Sike! It now only costs £8 per month! I guess our employees don’t need to be paid after all ☺️
Maybe you think this is all so they can make the app available to people with a lower income. Then why do they need to pressure you with yet another scare timer?? (This time you only get 10 minutes!)

Maybe at this point you are reasonably thinking “I can’t afford a £16 per month subscription”, so you scrape together enough dopamine to resist the scare timer creating a false sense of urgency in your ADHD brain (good job!), and you try to close out of the request for payment…

If you click through, you are told that the subscription will renew at £32 every two months. I’m no mathematician, but if it costs them £15 per fortnight to pay their employees, and I only pay them £16 per month, does that mean their workers go hungry two weeks out of every month?

When you answer all the questions (which are really just a thinly veiled list of reasons your life will be “better” after using their app), you are guilt-tripped into paying almost £15 for a two week “trial” (wtf) which supposedly is the minimum they need to pay their employees. (3/7)

When you click through to do the quiz, the very first question you are asked is “do you have ADHD?”
Armed with this information, they then inundate their victims with dark pattern after dark pattern (they’re a behavioural science company, so that tracks)… (2/7)

There’s this app called ‘The Fabulous’ that specifically targets people with #ADHD and tries to trick them into a paid subscription. They aren’t the only ones doing this, but they are the most predatory that I’ve seen
The IG ad I was served makes it seem like they are running a clinical trial (1/7)

Can’t help but wonder what the point of this “security verification” was
