  @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.

  An anon post rexosted by BAP and other anons just got taken down for “violating the rules” when it was calling Ben Sasse totally out of touch for saying “candy crush is the problem” ending with “kill yourself” It wasn’t even his account, it was a 60 minutes clip, we can’t even use edgy quips to express frustration anymore New regime same as old regime (except the new ones rules are arbitrary)

  @LilFayotLani @DeathKi76976489 @khaliltooshort funnily enough when it doesn't suit your goal Ai is suddenly not a valid source but you sure af had no issue citing the candy crush ratio earlier, which is also from the AI :)) btw, because I also looked it up reality denying clown

  Meta charges you up to 4x more per impression on Audience Network placements that convert at near-zero And the toggle to turn them off is buried 3 menus deep in ad set settings When you launch a Meta ad it runs on 4 placements by default: Facebook Feed, Instagram Feed, Stories/Reels, and Audience Network. You probably know about the first 3. The 4th is where Meta sends your ad to random apps and websites to fill cheap inventory Audience Network CPMs are cheap. $1-3. That looks good in your dashboard. The problem: conversion rates on Audience Network are near-zero for ecom because the "viewer" is playing a mobile game and your ad is a banner they accidentally tapped trying to close it. The click was accidental. She didn't want your product. She wanted to get back to Candy Crush Your ad dashboard shows a blended CPM across all placements. The $6 CPM you see is actually $14 on Facebook Feed (where people buy) and $2 on Audience Network (where nobody buys). Meta blends them to make the number look good. Your real cost to reach a buyer is $14. You think it's $6 The fix: - go to ad set level - click "Placements" - switch from "Advantage+ Placements" to "Manual Placements" - uncheck "Audience Network" entirely - while you're there uncheck "Messenger" too (same problem, different placement) Your CPM will "increase" on the dashboard because you removed the cheap garbage placements. Your cost per PURCHASE will decrease because every impression now goes to a placement where people actually buy things One operator turned off Audience Network and Messenger. Dashboard CPM went from $8 to $13. Cost per purchase went from $22 to $14. He was paying $22 per customer while Meta showed him an $8 CPM that included thousands of accidental taps from people playing mobile games Meta defaults to all placements because Meta gets paid per impression regardless of whether it converts. The more placements your ad runs on the more impressions Meta sells. Their incentive is volume. Your incentive is conversions. These are different goals. The default setting serves their goal not yours 3 clicks deep in your ad settings. 2 minutes. Your cost per purchase drops and your dashboard finally shows real numbers instead of blended fiction

  Low TFR is a problem, but Candy crush is red herring here. Real problem is expensive housing. Need real incentives like 33% off taxes for every child under 18

  @Sir_Dammed The big issue is how the demographics of games like Candy Crush is used to torture statistics and give companies misleading data. There is no amount of gay race feminism that will get Candy Crush moms to play Call of Duty.

  This is such a non-issue, but I was playing candy crush the other day. I was in a challenge that I was very close to winning, and I had a timed booster, I'll lose both if I lose a level. Wasted all my hard-earned gold bars on extra moves on this stupid level

  @60Minutes Well he was part of the problem 🤔 How many Votes did he denied to the middle class people? Saying "Candy Crush" 🍬 is stopping people from having kids is joke. People can't afford to buy a house or have kids. Tell us why gas, rent, and groceries are so expensive? 🤨🙄 @GOP Joke

  @KFalexthegreat @RushBaby1980 Easy to exude quiet and pensive when taxes pay for your healthcare. To so openly hate the poor and sick (and then blame the world's problems on children playing candy crush) like he does is vile.

  A high-school dropout coded a game after work each night. Microsoft paid $2,500,000,000 in cash for it. Edsbyn, Sweden. Markus Persson grows up in a house coming apart. His father cycles through alcohol, amphetamines, and jail for robberies. His parents split when he is 12. His younger sister runs away into drugs. He fakes stomachaches to skip school and sit at the family Commodore for hours. By 8 he is writing code. He never finishes high school. His mother, a nurse working the graveyard shift, forces him into an online programming course. That course becomes the whole career. 2004: he lands a job at a Stockholm game studio, the outfit that later builds Candy Crush. He keeps a paycheck by day and tinkers on his own worlds at night. 2009: he starts a blocky side project on indie forums and calls it Minecraft. He built the first version in about a week. It spread by word of mouth with no marketing. By 2014: 15,000,000 copies sold across consoles and PC. The pressure of being the sole god of a phenomenon wears him down. September 2014: Microsoft buys his studio Mojang for $2,500,000,000 in cash. His 71% stake makes him a billionaire overnight and lands him on the Forbes list. The audit: Minecraft passed 300,000,000 copies, the best-selling game in history. The 2025 movie grossed over $950,000,000. Forbes marks Persson near $1,300,000,000 today. His father went to jail. The dropout son built the best-selling game ever made.

  Just got out of Backrooms. Was mostly children actually, but the issues came from the parents in this one! One mother was playing Candy Crush the entire time! I asked her nicely to put it away twice and she yelled at me both times. She then caused a scene when somebody else asked

  Makes sense — it's not much better on the consumer side either. Windows keeps "fixing" the wrong things: Windows 8: ugly design → backlash. Windows 10: fixed it → everyone happy. Logical next step for Windows 11? Fix bugs. Cut bloat. Speed it up. What did Microsoft do instead? Redesigned it all over again. 🙃 The actual to-do list sat there, untouched: • Start menu — stripped down, centered by default, less customizable than 2015's version • Ads — built into the Start menu and lock screen. A $2,000 laptop that also sells you Candy Crush. • Copilot — wedged into every corner, nobody asked • TPM 2.0 — legit security call. But ditching old hardware was the perfect excuse to also ditch the legacy code behind it and ship something leaner. Instead: more bloat, and a higher entry price. Somehow this counts as "innovation."

  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

  Been working on level progression for my little piano game And been thinking; what happens if candy crush (and those sorts of games) wanted to add new levels at beginner stages? Or remove levels? Is level 10 on the original candy crush still the same level 10 now? I doubt it. I’m guessing they just replace the level and those who already finishes never knew. But I just never considered that before

  Dying of cancer and still afraid to actually talk frankly about the true problems facing people. No, it isn't Candy Crush, the game primarily popular with housewives.
