Social networks have profoundly changed the world of clairvoyance. In just a few years, in-office consultations have given way more and more to live videos, daily publications and widely distributed predictions. This development is not a problem in itself. What is more so are the abuses it encourages.
It would be unfair to put all practitioners in the same basket. Many carry out their activity with seriousness, discretion and respect for their consultants. But part of the community today seems more concerned about its visibility than the quality of its support.
You only need to browse a few accounts to see the phenomenon. The same announcements recur every day, almost word for word. “A meeting is coming up. » “A cash flow is imminent. » “Someone is thinking about you. » Predictions vague enough to speak to everyone, repeated enough to end up seeming credible by being heard.
All day long, some broadcast the same messages with disconcerting confidence. The live streams keep coming, the videos are multiplying, the publications are similar. We end up having the feeling of witnessing a well-oiled mechanism where the algorithm sometimes seems more important than intuition.
Added to this repetition is another phenomenon: permanent staging. Some practitioners cultivate their image with care worthy of influencers. They are omnipresent, seek media exposure and sometimes give the feeling that notoriety has become an end in itself.
However, appearing every day on social networks, or even on television, does not automatically make a person a reference. Visibility creates popularity. It constitutes neither proof of competence nor a guarantee of seriousness. Through exposure, some people end up convincing themselves that they have become stars, forgetting that fame is often built on the repetition of the image much more than on the value of the content.
What is equally questionable is the lack of perspective on the part of part of the public. Predictions are rarely questioned. The comments relay the certainties, the criticisms are few and the contradiction sometimes seems poorly accepted. In this world where everything moves very quickly, critical thinking struggles to find its place.
Clairvoyance, whatever one’s opinion of it, is based above all on a relationship of trust. This trust imposes responsibility. When speaking daily to people looking for answers, comfort or hope, caution should always trump the announcement effect.
Social networks have offered psychics a wonderful showcase. They have also created an environment where image, frequency of publications and the search for visibility can sometimes take precedence over measurement and credibility.
Digital success should never be confused with competence. Being followed by thousands of people is not proof of talent. Being omnipresent is not a certificate of seriousness. And in a world where anyone can become famous in just a few clicks, it is more necessary than ever to distinguish popularity from true credibility.
