What I haven't seen posted here is this:

- the prospect of large corporations making thousand percent ROI is very real, while the common person using this does not get any of that.

My opinion of this is that we should be concerned - what are the possible upsides of corporations having outsized returns that can't be touched by governments at all (at least with current day laws)

This would only serve to make the wealth gap more extreme.

I urge everyone to read more here: https://www.coindesk.com/billion-dollar-returns-the-upside-o...

Wow thank you so much for the detailed response!

I've taken this comment back to my team and we're discussing our next moves now - I think the easiest and most immediate thing we can do is removing the scroll effect on the third screen to the homepage - hopefully that reduces some frustration for you (and i'm sure many others have felt).

Thank you for the kind words! Definitely trying to make an impact in the space :)

i'm sure that can be arranged :)

great analogy! It's not about all or nothing but frequency :)

the app may work for you still, if you find grayscale is taking away your ability to take the photos you want - the whitelisting feature would turn it off when you're in your camera (without menu hopping)

Website creator here, thanks for the comment! I do recognize the hate for scroll jacking, however it was the only way for me to set up the website with that effect, do you know of another way? I'd love to make a change (i'll be honest, i didnt know scrolljacking was something that was so despised)

Looking forward to your comment!

The main point of this is definitely to start a "movement"

It's not about me or the app, it's just something that had a profound impact on my life and i'm trying to share that with everyone that might be struggling with this - that's why we include instructions to turn your phone gray natively. The app adds features that have kept some people from going gray even though they really want to (need phone for work and it's too much of a hassle to go menu hopping / navigation apps arent the best in grayscale etc).

Oh that's cool! going to add that to the iphone part of the website!

It's not the full solution but it's definitely part of it. Colour on my phone overwhelms me now (i've been gray since June)

took the words right from my mouth haha (or should i say a reader) :P https://blog.gogray.today/content/posts/calm.html

yeah! we include the instructions on the website to go gray natively :). The app will have the features listed on the page.
atareh··on Going gray for smartphone addiction
you're right!

i give instructions for going gray on phones on the website, the app we're developing is desgined to make grayscale easier (whitelisting certain apps that is useful in colour, like google maps, etc).

thought this was timely to post due to the recent article in NYTimes about going grayscale for phone addiction
