If you're judging the reviews by your standards, I understand the frustration.  Your reviews stand out as very descriptive and nuanced, getting into intimate physical details, feelings and the vibe permeating the sexual journey.

Yes, it seems there are more junk reviews than before.  Many contain bland general descriptions in the 'Juicy Details' section and useless chronological reporting about events before the meeting in the 'General Details' section instead of a summary of the session.  The writing is sometimes so garbled that the reader has to guess what was going on.  And occasionally the reviewer gives a decent rating on performance, which is inexplicable given the disappointments described in the details.

Is it still worth it?  At the current price for VIP membership, and given the level of misrepresentation, fraud and worse in the TS provider universe, probably.  And are there any alternative sources?

As a provider, I've noticed a clear drop in the quality of reviews since the new "standards" came into being. I hear constantly from clients who /attempt/ to write me reviews that they constantly get kicked back because of scoring and wording. I've had at least a half dozen reviews never make it to positing because the writers just get so frustrated with the back and forth they just give up. Review writing kind of dig a bit into your souls, and I could see how having to annotate the color temperature (a bit of an exaggeration but not by much) of the lamps in the room.

That said, from a providers perspective, a paid membership is extremely valuable. I recently let my paid membership lapse for a couple weeks to see if it's something I really needed, and it turn out I do. Not only do the reviews you guys post help you in deciding who providers to see, but they also help is in terms of references. Without the paid membership, we can't even see if an account has written reviews, which makes screening that much more of a hassle. References aren't all that screening is, but they're definitely a great way to help make that overall determination.
