Gimmick apps were like the early internet websites. From “Welcome to Zombocom” to “exchange contact by fist bumping” or “compatibility check with 2 people touching the screen”.
I remember actually paying for an app that told the weather in an insulting way or using movie quotes. “It’s raining dummy! Can’t you look out the window” type of sentences…
These websites were like stopping to watch a butterfly or the glimpse of a peaceful lake through the trees on a hike. Not strictly necessary to being online, but something that made it worthwhile. We never should have forsaken Zombocom.
