I feel like mobile games and TikTok are the friends who say they hate each other but then are secretly hooking up
-
a note about bitlife ads: they often show off features that you have to pay for without saying that they're paid features and honestly the game is super boring unless you spend money on the actually interesting stuff
-
If I see one more ad for AFK Journey I am gonna have to check myself into an asylum
-
My gf worked with a company that did online marketing and one of the things she mentioned is that they purposely show the games being played incorrectly/poor optimization to get people to have an emotional reaction so they'll play the game
-
Every mobile ad is like this now with the fake streamer/tiktoker/cheap celeb on cameo and it's been driving me up a wall, it's cool that advertising laws don't count when it comes to the internet
-
As someone who babysits regularly, the "mobile game voice" marketing strategy works wonders on kids. A lot of parents let their kids scroll through youtube shorts and these kids will genuinely stop and watch the mobile game ads. I've had kids ask me if I can call their mom so they can download a game they saw an ad for. It's annoying and stupid but clearly it's effective.
-
Can't all of these developers just come together and use all of this money and effort to just make one real game?
-
Andy please help me overcome my crippling gambling addiction!
-
Still annoyed the Lily's Garden game wasn't following the ad lore
-
I just hate these ads because they play so horribly for no reason. It’s genuinely frustrating
-
Whenever you see a marketing strategy you don’t understand, 99% of the time it’s because you are not the target audience, and these days it’s because literally all of these are unofficially being marketed to kids/preteens. That’s the secret of the “mobile game voice”: it’s the exact same tone as children’s tv trying to keep their attention.
-
these apps play for so long on Grindr that it is now common practice to just close and restart the app whenever they pop up because it's quicker for the app to load then the time it takes to close the ads
-
The mobile game ads that I hate the most are those that are just straight up softcore "corn"
-
I audibly groan every time I get a stupid ad like this on block blast. LET ME GET MY PALM TREE COLORED IN PEACE
-
I wanna mention a GOOD mobile game. A dark Room. Its 100% text based, and a mystery. Its free, small, and a wonderful example of story telling. You have to go out and explore the world, and build a settlement as you go. Because its text only, with only a few buttons, its super easy to navigate.
-
Andy you had the chance to do the funniest thing possible and have your sponsorship be for a mobile game
-
I swear I think these ads can’t get weirder but they do. The makeover game ads are a fever dream. One in particular had the character you make over on her knees and her boyfriend has one leg held up to hair dry her very very long leg hair. I’m talking extension length. You can’t forget the smell lines from her foot too. I can’t remember the rest but that screen shot will live on in my phone.
-
The thing is these ads do work, on children on tiktok they will download the game when older people see how its a scam

16:57 the clark kent effect is real. i would have never recognized you on the street without your glasses. until you start yapping, of course.
