    Just as the company who’s offering the service is motivated by the all consuming need to make money, so to is the journalist strives to make click bait to drive revenue. So the wheel turns.

    This service is creepy as hell though, anything that’s literally a black mirror episode should probably be reconsidered as a product or service.

      The real problem is the target demographic, which is vulnerable and desperate people. Everyone who would use this app logically on some level knows it won’t help them, but that’s just not something that will matter to a person in grief.

        It’s predatory, and even worse, will prevent some people from healing through grief. The future kinda sucks.
