If it’s cheap to get stars, I’m definitely having Dolph Lundgren at my next birthday party. Dude doesn’t have to do anything, just hang out.

    Mobile games make an embarrassing amount of money exploiting addiction. It’s a “great” way to make a quick buck.

      yeah, get people mentally engaged, and invested, then put friction in the way of the thing they want to do, but the friction can be solved with money.

      Add a social aspect, a timelyness/urgency aspect, a fomo aspect, and bam… skinner box people pay money into.
