I agree with everything you said, except you failed to mention how reviews help to drum up business for providers. If more providers gave a review discount, there would be more reviews. I believe that most guys who see providers understand this and if the service isn't up to par with what they are giving up... no review.... or a bad review. And most guys don't like to write up bad ones it seems. Myself included, it's kind of embarrassing in a way. I've even had a provider, she who shall not be named, ask for me to do a review before I even seen her. All my reviews are honest so I refused. Regarding a lot of the recent reviews I've been reading, they do seem kind of forced and if not, fake, it makes sense. I've never had a provider not send me a thank you after I've done a review on her... albeit I've only got 6 reviews and 1 of them is a OMG NO. But all of them have said their phones went silly after that.
Basically what I'm saying is, the provider gains the most from the review and all the person who takes the time to write the review gets is "Hey guys, I did this with her" kind of notch on the bedpost kind of thing. Why are you worried about it with nearly 40 reviews?
