Nah, I quite appreciated it. It amuses me quite a bit how bizarrely specialized a lot of trash software are, which mobile platforms tend to heighten. From blatantly fraudulent ads that depict bogus gameplay, to Dr. Phil shilling Solitaire Grand Harvest on his show, the plain tawdriness of the trash app game ecosystem is fascinating. And who even wants to play slots on their phone anyway?
- BbzzbB 5y agoThose Dr. Phil 4 minute sponsors for Solitaire Grand Harvest kill me just thinking of it with those "live demos". I find it absolutely hilarious, yet simultaneously depressing to think how many people watching him will fall into a trap like and proceed to burn their money on - which is assuredly an unfathomable amount given his show's size and the duration of the ads. I also have no clue why those apps work (aside from the vague notion it triggers our lizard brains to gamble even with fake money), but I'd sure recommend you listening to the linked talk if the subject entertains you, I had found it really interesting and the speaker is a great story teller (IMO anyway).
