In the words of the late Kenneth Williams - Infamy, infamy, they've all got it infamy

[ciderhead]

What a shock, the world's oldest profession has moved with the times to use the Internet

[GoodIdea]

The quotes in there are from years ago as well.
Could have done with putting something more up to date and useful to their readers I would have thought.

[scutty brown]

Dunno why you posted that Rebecca, none of your reviews are on there! 

[paper7]

Lazy journalism trying to make a story out of nothing as usual.

  Another complained about his ‘punt’s’ chattiness: 

[PeachyAssFan]

The Post is a pile of shit and has gone downhill in terms of the quality of journalism over the past 20 years. They can scarcely give the rag away. Their website is a cluttered pile of shit too.

[Cunning Punt]

Dreadful. The first few hundred words state the fairly obvious then it suddenly says this:

"however the negative reviews make for uncomfortable reading and reflect a disregard for the workers’ wellbeing"

No, they are reviews of services, just like TripAdvisor etc, and very, very few reviews are particularly insulting, even the really negative ones.

And then in what has been a long piece about punters' reviews, they then quote Amnesty International talking about sex workers' plight. That's in effect associating punters on forums with abuse of sex workers. WTF?

[scutty brown]

It has all the hallmarks of an old report they've held onto unpublished for years pending a quiet news day.
Thats probably why their quotes are from UK dead punting site  and not here

People do journalism degrees hoping to break the next Profumo or Watergate. But they end up writing click bait shit like this.  Twats.

Journalists are like coppers. We do need them, but the trouble is that nearly all of them are shit.

[sigmund]

Most journalism today is a trawl for advertising revenue. The more clicks a story gets the more the rep's can say that they get X numbers of views per day when selling advertising space.

In the days where we paid for newspapers it was less of an option, albeit they all looked for articles on the front page which would increase sales, but today we expect content for free which has to be financed another way.

[hamchang]

^ All journalism in the corporate media is to get advertising money. Nothing more or less these days

Thanks for sharing, but I guess it in't news to us

    "however the negative reviews make for uncomfortable reading and reflect a disregard for the workers’ wellbeing"

Quite.  If anything a negative review can warn punters off pimped girls, and give girls a hint that their customers don't enjoy their service, they clearly don't enjoy providing their service, and this particular industry isn't for them, and they should try something else.  Not leaving negative reviews is unfair on all the great WGs and wastes everyone's time.

The article's using titilation to gain readers, but isn't calling for the scandinavian model (criminalising punters but not WGs) or anything, and generally seems to be taking the girls' side.  Other than failing to see why "forced HIV testing" is a violation as it purports, I have no problem with the article.
