Maybe some of the companies marketing it, of course there are people looking to exploit it just like in nearly every other industry. But the concept itself isn’t some ADHD specific thing, it’s just using technology to exploit a quirk in human psychology, and there are free options available. I’m in a discord server that has hundreds of people spread across various video call rooms at any moment. I haven’t used it enough to say how effective it is, but I definitely wouldn’t call that exploitative. If it works it works, if it doesn’t don’t use it.
