1. Build toy app in a weekend.
2. See it go viral.
3. Somehow raise money -- because crazy user 'growth' is the new 'eyeballs'.
4. Pay lawyers to take down similar apps -- also created in a weekend.
5. Users get bored and move on to the next thing.
Apps like this are no different to a short-lived meme. This is not value creation.
