So maybe you’ve heard of Flappy Bird, the dumb little app that people have been going crazy over for a month or so now? Well, it recently got pulled off the App Store, and probably not for any reason you’re thinking.
Go on and read this article about the rise and fall of Flappy Bird, and tell me that you don’t hate the human race just a little more than you did before you read it.
The tldr version is that the creator of the game pulled it himself because of constant harrassment. From people who disliked the game, people who were jealous of his success, and people who just wanted to jump on the hate bandwagon.
Now I don’t like Flappy Bird. I think it’s dumb and I can’t believe that so many people are getting so “addicted” to it. But I’m not going to send death threats to the dude who created it. That is retarded, and just another example of how the internet brings out the worst in people.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go fume about this elsewhere, and lament the fact that I’m too lazy to actually try to make a difference.
