I think the thought is good.

Very few of us value thing or advices we get for free..why...because they are free, and easy to attain again, so no need to do any serious thinking.

If you on the other hand pay "hard cash or labor" to obtain the information, you will value it more, because it has cost you something, and we all like to benefit from our expenses.

The whole clue is to put the brain in motion, in order for the seeker to do something that trick the brain into evaluation.

And I agree, serious Reading/astrology Reading are time consuming, and should have been valued much more, by those who get it for free here, and understood even if it cost 2-300 US$ if you go to a private Astrologer/Reader of some quality.

A detailed astrological reading can take from 8 to 15 hours of labour; which is again not possible in one go due to concentration factor.

So it is like 2-3 hours concentration. That is 15 divided by 2.5=6 sittings. Call it 6 days to (half) 3 days of work.

Wonder what is the per hour wage in countries like, Britain, U.S.A etc?

It is only when one is properly conversant with the so many aspects of Jyotish like, divisional charts, various dasas etc. that a well contained reading is possible. To arrive at a result after using all these pointers and variables is not like going to a psychic, and getting reading within 10-30 minutes for maybe 10 dollars!
