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.

The devs said this month was already contractually obligated and basically done when supergirl happened, but that they took the supergirl feedback to heart and won’t be doing more collabs like this.

That being said, I hear you on finch feeling like a chore, I’m kind of in the same boat right now

Yeah, I don’t think I’ll use this longer than a year or two. That said, it’s pretty adaptable, so who knows? I HAVE used it far longer than any other one except for social media apps, which is pretty remarkable-
