I'm sorry you feel that way. There's tons of positive advice in reply to you, so I'll say follow them. I know I will, I'm in a tough spot myself having graduated and still searching for my first job. The anxiety and restlessness have started to take a deep toll on my feeble mind. Not having a large social media presence doesn't help since I can't share my thoughts with people either. We'll get through this together :)
Treating `depression` or claiming to have cured depression is something a lot of people look forward to. Couple that with the fact that we are all sitting in the midst of an ongoing pandemic, news stories with catchy titles like these are bound to attract extra eyeballs.
Interesting thought. At that point (or for that fact - at this point) it's is essentially a reusable printable paper. For people arguing about the low resolution of the $70~ model, I would not disregard their argument because we haven't seen it in real life and would love to see how documents scale up on that display.
The pricing should also play a significant role in its adoption. Especially if unbundled with other phones. At almost $42 and $70 (for the larger display) we should wait to see which subset of customers could justify it's use-case in daily life.

I'm not here to debate you on anecdotal data (I know 5 people off the top of my head who do use it).

It has a respectable 10,000,000+ installs on the google play store and ranks high on the apple store with 270,000+ reviews. Though not comparable with the likes of WhatsApp (which I personally use and prefer), I would not dismiss it as 'not' a mainstream option. We can agree to disagree for sure.

I think that's a really nice concept, and quite possibly a good time to bring this to our notice whenever most of us are home bound. Do you plan on adding more features in the features?

Drivers, travel agencies, stage lighting companies, industries that mostly depend on people transiting from one place to another. This has got to have a more widespread impact than anticipated since most of us are being actively recommended to stay indoors.
I would add BBC to that list.
