Forests create impossible physical feelings from thoughts and moments. Like the early sunlight hitting dew on moss. Like the entire life of each dry leaf you crunch. Like not minding a little rain. Like understanding the choices of a river or the perspective of a tree. Like the safe haven of a cave.

I was the first person to review someone's book on Goodreads and I gave them 5 stars. They put me in their will. True story.

Today the two-child limit is gone. Parents have told us what this will mean for their kids: - A first-ever birthday party for a 10-year-old - Better quality food - Clothes that aren't completely worn out - Going on the school trip without getting into debt - A new mattress - Swimming lessons

The US granted visas to Jews but only allowed 30,000 in from Germany a year. You had to wait for your number to come up. Meet Robert Smallbones. An unassuming British diplomat who 'hacked' this system so effectively (saving 48 THOUSAND Jews) the UK government kept his scheme secret for decades /1 🧵
old couple (Robert and his wife Inga), dressed in smart clothes. both look unassuming and like they could be anybodies' grandparents.

It's amazing that Google's AI is so reluctant to give you a link. Even if you say "add links to this response", sometimes it just won't. They solved hallucinations with belligerence I guess.

P.S. If you do download the game via an ad, it changes nothing in this process. You still have to watch the rest of the ad. And they won't stop advertising the game to you either. In fact they'll probably do it more because you showed interest.
000
JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
So they get more desperate and go deeper into these stupid tactics. That's how we got here. Also Google wants it this way. The trickery keeps you unsatisfied and always looking for a new game (and therefore more likely to click an ad).

JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
And low quality users don't stick around for long and so aren't worth much to games makers. People who clicked accidentally on an ad are unlikely to buy the premium pass that "removes all in-app ads" (but only removes a fraction of them in reality).
100
JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Every step of the way is trickery. They don't try to get you to *want to* download the game they have actually made. They rely on wearing you down and/or accidental clicks. They are going for quantity, not quality users.

6) You can click out of this static ad page by pressing the X again. There may be a timer before you can press the X, and it may or may not take you to the Google Play page again. This whole process repeats every 90 seconds on average.
100
JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Note: The overall rating on Google Play also does not represent actual reviews. Games showing a perfect 5 stars in Google Play often (impossibly) have many 1 star reviews.

JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
5) You return to your game from Google Play, but there is more of the ad. Usually a static image which also shows how many stars the game gets on Google Play. This number of stars shown here is not linked to Google Play, and will not be the same as what you see on the games page in Google Play.

JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
4) To return to your game from Google Play in step 3 (or 2) you have to press back using your phones functionality (usually twice). However, if you press back within Google Play (in the top left) then you go to Google Plays homepage. You cannot return to your game this way.
100
JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
(After returning to the ad from step 2 if you tapped at the wrong point...) 3) When the timer says so, you can press the X to close the ad. This does not close the ad - it takes you to Google Play. Sometimes it says "Google Play" instead of X, giving you no way of knowing how to exit the ad.

JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
2) Many ads are playable demos. These ads will generally bear little relation to the game being advertised. Some ads stop being playable suddenly, and take you to Google Play on a random tap. Some ads pretend to be playable and do this on your 1st tap. These two types of ads are indistinguishable.

JWB @jd-256.bsky.social · 04/01/2026
Freemium mobile game ads on android are just series of tricks at this point. It goes... 1) A pop-up appears in your phone game asking if you want a reward for watching an ad. If you tap yes, the ad plays. Often if you tap no, the ad plays anyway (but no reward is given).

Remember when Google had that "I feel lucky" button that would choose a search result for you, but they removed it because no one used it? Few people trusted Google itself to know the answers. AI overviews are the revenge of that idea. AI mode is just the "I feel lucky" button writ large.
