody else's. That was desert dry. Never mind.

I think the difference between TER and Twitter as far as power balance is solely in that on TER a provider in a conversation can get drowned out by guys, the typical dog pile.  But one on one at a session, that's more fundamental and unchanging.  That's more purely market driven, supply and demand.  
.
I do think negativity on twitter or any platform is probably a bit counter-productive, but also that men don't really view women by their curriculum vitae (resume.)
.
As much as a guy might not like a complaining provider or political adversary, he's much more likely to base any engagement on that age old motivator ... physical beauty.

...and learned early on that saying bad things about my competition, my potential customers or my existing customers was a great way to run my business into the ground.

I have been in sales for forty years and you are absolutely correct! Early on in my career a superior had this saying framed on his wall.  I have tried to follow it ever since.

And the sad part is, most of these ladies don't even know their personal opinions are turning off customers.  They think business is slow for everyone right now.  Not so.  I know many ladies that know how to avoid unnecessary controversy that are doing quite well.  

First of all, if it wasn't for the Providers (who provide the entertainment for you guys). Then you guys would have to us your imagination and jerk of.  And as far as making money. Us "THE PROVIDERS" could find regular job, but why should we when we can play on your hormones & get paid for it. Who has the upper hand now?

The market reflects power in price.  Price seeks an equilibrium.  Power balances.
