A UK teenager has transformed a personal problem into a billionaire opportunity, according to a newspaper report The Sun. At 19, Alex Slater created the Quittr app, focused on reducing pornography, and has accumulated impressive results.
The program, launched just over a year ago, has exceeded 1 million downloads in over 120 countries and maintains 150,000 active users a day. The initiative generates an estimated monthly revenue of US $ 500,000 (about R $ 2.71 million), with a high profit margin.
QUITTR works by annual signature of £ 29.99 (R $ 190.00) and brings together features such as panic button, which vibrates the phone and activates the camera when the user is at risk of relapse, and gamification with self -control goals, support forums, mindfulness exercises and even blocking pornographic websites. The proposal is to stimulate new digital habits and strengthen personal relationships.
Success quickly transformed the life of the young entrepreneur. He claims to live in a $ 10 million mansion in Miami, as well as planning the purchase of a Lamborghini, valued at approximately £ 250,000 ($ 1.58 million).
For experts, the app surfs in the combination of technology, mental health and new online consumption patterns. The creator himself summarizes the impact: “It’s not just about dropping pornography, but of recovering trust, improving relationships and making room for new opportunities.”
