I started a free trial and cancelled it immediately to have no ads while on holiday. Didn’t realize they are offering some illusion of achievements as a “reward” for your attention, doubling as a FOMO weapon for when you want to quit.

First paragraph is news to me genuinely :0 I thought that was obvious I guess
Without knowing more about the virtual shinies I guess I can’t give a full opinion, so fair. In my head I was comparing them to the “subscriber for 18 months” badges YT and Twitch give you, which aren’t all that destructive.
I’ve only used it for three weeks and I have “earned” 19 different “badges” in 9 different categories, if you want an idea.
yeah that’s… interesting
maybe not dystopic still but idk how thats even getting any ROI lol
