@Dharmesh Ba, this post is very relatable. Recently I was going through a phase and I came across a horoscopic video for rashi and nakshatra... The video predicted that starting from April onwards, certain Rashi people will face struggles, fights at home, etc.. Then my curiosity grew towards astrology. But slowly, I was trying to restrain myself from a few attempts and wanted to consult first with an expert to seek consultation.
Good read! I also read an article in Mint 4-5 months back where they explored this topic in-depth. Forget people; even astrologers are exploited on these apps. Their app ranking is based on how much revenue they generate per user. So they are asked to follow a simple playbook: start with a 2 min free chat offering an immediate solution, then ask the user to pay when they are vested, and then recommend digital anushtan and aarti packages. Amidst all this, actual astrology (for those who believe) is lost.
On top, if you read the fine print of the disclaimer on their websites, you will find something similar to "Information shared on the platform is for entertainment purposes only." What does it mean? They have no legal responsibility for the services they provide?
Also on reddit , there is an explosion in the posts on palmistry. Don't know why apps like astrotalk doesnot offer palmistry based analysis. With good camera's now we can take good images that capture all lines on palms
