--- Quote from: Miss Philosopher on November 24, 2018, 08:09:33 PM ---I had a reading with this person many years ago. Completely opposite happened. I'd say the majority of "readers" on keen are frauds. As someone else stated previously, they have no screening so anyone can sign up and become a "reader" there. Most of them are just advice givers and utilize psychology, statistics, personal experiences, and "best guesses". Only one reader was legit off that site whom I still talk to currently and have been for years. Other than that, I wouldn't even bother.

I agree, I hate Keen so much. I've had much better luck on purple ocean or bitwine even though they are kind of lesser known sites... Keen just struck me as money hungry and the readers on there (not all, of course) just were so inaccurate for me.

--- Quote from: star1 on November 24, 2018, 08:46:17 PM ---I've noticed that readers who tell people bad news seem to get a kick out of it, also. I'm on about the continuously negative readers who are doom and gloom for everyone. They boast about how "honest" they are as a reader for giving people bad news, when they tell virtually every customer the same ending. Doesn't make you a great reader for giving everyone bad news, it makes you very narcissistic. They think they're doing people good, when really ist to boost their reputation so that people say "well at least that reader's honest".. It's a false honesty.

I totally agree with this. Giving bad news is just as scripted as fairytale readings. Maybe even more so.

Yeah exactly because if you look at the board, people often go "Well so and so reader sugarcoated, so I won't go to them again. But so and so reader was negative and at least honest, so I'd use them again". The reader is having the last laugh.

Ugh, I know. I used to think the same thing...at least they were honest with me.
If they were honest, most readers would just say, sorry I can't see the future. Lol

I think the psychology of this is people feel like -- if someone gave someone else a negative reading, or tends to give negative readings, but YOU get a positive reading, people somehow trust that more. As if that means this person isn't blowing smoke up your butt, and on top of it, that you're maybe special, the one to defy the odds. Which of course is exactly what people want to think about their situations.

Yeah a few readers spring to mind for me there, lol :-X But they feel all excited because the reader who's usually negative told them good news so they feel all lucky.
