Why reviewing?
There’s the notion of consumers empowerment and then there are various motives, some of which are conflicting to different extents with the said notion.
While some consumers post reviews with the sole intent of sharing information, there are others who are pursuing diverse agendas: shillling, deceive, project flattering images of oneself
, seek compensation and fulfillment
, the list extends.
For example, the busiest reviewer for the last two years recently confessed that the main intent behind his reviews is to promote escorts who, as he wrote it, “deserve it”. As a result, his appreciation of the ladies, as he further advised, is often inflated.
His reviews, essentially exercises in self-adulation and moralistic ranting, often describe activities that are outside the normal scope of the SP trade, hence provide very little detail, if any at all, that peer consumers can put to good use. Has the reviewer even engaged in sex with the reviewed SP is a question that often remains unanswered.
I won’t point to other reviewer’s apparent flaws or contradictions without addressing my own case. My reviews, often qualified as erotically charged or downright graphic, are yet far more suggestive – purposely suggestive - than descriptive. Appreciation of my reviews vary: while some are entertained, others, who prefer reviews that are more prosaic, are annoyed by the sometimes comical (
Poor Lay Franssayz) other times exalted/comical style (i.e.
My CBE with Miss Samantha).
Why do I review may find answers in motives that are not incompatible with the mission statement of review boards: share information.
Conversely, I realize that my reasons for reviewing are not fully compliant with the idea of sharing information.
I write reviews more for the sake of being creative and having fun than to inform.
