SESTA/FOESTA drove a bunch of guys away from review sites. Providers and clients learned to use social media to communicate with each other and people stopped relying on them.
Providers started openly complaining about review boards and review culture and they were mostly correct about it. Unfortunately, most guys on review boards/sites/forums are incredibly cheap, misogynistic guys who resent that they have to pay for sex. They project that resentment onto providers and other clients. They'll pay a girl $300 an hour and act like they are a big money client. They are disrespectful, entitled and vindictive. They usually insist that the board become a race to the bottom and drag everyone down with them.
When I first started seeing providers years ago, providers would thank me for writing positive reviews. These days providers will avoid seeing reviewers and leaving a review can get you blacklisted. To be fair, do the providers need reviews, especially established ones? Gina Rollins is a legend, does she need reviews anymore? Ingrid4You had tons of positive reviews, kept getting them, and delisted. There are girls who have delisted who are charging $3000 for 2 hours. Do they need reviews? Do their clients need reviews?
Not to mention fake reviews. Girls figured out the game and started leaving themselves glowing reviews. You have to review the reviews to try and figure out if they are legit. I'm just here to avoid getting ripped off but unfortunately...
I'm with you, being on the boards is bad. They are filled with miserable guys who openly disrespect the only women fucking them and get mad when everyone else isn't on their level.
