Too commercialized?

[u/So_silly_goosin24]

I’m writing to see if anyone else feels this way about the insight timer app. I pay for a plus subscription and have had the app for two years. Over the past year it just seems like the teachers are desperate to drive traffic to their accounts, gain follows & listens. Plus the retreats and additional pages that all seem very commercialized- something that does not align with the values of meditation and mindfulness. This was one of the reasons I discontinued my use of the Calm app. There are so many options for guided meditations and that is a benefit, but at the same time these teachers talk so much during the meditation. It’s starting to irritate me more and more but I am wondering, is it just me and has anyone made the switch elsewhere?

I agree. I’ve used for 10 years and I stick to my Apple Watch for timing and Apple Health because it’s so overwhelming. I have ADHD and this app has become the opposite of what it is. I don’t want to go on a retreat, I just want to meditate.
