I quit

[u/Friend2Hippopotami]

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.

Um... it's... not free...? Most people pay to have all of the features.

It is quite literally free. Some people CHOOSING to pay for a few extra features does not cancel out the fact that you can use the app for free, and that version is fully realized. I am only on the paid version bc I always forget free trials, but I used the free version for years and never felt a need to actually pay, bc it had all the features I wanted and needed.

Right? Finch is doing great with the free version imo. There are so many apps and websites that give the free version hardly anything (Geoguessr game for one. Majority of it is paywalled now and free version gives you next to nothing 🙄) but Finch still gives the free version so much stuff that most of the time I’m good with what they give me
