  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

  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.

  @cheeseonearth @edwardrow The fact that they have to cram all their ******* use into the one half day they have off is the real issue with 15 hours in the candy crush mines.

  re asha saying "we want 1BN daily users" it's better to think like, well that's obviously not achievable with a console model, what other ways might they add to measure that? for example MS owns candy crush, /w a MS login that's thousands of daily active users from the NYPD alone

  @spencerpratt I’m ok with my taxes helping the working class instead of being used for NYPD lawsuits / more cops to sit around and play candy crush

  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)

  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

  You remember when Facebook was the go-to social media for gacha games back then? It's because that social media site had one huge selling point; It was the only social media that let you save your progress across devices. Say for example you upgrade your phone but need to move your account to your new device. That's where Facebook's login feature comes in for games like Clash of Clans, Candy Crush, and even those Korean gacha games.

  I got stuck behind a slow walker on the DC metro this morning who was playing CANDY CRUSH on her phone and I’m still thinking about it

  @Fernan1393 @prettyantipod The Internet just keeps getting shittier. Before it was just the nerds who knew how to get a modem working. Then it was the people who could afford cable and a computer. Then it was the libtards who could buy an iPhone. And then it got to the point even grandma had a phone for Candy Crush and Facebook. The DV is just the talk radio fanbase escaping containment from Facebook as radio dies and transitions to streaming. Except without the awareness that the Internet needs to stay on the Internet, because there was always that one crazy person on a forum or a Usenet group who would totally visit you and stab you in the face if he could put an address to your username.

  @CandyCrushSaga seriously. This game has tested my patience this week. Yet again it crashed just as I earned the super colour bomb. Please fix this issue,
