Kindle Users for Digital Ownership Experience Interviews

Looking to interview Kindle users about digital ownership Hi! I am an independent journalist working on an interview-led piece about why some Kindle users choose to modify their devices. The focus is on ownership, access, and long-term use rather than technical details. I am not looking for instructions, tools, or how-to guides. I am interested in personal experiences and motivations, including views on privacy, ownership, and long-term access, rather than methods. Interviews can be anonymous and done via text or email if preferred. If you are open to chatting, feel free to comment here or send me a direct message. Thank you!

Cash Advance App Users on Revoking ACH Access for MarketWatch

Reporter seeking stories: Has revoking ACH access on cash advance apps helped you get your finances back on track? Hi everyone, I’m Genna Contino, a reporter with MarketWatch. I’ve been following the discussions here regarding revoking ACH authorization — a right that the CFPB has explicitly highlighted as a tool for consumers to stop automatic bank debits. I’m working on a story about the real-world impact of this process. For some, it seems like a way to finally stop the reborrowing cycle and regain control over their own paychecks when things get overwhelming. I’m looking to talk to people who have successfully (or even unsuccessfully) revoked ACH access with apps like Brigit, EarnIn, or others. I’d love to hear your perspective on: How the ability to pause these debits helped during a tough month. How the apps responded to your request (especially in light of recent terms-of-service changes at Dave). Whether having that breathing room helped you move away from using these apps entirely. Note on Privacy: To include your experience in the story, I would need to speak with you and use your first and last name. I know this is a sensitive topic, but I want to ensure I’m accurately representing the real-world experiences of users rather than just looking at the apps' legal terms. Your perspective helps clarify how these features are functioning in practice for everyday people. If you’re open to sharing your experience, please DM me or email me at [email redacted]. You can see some of my published work here and I'm happy to answer any questions before you agree to an interview. (P.S. - I apologize for the odd username. I never changed the one Reddit initially gave me and now I'm stuck with it :')
