Are Lurkers valuable ... if you're a Provider ... Yes, they make appointments.
Are they valuable to me as a board member ... No, not at all.

Without the sustenance from lurkers (i.e. non-reviewers)... Providers would only be supported by reviewers.
(I think I read somewhere someone estimated 10% of clients do reviews? I will concur.)
If only reviewers brought in income, many providers would starve & quit. There wouldn't be any providers to review, except the few & far between...
It is very much a symbiotic relationship.
Reviewers see the same ladies whose incomes predominantly come from the lurkers that sustain them in this "ecosystem."
Lurkers have their value to both providers and reviewers, I would say.
