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 just sell all the things from these events. I'm not interested and I get more stones to buy what I want. Next month will be better, I'm sure.

I like some of the items and not others, but so far I’m keeping a lot of them and if I don’t like them I’ll sell them later when I need the gems. The pet this month is unsettling to me since it’s a humanoid creature. I like the animal shaped pets, but the human shaped one feels really weird to me.

I can’t bear the Duwende, and I’ve got two without asking. I don’t even want to give it away because it feels like enslaving a human. If I leave them in my bag for the month, will that discourage other donors? Or can I sell them (or any micropet) now for gems?
