Talk:BetterHelp

Length

The article is well over 1000 words and of adequate length.

Structure

The article starts with a quick yet insightful opener that provides enough context for the reader to understand what type of service BetterHelp is. The writer decided to separate background information from the opener, but I would personally combine the two as the background provides a glimpse of the underlying issue that would fit better in the opener. The opener/background also includes relevant sources. The body of the article is well structured, with sections dedicated to explaining the process of how BetterHelp works and goes into detail how a potential user would sign up and use BetterHelp. The ethics section is well defined and provides multiple perspectives on how BetterHelp has experienced controversy lately. Each perspective is backed by reliable sources. I would suggest combining the advertising section under the ethics as that information is relevant to the ethics discussion. Having separate sections forced me to reread that section to refresh my memory. Overall the article has great structure.

Clarity

What is HIPAA? Any abbreviations or acronyms should be expanded. Overall the BetterHelps’s history and ethical issues are made clear and that the exploitation of people’s mental health as a marketable product should resonate with many readers.

Objective Reporting

The article is written in an objective manner that does not state personal opinions. Multiple examples and perspectives on the ethical issues regarding BetterHelp are stated. It would be beneficial to add any official statements released by BetterHelp to get a better understanding of how they are handling this ethical controversy.
