  @fishstark @BenSasse Obviously he’s not saying literally candy crush is the problem. But if you ran the experiment where one half outlawed subsidizing arrested development with useless college degrees, fake jobs, birth control, hookup apps it would dominate your half on birth rate

  @BamaDude77 @danorlovsky7 But somehow you didn’t understand how candy crush was the catch all analogy for our addiction to the virtual world leading to the issues he mentioned

  To cite Candy Crush and not lack of proper maternity leave, unaffordable childcare expenses, a broken healthcare system, as the reason young women are deciding not to have babies, is infinitely insulting. @BenSasse

  @Gravantus That means you've been infected by Candy Crush, and have no mental ability to understand or overcome it. This is a real problem. Deal with it.

  5. He played Candy Crush and used some other apps for seeing what's happening in the stock market and YouTube. YT is where I encountered the problem with the feed he was getting. It was filled with the complete AI slop of PM Modi. Any nonsense about Modi it would be there.

  @soupybabee @naheshas but the problem isn’t mobile gaming? nobody ever talks about that and you know it you’re just being dishonest, mobile gaming is an outlier and is only big because phones are a requirement in our lives trying to include candy crush moms into conversation about gaming is insane

  another great Chinese invention after DeepSeek and GLM-5.2: 90-second fake billionaire divorce dramas that somehow make more money than Netflix on mobile sounds stupid until you look at the business model it’s not really “streaming” it’s TikTok + soap opera + mobile game monetization you get a crazy opening: poor girl secretly married the billionaire CEO evil stepmom humiliates her ex-boyfriend appears someone gets slapped then right before the reveal… episode ends next episode costs coins this is the important part: Chinese short dramas are not competing with HBO they’re competing with TikTok, Candy Crush, gambling loops, romance novels, and boredom the user is not thinking: “is this cinema?” they’re thinking: “wait what happens next?” that is a much stronger business than people want to admit the format exploded in China because it solved 3 problems at once: creators could produce much faster than normal film/TV platforms already had short-video traffic web-novel style storytelling already trained users to pay chapter by chapter China basically turned internet novels into vertical video vending machines and the unit economics are brutal traditional streaming: spend huge money make 8 episodes hope people subscribe wait months for feedback short drama: make cheap episodes test the hook immediately kill what doesn’t convert scale what makes people pay it’s closer to mobile gaming than Hollywood and that’s why the App Store rankings look insane you now have these short drama apps ranking above serious billion-dollar streaming platforms not because the shows are better because the loop is sharper Netflix asks for attention short dramas demand resolution big difference the other interesting part: this format is now going global ReelShort, DramaBox, ShortMax, DramaWave, NetShort, etc. same structure, localized tropes: US market: werewolves, mafia romance, secret babies, billionaire husbands China market: revenge, family status, hidden identity, social mobility fantasy SEA/LATAM/India: localized melodrama + mobile-first payment loops this is also why AI video matters Seedance 2.0 and similar models won’t instantly create a perfect 90-minute movie wrong mental model the first real use case is much smaller: generate test scenes make fake trailers localize actors/backgrounds A/B test hooks turn scripts into animatics make ads faster produce low-budget vertical scenes cheaper short drama is one of the first entertainment categories where “AI slop” may actually be economically native because the audience is not paying for prestige they’re paying for: plot velocity emotional payoff identity fantasy cliffhanger resolution so the question is not: “can AI make cinema?” the question is: “can AI make the next 90 seconds addictive enough that someone pays 99 cents?” that is a much easier problem and probably a much bigger market than people think my take: short dramas will not replace Netflix but they will take time and spend from mobile games, romance apps, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and casual entertainment the next big entertainment company may not look like Disney it may look like a game studio running hundreds of tiny soap operas with AI-assisted production and casino-level retention math

  @Hammertimeeeee @pete_scanlon Hi 🐷! Hilarious that a stupid high school educated 🐷 is telling someone to “research” something. 🐷 are the stupidist members of society. Incidently, I don’t have a problem with this. It’s better that a dumb violent 🐷 be playing Candy crush than violating someone’s rights ACAB

  Zohran’s admin has done zilch for my neighborhood. Public services are the same: buses are slow/infrequent, park issues not fixed, trash everywhere, cops play candy crush, poor and homeless people remain unhelped. If you think these PR stunts matter, you are truly a muppet.

