> Dot remembers Mei’s interest in singing and proactively sends her suggestions for music clubs at school.

Imagine having so little agency and motivation within your own existence on this earth that you need an app to remind of what you once found life—affirming.



That's not what that says though, it's not reminding them of loving singing, it's finding clubs. It's a proactive search.

It'd be like a friend saying "oh hey I know you like singing, I spotted these clubs you might like".


These clubs = those who paid the most for ads


If this app took off then I'm sure this would be the eventual reality.


It’s the reality currently because your friend’s recommendations are strongly based on what they have been exposed to via Google too — that is, ads.


I don't have to imagine, I have ADHD and depression, and I can't wait to get this app.


It will not be the magic bullet (or pill) you're looking for


Yeah, imagine how they feel.
