Fortune-telling content business

In the fortune-telling content business, while the fortune-telling app attracted more casual users and showed moderate results in advertising revenue, a decrease in the number of members for membership-based content and the absence of any major hit content resulted in sluggish revenues and a decline in both revenue and profits, with no sales growth comparable to the same period last year
