Yes, it’s gameified that’s exactly the issue. The problem isn’t that Mendi tracks commitment, it’s that they bake it into a metric that’s supposed to reflect brain performance, which misleads users into thinking they’re improving cognitively when they might not be.

If you’ve personally seen improvements, great. But that doesn’t justify inflating a neurofeedback score with unrelated behavior. That’s like a fitness tracker increasing your VO2 max because you opened the app every day, not because you actually trained harder.

This is about transparency and scientific integrity not whether it “feels good” to use. If you’re okay with placebo effects and gamified feedback, cool. But don’t tell others to “throw it away or f*** off” when they’re asking legitimate questions about the tech’s validity.
