because nobody cares what their taxi driver looks like. sex workers are not generic and the customers do not want generic services. there needs to be some degree of personality, negotiation, and so on. this requires profiles and custom ads. sites that provide these tools already exist, and they're frequently subject to things like this: you'd be a fool to try and make this happen in a walled garden like an app store, much less put your signature on an investment deal. there's no "silk road" style venue for prostitution because sex work is inherently personal. you can't fellate someone over the internet, yet. things that can be done over the internet, like cam shows, are mostly legal and already have aboveboard venues like Chaturbate.
