I am like some others here - I have tempered my readings down altogether, only getting them about bimonthly at present. I ONLY read on PS though. But I agree that I've noticed the quality of PS in the last 1-2 years really TANK.
I am solidly an
Anthony girl. He's consistent with his prediction and has been since I first started reading with him three years ago. I'm confident it will eventually come to pass, even though it has exceeded the time frame he originally predicted.
I used to read with Sammie but no longer. I dumped her in April after she stumbled around in the dark during a 4-minute reading.
In 2017 when I first read with her, she was crystal-clear and really knocked my socks off. Most of what she told me in her 2017 predictions happened, and pretty close to the timeframe she predicted!
But in 2018-2019-2020, her quality started to crumble - asking me to repeat my question, eating up valuable minutes of my time. And her accuracy tanked, too.
For $8.75/minute, a caller should expect the advisor to be writing details down and getting it right the first time s/he listens. And if s/he slips, promptly apologize, be humble about it. Sammie has thrown it back at me like I am the problem, in a very subtle way. I'm sorry Sammie that attitude just isn't going to fly with me, or anyone else.
I have heard in the past that PS pays out 40 cents a minute to their advisors, no matter what the "sticker price" is that they set.. I have noticed Sammie is on 40+ hrs/week where a lot like Anthony are more part-time. A year ago, Anthony wrote an article saying he was in his 60's, maybe he's retired and does this on the side so he's not dependent on it for living like Sammie might be.
If PS expects their advisors to MAINTAIN top quality they need to pay them more appropriately and not take such a huge cut! My two cents.
