There was a GDC talk telling a a story where two bored indie game devs made an AI that churns out throwaway low-quality slot machine games as a joke, but actually earned much more money they they’ve expected (thousands of dollars per day). They jokingly told that the reason for high CPU numbers was their “anti-retention” model, where people get so bored by their game that they would literally click ads to escape into another game!

That talk was hilarious, here’s the link: https://youtu.be/E8Lhqri8tZk

It was only ~$250 per day, but still entertaining and worth watching. Thank you!
