Think of it like going to the gym, for the brain.

And as a disclaimer, I do not own, have any stock, investment or interest in Lumosity. I do perhaps have interest in improving my brain skills just like others are interesting in working out their bodies.

If you were not already aware websites make money the same way radio and TV companies do. They sell "adspace". So while you may not be the one paying they still generate revenue off you.

I guess something with the way it is marketed unsettles me a little bit. It just seems condescending somehow. Not trying to bash it or anything it just rubs me the wrong way.

I am fully aware of "adspace", Adsense, and all the internet revenue generating venues out there.

Condescending? OK

I don't see this site that way. I don't see it as a "scam" nor "condescending", but I appreciate your insight.

We just have a difference of opinion. It rubs you the wrong way, fair enough.
