A600kilobear- funny you mention those 2 names, my husband and I have gotten brachas from both. You do have to be really careful because most are fakes. Here’s what I think distinguishes: R’ Abuchatzeira and R’ Pinto never claim that anything will for sure happen/not happen. They give you a bracha, maybe a mitzvah you need to improve on. They also DO know stuff that maybe the average Rav wouldn’t know. R’ Pinto once told me I should donate to a particular cause. It freaked me out because a few years earlier, I had done something wrong, and this cause had something to do with what I had done wrong- I had never said anything about it, but it seems I needed to do tshuva for it, it seems he knew that somehow, and recommended exactly this cause.
