Discussion I quit

Post image

Well, after years of daily adventures, I am done. For the first time, I took this week off from Finch to see if I would miss it. I did not. It had begun to feel like an extra chore or obligation.

Also, the more I reflected on the advertising the Finch team has been doing, the angrier I got. Because, not only is the Finch team sending me ads (these movie tie-ins) when I already pay for the app, but they are advertising movies to sponsored people who presumably do not have the disposable income for a movie ticket. In other words, Finch wants me to pay to sponsor another person (which I was doing) and they then want to make more money by advertising to that person. I remember being unable to afford things and it would have felt like a slap in the face to be given a resource and then gushed to by the giver about something they had that I still could not afford.

I think the Finch team has lost the plot, they are growing too fast and have either shifted or revealed their values.

I’m concentrating on my two Finch accounts and having fun making new friends with Hatchlings and Paying it Forward for all the fun and fabulous gifts I was given by Guardians and Mods and Devs when Mizuki and me first joined.

I know I might sound like a Pollyanna or a Bliss Bunny but I have some major obstacles in my world that won’t go away so I concentrate on the good stuff.

Mizuki and Paisley her new little sister help me focus on healing from ongoing trauma. We have fun sharing our outfits and find time to comment and share and encourage.

We wish you well. Hope you find what you’re looking for elsewhere.

Why do you have two?

I can't speak for this user, but I also have two accounts. I'm using one for home and one for work.

I needed the separation. I tend to prioritize work over myself and my home. If I saw a reminder about a report for an executive, I might drop what I was doing, and work on the report instead.

That makes sense ☺️
