Niantic, the fiendish peddlers of Pokémon GO, had some huge layoffs recently. They also have a bunch of failed ideas, a game they've exploited into the dirt, and a real contempt for disabled players.

I'd be happy to fund that study. Point me to where I can throw my money.

Hey Steph, great episode. Don't forget Niantic's recently released Peridot AR game, which is basically Pokemon Go changed enough that they can legally sell it without spending money on a license.

There's a video I saw a while ago speculating about some of Niantic's other forms of monetization related to the history of some of its founders and who they used to work for. Basically, dealing with just what else they might be doing with all of that delicious AR data that they are amassing once AR events became the defacto way of gaining easy rewards and why they always seem to have you go to out of the way corners that seem difficult to drive a vehicle to. The speculation was the guy used to work for the spooks and he might still be dealing business with them.

Another great video Steph! And damned impressive of you to crank out the last bits while drunk.

How about for every employee a corporation fires or lays off, a sliding scale on their capital gains tax goes up for that tax year? Sort of an idea for executive thumb screws in theory. Something has to be done to chain the financial success of the folks at the top to those on the ground.

The mask really does make your eyes pop, though. It's a good look.
