Some Myth Busting from a Keen Advisor

For want of a better analogy, it's like gambling. Some cities have one casino. Sure a smaller percentage of people will get addicted and go there often, but most will only attend occasionally for a bit of "fun" say once a month or so, or on a special occasion.
However, other countries and cities have casinos on every street corner - as a consequence far more become addicted - it's too easily available.
I think that's my point re Keen and others..

Yes gambling is a perfect analogy. If you walk through a casino and are even a little bit intuitive or empathic, you can tell who the compulsive gamblers are, who has a problem, who cannot afford to spend the money they are playing with. It's the same with clients. And this message board is analogous to a gambler's message board. Those who take a trip to Vegas once a year or drive to the local reservation one Sunday a month are not on the gambling message boards because why would they be? They have a healthy relationship with gambling so don't put a lot of energy into seeking out advice or support on the subject.

I tend to think psychic readings are a bit different than gambling though (although I agree with Kate's analogy)...I mean you gamble, either you win or you lose, what is there going to be a forum about what slot machines pay out? LOL..but with readings, it's like pot luck trying to find a reader who actually works and is authentic and gets things right for you...so people seek out opinions. Same as yelp for stores and what not. Just because you are reading a Yelp review about a store doesn't make you a compulsive shopper...

How else are clients supposed to seperate the wheat from the chaffe besides having review boards about these readers? Even if some here are addicts, the purpose of this board is still the same and on the up and up---to review readers. Let us face it, very few leave objective reviews on Keen, especially with a 2 week window to post them. Critical reviews are often taken down lately. California Psychics dosent even allow any negative reviews at all. Every reader is wonderful over there, supposedly. There are simply too many bad readers out there, whether you think the majority of
us are addicts or not. And there is no accountability in this profession--most of you don't even post your real names.
I'm not even blaming Keen or any other platform, because its just a platform. But the vast majority of you are questionable. This has been proven over time on this board. You yourself may not
be suspect, and its great to speak for yourself. But this board exists for very good reason.

I don't believe this because if you look at some of the reviews on some of the higher costing readers on Keen, reviews are left constantly by the same person, multiple times. How are they not addicted if they are leaving so many reviews. Are we to believe it's because they are helping the reader to raise their rating score by leaving five stars all the time?
Some of the things you say are just questionable considering you work for Keen, but you aren't an analyst. You don't know the backgrounds of the majority of callers anymore than we do.
You're guessing based only on your worldview of clients that call you.

I agree with this. And even if you are a compulsive shopper, you can still leave reviews on all the swag you've bought. Dosent discredit your review any less.
