  @CREID2852 @Empty_America Candy Crush is played a few hours a day, a huge chunk of the players way past fertility. What our society does, keep trying the same stupid solutions is the very definition of insanity. The reality is, there is not fix and we don't need one.

  @The_Epic_Mike they really think candy crush and farmville makes them gamers the problem is that the development companies believe this too they think they can convert the candy crush crowd to AAA games, which is just pure insanity I know zero women who own a PS5 or Xbox, zero, none

  @SkippyPetro It’s a reasonably good extension of the point though. Candy Crush is good for example of the inherent problem of making men superfluous for female existence. Women don’t like men that much anymore as men don’t have as much to offer as society, both in comfort and entertainment.

  @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.

  @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.

  Yeah, candy crush is definitely the problem. Pay no attention to the on-fire garbage can behind the curtian, please.

  @JohnnyGaming9 @khaliltooshort Yeah this isnt true because men and women play different genres entirely which is where the issues in making games are. Also, this stat likely includes mobile gaming which is a joke. The stats need to show how many people console and apC game. Not mobile. Every phone had candy crush on it for example. That doesnt mean upu are a gamer.

  Jake McCoy (@jakehmccoy) reported 14 minutes ago

  This is, of course, totally in bad faith but if you extrapolate "ban candy crush" to what Sasse actually means, I would take the "ban candy crush" side as the heavy favorite. There is no amount of money or accommodation that will restore fertility. Yet another problem that we have tried and failed to GDP ourselves out of.

• 
  Skol Rant (@SkolRant) reported 14 minutes ago

  @Hockey_ftw Sasse is blaming culture that is *shaped* by policy that *he supports* — policy that actively harms parents and makes it more difficult to have and support children. He’s telling you it’s Candy Crush and you’re believing it while he’s the ******* problem.

  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.

  I am not normally a gambler, I sometimes do lotto but usually forget, anyway, I recently went on a website to bet for Restore to win the general election and after I spent my money I had some change, about £2.50 and though I’d draw it out and buy an online lotto scratch card but I remembered I hate them and noticed there were games on the betting site like online bingo, roulette, and some candy crush looking games. Well, I like roulette, we had a toy mini table as kids and the other side was a mini snooker table. Me and my siblings spent hours in the summer holidays honing our psychic skills, trying to guess or mentally will the ball to land on a number. So I thought, why not? It’s only £2.5. I like roulette. So I clicked on the game thinking ‘how does this work is it like online scratch cards and already decided?’ and it was a real roulette table and someone spinning the ball 😮 I thought this looks like it costs money to run and there can’t be many people playing cos it’s 4pm I thought it was just me and maybe another person playing for some reason, But then after the ball lands there’s a rolling list of the account names and their wins ; some were wining small others BIG. ‘If that’s what people are winning wtf are they losing?’ And then I remembered I saw another type of roulette advertised on the site and so I went and checked and yes there must have been at least half a dozen different live roulette games happening at once, and then there were other genres; poker, horse racing, one armed bandit type games, etc That was just one website. So, anyway I’m starting to suspect the UK has a gambling problem on a scale I dread to imagine Anyway, I like Roulette, so I put my change on the roulette table won a bit and left as soon as I had doubled my money. I still got those psychic powers from my teen years training But I can’t stop thinking about what I saw; so many opportunities to gamble Should adverts for gambling be banned? For the first time I think maybe we should have food stamps style benefits for people so they are not tempted to gamble because surely some are.

  @60Minutes Lmao yeah the problem is everyone is playing Candy Crush. Certainly not the economy, shifting priorities and a generation of undesirable men propagandized by rw podcasters.

  @adjsjdnskn @60Minutes Birth rates have been declining for over a hundred years. You are correct and my earlier post was wrong to say they started to crash in 1960... but my main point was it clearly wasn't caused by smartphones and candy crush which are relatively recent.

  @mcahogarth The problem is that "gaming" has come to mean everything, including solitaire or Candy Crush. Yes, these are games, but playing them isn't "Gaming". "Gaming" is more involved (or can be), usually more time consuming. Like a video game version of a tabletop RPG.

  @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.

  @balatroist @KevinCastley @grok When you don’t have an argument. You either strawman or just hurl insults. You haven’t made a single coherent rebuttal . Other than Oh Yeah what about xxxxx. In lieu actually addressing the issue. This isn’t your strong suit. Maybe find something else to do. Try midget porn maybe or candy crush. I hear that’s popular.

  @Luseraphiel @tajbanis @BleuSpheres I think the problem is that we call very disparate things "games". At least I'd separate gamey games and cinematic experiences (CinEx anyone?). I even have my doubts if Candy Crush (the original, from the web portal) should be in the same category as Candy Crush Saga (MTX-based).

  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

  @LOVETHEW0RLD What irritates me. When I was a kid, my mom would play Sonic 2. Beat it. We played other games. She beat Crash 1 - 3(100% btw). She almost beat Banjo and kazooie. Stuff happens. Now she plays "candy crush" type games. And said video games are overwhelming. Wtf do you mean!? 😭
