Just saw this and wondered, are astrology apps exploiting our insecurities? Astrology apps are raking in millions—some even up to $15 million annually by selling predictions, remedies, and compatibility reports. What was once a personal belief system has become a $2 billion industry, projected to triple in the coming years.. Millions of users paying for personalized readings, promising insight into love, career, and even health with ads so clickbaity that it catches you off-guard. I think that these apps promote dependency on generalized, algorithm-based predictions, making life decisions based on star charts instead of reality. Not to mention, some apps push “remedies” with questionable scientific backing, leading to serious ethical concerns. Are we empowering ourselves, or just getting exploited by an industry that profits from our uncertainties? I don’t think the problem is in the belief system but how it’s attacked upon by tech & other outside influences.

I spoke about this on Facebook and emotionally religious sensitive people abused me and called me anti-Hindu. I was like wtf so deleted the post. I am strongly opposed to all religious apps like this, be it Hindu Muslims preying on human insecurities and unknowns.

Once krishana said - Do your action without any greediness , you will get according to your actions. Everything is depends on action but still people's wants to know their future because that's the basic human psychological behaviour so the main core problem is we need to build a much more convenient way to full fill demands of this customer base by providing logical and factually correct things .

No point of educating people. They will boycott or even kill you if you mess with their sentiments. You too try to make money out of it if you can 😂

These apps are definitely exploiting insecurities by capitalizing on people’s need for reassurance. They prey on vulnerable individuals and profit off generalized predictions that do not offer real value. I mean, who knows for certain what's gonna happen and if they did, they wouldn't be on an app helping people.

If these apps provide comfort and help individuals feel more secure, then they’re doing something positive, even if they make money from it

Already told you, it's a growing market and looks like it would be like that for a long time. Original practices have been lost long back and there are only a few authentic ones. Rest are just pure exploiters

These astrology and related services, may not be good for India's growth for several reasons: 1. Promotion of Superstition. 2 . Financial Exploitation. 3 . Distracting from Real Issues. 4. Mental Health Impact. 5 . Economic Impact.
