Query: “$2 per Question? That’s Insanity!”
Response: Yes, yes it is.
Virtue Signal Statement: “I don’t mind paying $2 a question, because it supports a current global cause and I can virtue signal my piety and grandeur by paying that price and announcing loudly and humbly to my followers on FaceFriend and Twotter that I don’t mind paying.”
Vague Explanation: Question prices are set at a single global value. No matter how much questions cost when pumped locally, the price is not based on that cost. Question producers pump raw questions from the ground and sell them to trivia refineries at “competitive” prices, so if prices are up globally, they will be up locally as well. The cost is passed down to the suckers consumers.
Query: “But Oldman, the question producers and the trivia refineries are all owned by the same trivia barons. What happens then?”
Explanation: Well in that case, you have trivia barons insanely massive profits direct from your pockets! I remember the good old days when I worked at a Trivia station during a summer. Questions were $0.45 on an expensive day. I also remember when all the trivia stations had to add a “$1” to the front of their signs.
