Thanks! For some, it's the only method that works (myself included).
> How are you guys making money? I see you have a single-person tier for $3 an hour? Even so, that's crazy.
Update: First of all, users are _not_ our product. Our only source of revenue is subscriptions to our service.
Each user has a dedicated Productivity Partner, and they connect with them in a 1-on-1 video call. 90% of the time, Productivity Partners do not interact with users; they just ensure the user is present and (optionally) monitor their screen to make sure they're not scrolling through Reddit. This allows each Productivity Partner to work with multiple users simultaneously.
By the way, screen sharing isn't as scary as it seems. We lower the resolution and bitrate on the user's side to such low levels that we're not able to read any text or even distinguish images. However, it's enough for us to see when the user is on Facebook, YouTube, Reddit, etc.
Edit: more context in quoted message.
Edit #2: clarification that you're not our product
