Because they limit the amount of historical comments which will include negative comments, I'm seeing a lot of crappy readers with 5.0 ratings. It's because they changed how far back the history of the ratings go. They made the history a lot shorter I believe. What I do is, look for patterns of user comments. Is it the same 10 users leaving the great feedback for a year or are they getting raving reviews from lots of different people? The next thing I look for is how long they have been an advisor and how many readings they've given verses how much feedback they have. For example: If someone's been a reader since 2001 and only given like 20,000 readings and then only have like 5.000 reviews with positive feedback...........chances are they are crap because the ratio to reviews compared to how many readings they've given is a very small amount.
Keep in mind, a lot of people will leave great reviews because they've been sold their fairytale dreams. So the last thing I look for is, how many comments are talking about predictions that have come to pass verses how many are saying "Oh she's so sweet and accurate at how he/she feels"..............all kinds of stuff to look for.
Me? I only use 2 people every month and that is Aries Intuition and Psychic Shelly (albeit Shelly I talk to several times a month cause I love getting her markers lol).
I guess the key is just finding a couple that really work for you and have proven their accuracy with things coming to pass.
