Paying For Downloads Is Lame, And We Had No Idea We Were Doing It

tcappYou know that annoying kid in Junior High that used to give you his lunch money to hang out? That's what incentivized mobile app downloads are like. Or rather, it's that kids mom or older brother paying you to hang out with them.So when we were blindsided by saw thispost by our founder Michael Arrington earlier today, about the TechCrunch mobile app being offered in exchange for a whopping 9 premium plays of Goobers Vs. Boogers*, we didn't believe it. That's not the TechCrunch app, we said, it has to be a clone. The logo is different we said. Our COO Ned Desmond even downloaded a Tapjoy game and started playing it, just to prove it wasn't the real TechCrunch app being offered up for less Premium Play credits than Bubble Safari.
