The economics of modern mobile games is based around the idea that a tiny percentage of “whales” don’t mind spending thousands of dollars on mobile games, and everyone else plays for free or gets $2 worth of extra lives every now and then, which is why the prices have been ballooning.

I don’t think that says what you think it does. It says that a simple list of ingredients is not enough, but adding directions (i.e. the actual recipe) is, and also that it doesn’t apply to cookbooks. I’m not convinced.

What’s crazy is that it’s not even just the US anymore. It’s supposed to be the day after thanksgiving, but we don’t even have thanksgiving! They only celebrate that 6000km away! What the hell do you mean it’s “black week”?!

It’s mostly because of SEO. Google’s algorithm thinks this is what a good recipe looks like, so that’s all you get in your search results.

That’s not the writer’s fault, it’s Google’s. The algorithm heavily penalizes recipes that don’t perfectly conform to the “long meandering story, ingredient list with affiliate links, maybe the recipe or maybe not, broken comment section” formula.

That’s a big generalization, and really depends on the place you live. My local library doesn’t have a bathroom or even a place to sit down.

We really invented a way to share information instantly and freely, then immediately manufactured scarcity again so it doesn’t hurt the bottom line.

Mine isn’t even just fiction, it’s purely romance fiction. I guess their stats said that’s all people read.

Like with many scams, GenAI just makes it easier. Generate a Dall-E cover, ask ChatGPT to proofread, put it on a shitty online marketplace, and charge the author $5000 for the whole thing - congrats, you’ve disrupted the publishing industry!

A vanity press scam is when you charge aspiring authors large amounts of money up-front based on the promises that you’ll publish their book, then you either publish it very poorly (no editing, no marketing etc) or just run away with the bag.

Actually one ruble is a coin, and paper money starts at 10 rubles - so give it a couple more weeks!

Do you also not understand the appeal of chess, cards, football, or tag? The urge to play is a very basic instinct in humans, and it’s manifested in a huge variety of games over the millennia. There’s nothing unique about video games in that regard.
