Uneven exchanges

A few days ago I was giving free readings in exchange for a review to add to my website. It was frustrating because I either dealt with people who never responded to my reading with a review, or I’d type my heart out to give a detailed reading and their review would be “Thanks, great reading” or something low-effort along those lines. There was even someone who said they’d write a review who kept pretending they didn’t see my messages to prompt them to write one. They only answered once I told them that they were breaking the rules of the subreddit. How can I possibly offer my services that are clearly in demand to people who don’t think it’s even worth a review? I end up giving all my energy and receiving nothing in exchange.

And for those of you who stalk this subreddit constantly hoping for free readings, why do you feel that someone’s time and effort is worth less than your curiosity/wants?
