Thank you, that's sweet. However, I didn't install it, nor did it scare me.
I was pointed to it by someone, and didn't need it as I already have an alarm on my phone, but read the small text anyway out of curiosity. I actually thought it was quite funny. Although I agree with you it's funny in a harrowing way, just as capitalism almost always is.
The app is recommended by some therapists. I think those therapists may be in need of some therapy themselves.
Also I REALLY recommend everyone to read the Terms Of Service (especially about privacy & costs) before installing ANY app. It's quite unbelievable what people will install without checking, and what commercial app stores (Google, Apple) will allow.
"Although I agree with you it's funny in a harrowing way, just as capitalism almost always is."
I wish I found it surprising that you apparently feel the need or impulse to express agreement with me on a position I never took.
"You said harrowing, I agree."
Me using a single word does not mean I'm agreeing with any phrase you decide to insert that word into.
"What's wrong with that, and why do you seem to be insulted now? I'm thanking you?"
I'm hardly insulted. I'm just pointing out that your commentary is flawed.

A deserted fun park where we stayed for many days - videos.trom.tf/w/xyEUcN6iuYSdJ…
Isla del Zujar is probably a popular place in the summer, but off season it is totally deserted. And no phone service at all. But we had plenty of solar power and satellite internet so we could stay for many days there. It was very relaxing, quiet, dark, and some hiking places near by. So nice!
