DSM-5 and ICD-11 are incredibly slow and it takes years and may be decades for them to be able to write to manual on something new like compulsive usage of digital products etc. it's hard to rely on them for newer problems that don't have lots of research done on them.
sorry, I missed YC. Other than YC we haven't taken any external funds. I forgot to add this as technically the funds still haven't hit our account (still paperwork is pending).
we're completely bootstrapped and haven't taken any external funding yet. we aren't sponsored by any church etc. and have no religious affiliation.

our block depends on the device, on android it's dns and showing an overlay on adult contnet. in ios it's through dns/vpn.
regarding social media - that's next on our list! porn was the 1st use case and we plan to help people limit social media and gaming in the coming years.
support groups do help. it's proven to be effective with substance abuse addictions. we are helping people with a support group where users can share and help each other.
