#2A design like that and name + attitude like that is going to get this swept under the rug. Branding does actually mean something even for movements like this.
the idea is okayish, but the execution of this design and domain is childish.

#3I just read the green text in this and looking back at this white page afterwards, I can barely read anything thanks to afterimages... For a few seconds I felt like I was going blind. What is the purpose of them trying to visually assault the people they're purportedly giving advice to?

I don’t see how that’s relevant to the actual content of the page?

#5I have bowed to your pressure. I think becoming temporarily disabled by this color scheme is over exaggerated but hey here’s the new one that should be easier for you to process.

#7I want one answer here: Have you done this? Did they pay you? Otherwise, why are you trying to shop it around here? This is a nice idea, but until there is proof, it belongs on Medium and other platforms as a theory, not a website purporting to have a solution.

Plus neither of those services actually ever deletes your data or stops collecting more. I've never had a Facebook account and yet it knows plenty about me.

Genuine question: how do you know that? Just assuming based on their practices, or do you have an other way to find out?

#10A lot of people in here complaining about the (admittedly clever) name. Seems like the bigger issue is whether you have any chance of them even responding to your license request. What is your chance of winning a legal battle with them if they keep your data and don't pay you?
