Normally I avoid sites like Noom for life, even after they get rid of the surveys.

This has some kind of neurolinguistic programming/hypnotism feel where someone is trying to nonconsensually take your money. It's like a salesman asking you if you have problems, and they're always trying to reinforce in your mind that you have problems that go away once you give them the money.

It just feels really creepy and dirty.

With CBT, the user putting a lot of trust in the app and this feels like a violation of the trust before anything starts.
