Ep9 - The REAL Price of Mario Run

Barely Super Podcast

"Free is just another way to make money" But what does that actually mean? What does it mean for an App to be free. We live in a universe governed by the rule of equivalent exchange, where for every reaction there has to be an equal and opposite reaction… so what does it truly mean to have something that is free? This week we talk about the newest craze Mario Run and how Nintendo sees us as individuals. I also go into the psychology of it all and throw in some interesting things about dogs and bells… If you know, you know. I also want to let you, the people I have conversations with every time I record these, how much gratitude I have for you. You span all across the globe, and I hope I've been able to have lengthy and really deep conversations with you. Today I rank 53,294th position in terms of Podcast popularity, but when you do listen, you listen in droves and at the peak of the last episode we made it to 216th place. That's unreal. I hope to keep entertaining you. This is my 2016 gift to you. See you in the next year. Happy Holidays. I love you.
