Product placement

(a) Gizmo: The creator explicitly names it as a tool for "active recall" and shows the interface on a tablet screen, which is then operated to demonstrate the study method. This is the central recommendation of the video. Removing it would remove the specific tool being recommended for the study hack. (b) None.
