    Tired and blurry eyed. Read the headline as Ass, and it made just as much sense.

    Um, I realize I’m only considered mediocre in tech understanding now that I’m in my early 30s, but don’t app purchases require a password or fingerprint these days? I’m specifically speaking about iPhones here, I don’t know what android requires. But, shit, doesn’t part of being a PARENT mean you implement this shit so your kids can’t randomly click on brightly colored things and spend your money?

      I think it’s the lazy part where people don’t want to just *sign all the way out* of the app store (cuz they’d have to sign back in).

      I’m assuming that the in-app purchases are done with “Game dollars” which no kid would know are bought with real dollars that are billed to you/ automatically taken out of whatever store account you have set up. The kid would just see something like “Spend twenty Kardashian Bucks to keep playing” and they tap and there you go.

    I have a two year old, and I struggle to think of what I would give him that would have in app purchases he could get himself. The things he plays with have a parents’ section that require a code he can’t read yet if they have additional paid content, and I use another program to wall him off from the rest of the tablet.

      I’ll bet anything there will be a delivery of megapack of gummy worms from Amazon on your front porch tomorrow.

      Kids are smarter than adults. Their synopses are firing. Figuring out how things work and how to get around them is practically what they do every single day. I’ve had several friends who had their kids get into insane shit on their ipad they shouldn’t have been able to access because of parental controls.

      (Obviously this is not intended to be completely serious. I’m sure your iPad is safe. But, seriously, I’ve heard horror stories.)

    Kanye, Kardashians, apps — things we did not know about in the 1990s. Oh how I long for those idyllic, sylvan days of innocence and good drugs.

    The other crazy thing is that this guy has limitless amounts of money and it bugs him enough that he would take time out from his ... clearly busy day ... to rant about it. Imagine how the rest of us poor suckers feel.

      Right? It’s not like he’s some ideological or political progressive, in which case you could imagine him caring about people without the money to afford this kind of scam.

      Well, maybe it is just him caring about the exploitation of children. I don’t know, but it just seems like so much about him that this just hit him, and when stuff just hits him, he always feels the need to take some kind of overwrought stand. I hate these kinds of people. They are so impulsive. I mean, I can just as readily see him advocating for the abolition of the estate tax, just because, man.

    part of me thinks “good on Kanye for caring about money being spent that in no way affects his bank account.”

    I also like the thought of him decoding besuretodrinkyourovaltine and losing his shit

        Hebrew or Amharic (one of the Ethiopian language groups). I think it’s a lovely name.
