How to stop adultwork showing the new mobile picture gallery

The old mobile site would have been perfect - the only thing that used to P me off was there was no way to sort by Escort rating.

This is such a simple 45 second fix (in the SQL query with no client side testing) that I feel that they do this on purpose.

Adultwork Devs really should be reading this \ asking us how to make the site the best it can be.

I suspect the mandate from AW Management is to make as much money as possible. There's no doubt a financial reason for moving everything to the new site.

They definitely read this site, as things in the past on AW changed after being noted on here. For example, someone came up with a hack to see hidden feedback, that lasted for a few days and got changed.

I can't think of what financial motivation they have for stopping us from indexing profiles; suggestions anyone? If there is a financial motivation, then it will happen.

perhaps they have been getting a lot of complaints about UKP and SPs have been threatening to leave?

it has also been noted on here that a lot of new SPs seem to be favouring other platforms such as Kommons/VivaStreet/EuroGirls over AW. If some are also leaving AW to register on these platforms instead that would affect AW's bottom line. they can't directly influence this site, but they can break the indexing which would make it harder to connect reviews to girls, similar to the mess when it comes to reviewing VS escorts.

I feel, with them forcibly directing us onto the new layout when we click on a WG's gallery, it's their way to force us to consume digital content like paid videos. My guess is they're trying to compete with OnlyFans as well.

The new layout seems to be more about an adult digital platform than somewhere one can book an escort.

Yes my thoughts too, as an escort searching and booking platform the new version is awful to use. Also I find it very slow and logs me out constantly 🙄

Quite possibly. Remember that AW stopped escort listings in the USA several years ago for fear of being caught up in the SESTA-FOSTA legislation. Also there's still that incipient movement within the UK parliament to ban VS - and AW are probably worried that they could be caught up in that when it happens. It could well be they are looking to transition to a new business model

That's a very bold /confident statement to come out with, unless of course you are an (undisclosed) escort on here

His statement is very clear: like most of us he uses the site to search for and book escorts.
Nothing to suggest he's an undisclosed escort

i thought the same thing too initially. had to read it through a couple of times, then it made perfect sense.

It would be better if it had a comma after the word platform, then it reduces ambiguity.

Run this in your console

Code: External Link/Members Only

if (typeof galleryRedirect !== "undefined" && galleryRedirect) {
    console.log("gallery redirect to m. site stopped")
    galleryRedirect = false;
}


I put that in a tampermonkey script so it works on every page.

Code: External Link/Members Only

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Disable Gallery Redirect
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      1.1
// @match        *://*.adultwork.com/*
// @match        *://adultwork.com/*
// @run-at       document-start
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
    'use strict';

    const win = window;

    let value = false;

    Object.defineProperty(win, 'galleryRedirect', {
        configurable: true,

        get() {
            return value;
        },

        set(newValue) {
            console.log('[TM] galleryRedirect attempted:', newValue);
            value = false;
        }
    });

    console.log('[TM] galleryRedirect blocker installed');
})();

For those of us with limited IT skills, can you write a simple how to please 🙏
