This just looks like a crutch to me. If you need someone hovering over your shoulder to hold you accountable to complete work, you're either suffering from depression, or not behaving like a responsible adult.
Someone who is able to complete work without paying someone to tell them to be productive will always find much more success in what they're doing than anyone who finds a service like this valuable.
This is for the same type of person that believes in setting New Years resolutions.
Not bad for a business though, regardless of what I think of people who use it. Very low expenses, good profitability.
People talk like crutches are a bad thing. They're legitimate medical devices! You wouldn't try to walk off a broken leg, and a wheelchair or some crutches will help you get around while the leg is healing, while keeping you active and fit enough that you do actually hopefully heal.
Some people break their get-it-done-femur instead. Why not embrace some crutches if they're effective?

More like the kind of person who knows damn well they're not going to keep those new years resolutions, is sick and tired of it, and wants to try something that might (or might not) be more effective.
I mean, "Someone who is able to complete work without paying someone to tell them to be productive will always find much more success in what they're doing than anyone who finds a service like this valuable" is literally true but useless - sure, being the first is better than being the latter but that doesn't help you to get from A to B or even imply that this can be done.
What if yes, "you're either suffering from depression, or not behaving like a responsible adult" (many people are) - then what? There are people who need literal crutches because they have some problems with their legs, and some of them will need crutches for the rest of their lives. Crutches are useful.
Unless you have flawless discipline, which is exceedingly rare, then you would probably also benefit from someone hovering over your shoulder and holding you accountable.
