This is quite an assertion.
You are suggesting that the pool of faithful providers who request deposits (an unknown proportion of all escorts) is harming clients on net by requesting deposits, as they allegedly incentivize bad providers (another proportion of all escorts which is hard to precisely quantify) to request deposits too and run away with the money.
This is like saying all the Italian pizza shops in a NYC should be shut down because some pizza shops are partially fronts for fentanyl-laced drug dealing operations.
Imagine you, a client , live in the upper west side of Manhattan and you want a provider from Brooklyn to come and see you, and you have never met them/they have never met you.
What reason would they have to trust that you wouldn’t cancel on them and lead them to make a wasted 50-minute trip to you  (costs a train fare) and then another wasted 50-minute trip to get back to Brooklyn (nearly 2 hours of time wasted along with transportation money)?
A world where deposits don’t exist is an unrealistic world, because if providers somehow could not ask for deposits, a lot of providers would not bother accepting booking requests. I suspect that some bottoms (who prepare considerably to have sex and may even change their diets for a booking) would simply not want to work if they couldn’t charge a deposit assuring their cleaning efforts, struggles, scheduling, transportation, and fees wouldn’t go to waste because of a flaky client.
It should also not be forgotten that providers themselves are targets of scammers, and deposits help weed those attackers out.

And this should not be forgotten!

I have been surprised by a provider who I assumed was a strict top. His ass is amazing and well, let’s just say I was able to monetarily encourage him to go clean up so I could, as the kids say today, “clap those cheeks”.
 
I never assume providers stated positional preferences are 100% true.

I echo @Delter here. Luke is my favorite top on the east coast at the moment, and I’ve had some amazing threesomes with him and other guys.
I don’t think he does deposits unless you are very far away from him. I host in midtown and he never asked for deposits. You’re probably outside Manhattan or something. Even in that case that you are far from him, he might just ask you to uber or Lyft him to you instead of a deposit.
I remember a time when I had a hotel in Brooklyn and he asked me to either uber him from Manhattan to Brooklyn or pay a deposit, which I paid.
Other than that, I don’t think he does deposits.

A negative review of an individual is different from a recommendation against automatically believing the reviews made on this website.
 

Lmao 🤣

There is a tendency on this site to attack providers who one never intends to hire, fault them for their ads or pictures, and in general making some think twice about even wanting to be mentioned on this site. In other words, some members use the site to gripe, and I submit, to gripe unnecessarily.
I've always thought that the site is intended to be a pro-provider site where we encourage quality and all of the things we hope to in this business.

I will share mine. It gets scatalogical *again* , but thankfully it wasn't as bad as the 2024 incident.
A very sexy provider with a stunning face and a bubble butt was in town, so I made an appointment with him at his place, so I could top him.
I made it to his apartment, and we started foreplay. He then wanted to sit on my face, which I love, so we did that.
Let's just say that, with my tongue still inside of his hole, he shot out leftover douchewater. It was definitely purely accidental, as he was very apologetic about it.

This seems especially odd and silly on the part of the provider- to wreck a mutually beneficial engagement like this is to lose money.
He also may be testing your tolerance of this. Do not go back to him ever.
I of course disagree with the “no deposits ever” recommendation.

“Off by a month? Off with his head!” 

Of course this is true. It would be outrageous to see anyone disputing these intuitive and understandable points. 
This set of assertions is substantively different from the grave claim that “U=U is false”.

“HIV can multiply during a lapse in treatment”- in other words, after a lapse in treatment, they may be *not* undetectable. This does not seem like it is a rebuttal of U=U. 
 
The drug resistance point you mention also seems to suggest that when drugs don’t work, the person wouldn’t truly be undetectable. Again, that is a well known point, and doesn’t counter the idea that being truly undetectable means untransmittable.

Of course this is true. It would be outrageous to see anyone disputing these intuitive and understandable points.

U=U... look at the recent studies... zero seroconversions. Yes, it depends if they are not undetectable any more, you always have to weigh the risks, but too many people on this site blanket stigmatize undetectable as suspect.

I would disagree that he has a bubble butt lol. It''s muscular and OK, but it's not a bubble butt.

There are lots of mixed-race people who look "white," particularly white/Asian or white/Latino. I had assumed my neighbor was white until I met her Chinese mother. She is fairer than this guy. 
He could have tattoos on his back, which we don't see. Also, some guys cover them up for photos like this. 

I think the linked insta might be a sign that the account is really him.

There is another reason to not put a lot of trust in it.
Providers have lots of incentives to try to unfairly destroy their competition's reputation on it, making you think a guy is horrible when he is not.
Providers are the majority of people who subscribe to the service. I've heard how cutthroat LA gets- apparently sometimes providers can falsely smear each other in Mr. Number to hurt their competition.
I subscribed for a month, and saw a couple of things written about one guy, and took the plunge with him anyway. He wasn't disabled nor did he have nerve damage to his mouth preventing him from sucking my dick, as the anonymous report alleged 🤣. He told me that was a rival escort in Weho who wrote it about him on Mr Number.
I have unsubscribed.
