Want to sell stuff to people with ADHD? Look no further! Our amazing privacy invading marketing platform allows you to quickly sell stuff to people with ADHD! You want a userbase that doesn't even use your app after purchase? Imagine the savings on maintenance costs by them losing interest!

Note: We will filter out the people that have recently bought Ritalin.

I sent them a letter asking about it and never saw them again.
