Curiosity Quench: scroll less

I think this is a great thing but I can’t afford the price. I understand that as a sort of startup you need the money. But understand that this will turn a lot of people away, especially the people who need it most, kids. Again, really like what you’re doing. But lower the price whenever and however you can.

I actually forgot about this app, but I got an email from you “how to stop scrolling” and I read it, it was inspiring, I was also doing a bad dopamine detox so I removed all social media and games, I also know that I should use willpower instead of removing but for now I don’t think I can control it. Doom scrolling is supper bad but you can learn stuff while scrolling but this apps won’t let you scroll random brain rot stuff and you can actually focus on what you like, social media can give you inspiration but I over use it. social media can be good because that’s how I found this app, I feel like since I also create content is better for me to put more time on what I enjoy doing instead of wastefully using social media without a purpose. If you can control and use it well for a purpose social media is great because you can learn from each other and that’s how human grows.

We all know that doom scrolling isn’t good for us. But one of the beautiful, exciting things about social media is that it provides endless opportunities to learn new things, for free. To be frank, no one in their right mind would pay for this in 2024. Not because it’s a bad app! But because there’s no real specialization. The creator has advertised this as some mission-driven alternative to social media, but social media has never hit us with a $30 paywall (that’s how much it is for lifetime.) Ads alone would probably be enough to make this not worth it for me, but having skills as basic as knowing the periodic table of elements considered “premium” is just adding insult to injury. Hopefully this creator will take his app development skills somewhere with a little more business sense.
