I've always been puzzled by why some members choose to keep gem’s to themselves rather than sharing it with others on this forum. What's the purpose of being part of this community if you're not willing to engage and contribute? I believe being a member should involve sharing and contributing to the community. Personally, I find joy in uncovering hidden gems and sharing them with fellow members, especially to offset those who prefer to keep such gem’s to themselves.It's a shame when members keep these gem’s to themselves, as it shows a lack of generosity that may extend beyond the online world.
The discussion of hidden gems always makes me think of this wonderful quote from comedy What we do in the Shadows,
"Vladislav: I think of it like this.
If you are going to eat a sandwich, you would just enjoy it more if you knew no one had fucked it." Lol
I understand both perspectives, keeping something precious for yourself is animal nature.
Wanting to share the gem to help others find the joy you have.
For me there is the fear that a good review draws the wrong attention to the provider. So many negative reviews and overly critical reviewers or it becomes extremely difficult to see them. This was the case for me with one girl I particularly liked, great reviews and booking her became extremely challenging. Great for her, though I missed my time. To be clear I review both good and bad.
I don't think it wrong to keep a gem for one's self, but to hoard gems like some greedy sex dragon is not in the spirit or vibe of merb imo.
