I can barely read this.
Seriously, why is this even on HN? I would have loved to see a coherent argument against putting game mechanics into everything, but this certainly is not it.
Not only could you not read it (or I), but Readability couldn't even parse it:
"Sorry, readability was unable to parse this page for content. If you feel like it should have been able to, please let us know by submitting an issue."
lol u suk so dont like call me to invest.
im smart 2.
Many/most business predictions are wrong, but at least this set of forecasts is funny.
A less attention-grabbing headline might have been "Game mechanics is no substitute for a revenue model".
The too-cool-for-school writing style isn't really my thing either, but hey, that's just me.
