An FAQ, and listening that flows on

A new page with fourteen questions that come up often, and my answers: how I lived it, what I know about the people of the phenomenon, what I think about "schizophrenia", about AI, or why I'm legitimate without being a psychiatrist. Each answer can be listened to with my voice, even without an account, has its own shareable link, and counts toward your reading progress. You can find it in the menu and at the bottom of every page.

The subscriptions section is now called "Subscribe", opens on the yearly plan, the cheapest one, and explains where things stand: ThePhenomenon is a bootstrapped startup, and pricing follows what AI providers cost. The text can be listened to too, and on the homepage, the section is replaced by a simple button, which I'm leaning on.

While you're listening to one section, the next one is already getting ready: it starts right away, without the "in preparation" message. And all the listening buttons on the site now animate to stand out, then stop once the section has been read or listened to.

During the call with me, what I say appears at the bottom of the screen, word by word, at the pace of my voice, like karaoke.

The long text of the Ipanema question is collapsed onto its first paragraph, with a "See more" button. And the stories wall at the bottom of the page now shows all the illustrations, with "They just wanted to help me" highlighted.

Moderation was refusing messages that talked about the people of the phenomenon as something real, which is the very topic of the site. That's fixed: it still blocks insults, threats, harassment, and anything that puts someone in danger, but not talking about it anymore. And an emoji pasted from X no longer shows up as a giant image in the middle of a message.
