Holy fuck, like Mr Robot x Black Mirror

It's not dystopian in the slightest though, a requirement of a Black Mirror episode

@@emilyb.8219 Something about HQ trivia did always feel like Black Mirror and I'm not sure exactly why.

You don’t have to play everyday

Idk if it wasn't everyday, i probably wpuldve forgotten about it amd not do it at all. Having it everyday made it so it was built into my daily routime

Yup

I didnt even know what it was until this.... all i can say is it sounds like skout: for basic bitches

I was today years old when I learned it existed, and god damn, it feels more like something out of a wacky surreal TV show that something that actually happened IRL.

There's a difference because people think they could win a million dollars. With HQ, they could potentially win 10 dollars by paying 10 dollars.

@@sanhakim1335 ...No, that's only a certain type of lottery. Scratch off tickets routinely advertise the small chance of winning around $10,000, but routinely only award players around $5-10. That's exactly the same business model as HQ, and people don't get those scratch off tickets for free.

@@sanhakim1335 Also, people playing HQ have won large amounts like $75,000. It's just much more common to win a smaller amount, like $10. Exactly like a scratch off lottery ticket.

@@gabebarbieri194 you forget one thing. People who buy lottery tickets are stupid. All they see is the potential to win millions, or tens of thousands. If the pot gets split when more people win, it inevitably means a pay 2 win system will lower the pot more. Now, they have virtually no chance of winning thousands

And everybody online has that business model as well. "pay me to get rich" its lovely

I don’t see a problem there.

@@jmfoerst they did it too late, they didn't like the idea of doing ads

agree but there is an inherent problem with ads on HQ. people only use the app to play the game and you cant leave mid-game. low click rates

@@mattspyro They could’ve easily added a ‘save ad link’ button so you can look at it after the game ended.

bruh you suck make better videos

@@whoissparky5983 bruh

me and al 20 guys at work used to play it and we won nothing, i heard someone one $4 once then i gave up after 3 weeks as it was worth less then working 1 minutes over time at work. was kind of fun to play though

My phone was too shit to run it and, by the time I upgraded, it was gone

@@samuelthehobo4441 that's the joke

Starting to? My dude when have they been anything but shady as fuck

Or it just doesn't work - the only one of these I've tried out is ad wallet. It seemed reasonably not like a scam - I would watch ads for them, and get a small amount of money in return. However, it would let you draw your cash until you reached $10, and suddenly the ads stopped coming.

@@yungoldman2823 true, but there’s just more free money apps out there. So it’s getting shadier because there’s more of it.

@@WasatchWind how long did it take for that $10? It sounds genuinely awful, I pay $12 for yt premium so I *don't* have to deal with ads

The entire time I watched this video I thought about the 2020 Tetris mobile app made the exact same mistake. Gave the "win real money by playing Tetris" scpeal. They called it Tetris Primetime and it even had a host, just like HQ Trivia. It was legit too, people were winning thousands of dollars. Then they lowered their prize winnings and introduced a ticket system that forced players to pay if they wanted to play more than once a day. Player ratings fell off a cliff and never recovered. Its a bummer but I think it proves this business model just doesn't work. The game was really fun though, in about 2 months time I had walked away with about $45. Judging by how much time each Primetime game lasted and how many I won, thats like minimum wage. Ill miss it

hq trivia was more forgettable than most apps, lol. it was pretty clear from the start that it couldn't last.

@@Simon-xi7lb true but I'm glad I got to enjoy it's heyday

Same here I did this with my friends and sisters. Never won anything but it was just a way to test our wits

I remember playing it daily and saying quiz daddy a lot in the chat, but I clicked on this video expecting to learn some obscure internet thing that I was too young for only for all the horrendous memories to flood back

Same here!!!

True

Good idea, in the right place in in the wrong time

Theres a similar game out now on tetris

True!! Just like Tik Tok perfected off of what Vine failed at

Here are some three suggestions I found •Free version :maximum you can win is 100 or so dollars (of course no one will ever win that much) Paid version: pay like 10 bucks and win limit is removed •Ad breaks between and only between questions so as not to annoy con testants too much •sponser some middle tier youtubers to make content about it and hopefully the clickbait bigger channel makes videos about it for free

Hasn’t happened and COVID been going couple years basically

When something seems easy and simple, it often isn't.

There was a training mode like that toward the end. But yeah, not sure why they couldn't sell enough ads. Maybe ads are all a scam, and you cant get ad buys if you aren't in a club.

That's actually clever. As simple as that seems I didn't think of that and I doubt many others did. But then again, I didn't feel compelled to think of a solution while watching this; I just enjoyed the story.

Thats a pretty good idea. You could also introduce some microtransactions to give you a hint or narrow down your options.

This already exists. It’s called the HQ Daily Challenge on the app.

Is he gay? If not what’s this new trend of straight people using the word “twink” usually in a derogatory or negative way?

@@ozschragger9496 it's not used in a derogatory way. And although twink is a common term in the gay community, it is a descriptive word that can describe any guy regardless of sexuality. The typical definition is something along the lines of: Late teens, thin, no facial hair, little to no body hair, "cute" (even though that's subjective).

@@ozschragger9496 yeah he's gay, watch his podcast

the last game i ever played was like a 70k or something and so many people won that the winnings were $0.01 and $0.02. i said screw this im not gonna have the unicorn luck and get every question right just to win less than a NYC sidewalk will give me.

May have been there, I don’t remember specific questions tho, what happened with that question lol?

@@andreja9425 The question was what is a base ingredient in bird's nest soup and the possible answers were bird's nest, cabbage, and noodles. The bird's nest seemed too obvious so most without a bot or Google guessed cabbage and noodles and the answer actually was bird's nest. There were 2 million people playing and only 250,000 left after that answer. And to rub it in the next night Scott ate soup out of a bowl with a bird on it

Kendrell Harrison damn that’s savage as fuck lol, I think I was there for that because i remember a really dumb question like that that most people got wrong and they all freaked out over it. RIP that 1,750,000 who got it wrong

He gave me the creeps too. A friend of mine was way into it and I was like, bruh I'm not inviting this weirdo into my house

That was actually the selling point for me. He was like something straight out of Black Mirror.

Feels like he's watching us, as if he know we are there

I felt like I was in a Black Mirror episode anytime I played HQ

yes!! i played it after scott left and actually preferred matt and anna even though a lot of people hated them... like sure they were kind of cringe at times but at least i never felt like they were looking directly into my soul
