Is this a paid placement? It seems kinda unusual for the NY to name an app on the home page, and there doesn't seem to be anything unique about Opal vs other blocker apps.

could be. or it could just a situation of picking something and moving on with their day. especially as you say, there doesn’t seem to be anything unique vs many similar apps.

this is exactly the kind of thing i appreciate. where if i’m taking the limited amount of time i have in my day, im choosing to browse through something, i don’t need decision fatigue on something like this. just recommend me the thing that you know works (and is pretty much the same as others that also work) so i can move on with my day.

someone recommending something doesn’t mean it’s somehow the only choice out there, it’s just curation. we could all use less decision fatigue, particularly if it’s one of those things where they’re all so similar to each other.

Yes it is a paid placement and a fictional story
