BetterHelp has been around for a while now, and I'd be curious if it's actually helping with long-term mental health outcomes, on an individual and population level.
I mean, their advertising campaigns are massive. They advertise on literally every podcast, and now NPR. They advertise even more than Squarespace, and even more than [insert latest mattress company].