  @60Minutes The GOP is great at giving the wrong answer to the right problem. "Candy Crush" lol

  Ben (@GWash509) reported 23 minutes ago

  @WestsideLAGuy Candy crush is just the first thing that his boomer brain could think of, but his broader point about smart phones is likely true. The problem is definitely deeper than raising costs or lack of social programs.

  @soupybabee @KounaraChan It's not a problem for me to say I'm in a female domiant space when i say I play Candy crush, as if I were a woman and I say , I play RPGs which are male dominant space.

  @Roo_VT See, the problem there is that mobile games skew the statistics and candy crush isn't exactly what people are talking about when they talk about video games.

  1. The Start Menu Ad Board Situation: You open the Start Menu to launch your core tools, expecting a clean grid of your installed software. Instead, half your visual field is polluted with "Pinned" apps like TikTok, Instagram, and Candy Crush. You assume these are pre-installed programs taking up valuable disk space, but they are actually just paid corporate advertisements waiting for a misclick to trigger a background download. System: Right-click and unpin every single piece of corporate bloatware immediately. Do not leave a single one. Then, go to Settings > Personalization > Start and aggressively turn off "Show recommendations for tips, shortcuts, new apps, and more". Why it works: You reclaim your visual real estate and cognitive load. The Start Menu goes back to being a pure, functional launcher that obeys your commands, not a digital strip mall designed to steal your attention before you even begin working.

  @kananaskinyeti they also have no problem with the vampire capitalists rigging everything online with casino addiction marketing, all those candy crush games of sparkle and jingle made to psychologically snare them in a dopamine loop to suck money out of them.

  @PersephoneK @SkolRant He’s diminishing the problems people encounter related to child rearing into being addicted to candy crush. That is a pretty fuckerish statement.

  Although I am happy Crash on the Run is coming back, but come on the company could’ve used actual screenshots instead of fake generated AI images (Also Crash > Candy Crush, no question)

  @hot_cocoa_girl The problem with spending money on a dating site is that it isn't clear what you are buying with that money. Like I recognize how it is supposed to get you more attention, but it hits me as a little too "pay to win Candy Crush power up" vibes.

  Tbob (@tbob0022) reported 39 minutes ago

  @thomaslhorrocks Your are missing the point. It’s not literally candy crush. I assume you know that. The lack of emtional attachment and replacement of it with our phones is a real problem that we are ignoring.

  @asha_shar We might be in time line where sony having downfall and xbox returns to it's old self in a way from early 2000s Decision to not close studio quickly i guess was right, the one who should be fired /laidoff are people in charge of those studios and i agree that that xbox should focus on games and studio who are working fully,and are not idle or making sloppy games Time for halo franchise as top xbox game is gone now too, minecraft and candy crush definitely carrying it now 🔥 I do hope halo studios do something productive and make good halo games But having them Activision... They might milk it like callofduty, just hope story and gameplay stay good Future of gaming is grim but not lost yet Sony falling down with their stupid decisions , xbox need to rise up

  @PiereChangstein @TheJFreakinC This issue is, obviously, far too complex for your feeble brain. The legislators that passed the VRA would look upon you as they would a child - wonderous but woefully ill equipped to grasp the gravity of the subject matter, and the moment. Perhaps a round of Candy Crush?

  Jaded Developer (@JadedDeveloper) reported 54 minutes ago

  @vrilliumlive Games like Candy Crush/match3s are time fillers. The real killer for “making babies” is everything around the baby making being broken. From the dating apps, porn addiction, financial issues etc. Not enough text to elaborate more

  @AdsoOfBelk @ByungChulHarden The dopamine/Candy Crush explanation of the problem gives the whole game away here.
