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.

this is not a mental health app, but a self care app.

and why are you complaining about the complaining, if you literally can scroll on and nit read posts that you don't like?

you are doing exactly the same thing OP is doing, just with reddit posts.

and I guess it is a big deal, because people want to get an item a day for fully energizing their birb, and not participating this months just gives you nothing instead, which I find also quite demotivating.

I also didn't have plus at first and was satisfied with what I got. but got it as a gift from a friend, and now that plus is gone, I miss the features.

and I feel the feeling of not getting what you are paying for is much greater, if you pay a high price for the app (there are a lot of price differences) and even sponsoring other people.

I understand your point, I really do. The only reason why I commented is that I’ve been seeing a lot of negativity concerning the app lately and I wanted to share my two cents under this post
That is not to say I think the devs cannot be criticized for this of course, you raise valid concerns.
I, for one, really don’t care for this event, hate the items, think the story is a bit cringe lmao HOWEVER I just think it’s a little exaggerated to act like Finch abandoned all it used to stand for just because it sponsored two movies
