“crazy refresh pull” is the latest annoying slop comment the kids are posting

[-] Dookieman12@piefed.social 31 points 3 weeks ago

Also, "How could the algorithm hide this from me for a whole [however old the video was when they clicked on it]" when the video was uploaded minutes ago

Many mobile apps have a "pull to refresh" feature where you swipe up to the top of whatever list you're looking at and then swipe up even further to refresh the whole feed. A "crazy refresh pull" is when said content appears on the newly refreshed feed and the user finds it enjoyable in a way they find to be extraordinary, or at the very least, better than average.

That's how gambling mechanics get hardwired into our brains.

It's more exploiting the existing dopamine addiction tendancies that humans already have rather than gambling specifically.

[-] altkey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 weeks ago

I bet.

(sorry)

'Pull' also refers to a 'win' in a gamified gambling sense.

In the context of opening a loot box or a prize card deck in a gatcha game, the 'pull' is what you draw out, and so a "crazy pull" would be a very desirable, rare or extremely lucky item.

This was always my interpretation, rather than the swipe down to refresh action.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 3 points 3 weeks ago

On smartphones, when you are on a webpage or in this case YouTube you can refresh the page/view by tap and hold the top of the page/view and then pull down a bit and then release. That's the so called refresh pull.

Apparently it comes in various rarity level like a mythic refresh pull.

[-] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

The mythic refresh pull is when you accidentally refresh, when there was actually something you’re super interested in, and now you can’t find it anymore.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago

Isn’t that the angry refresh pull?

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Or when the app does it automatically after you switched to another app

[-] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 6 points 3 weeks ago

This is actually incorrect.

The word "pull" comes from gacha games and it means getting a rare reward by rolling the dice.

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 3 weeks ago

that may be true, but pull doesn't originate from gacha games either, but from TCG Booster Packs, where you literally pull cards of various rarity from the pack.

Slot machines would like a word

[-] RaphaelSchmitz@feddit.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Lol TCGs are just gacha without a computer I guess

Lol TCGs are just gachapon without asian I guess

[-] bluecario@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It's my mission in life to downvote (YouTube Revanced) every one of those comments.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Physically unscrollable comment
