The essence of network fortune telling

Internet fortune telling is simple and clear. Nothing more than fortune telling+internet. What has changed is the carrier and form, but what remains unchanged is the routines and tricks of the Mongolian people. In fact, this is exactly the same as those routines that lie and tell fortune.

In fact, this sentence can be put on anyone. For example, "you pray to be loved by others, but you find fault with yourself." Sometimes you are outgoing, friendly and full of society, but sometimes you are introverted, cautious and silent. " In fact, these are just nonsense.

The second routine is "survivor bias", that is, with the help of several correct cases, it is widely spread and attracts passers-by.
