What does it mean?
Many mobile apps have a "pull to refresh" feature where you swipe up to the top of whatever list you're looking at and then swipe up even further to refresh the whole feed. A "crazy refresh pull" is when said content appears on the newly refreshed feed and the user finds it enjoyable in a way they find to be extraordinary, or at the very least, better than average.
'Pull' also refers to a 'win' in a gamified gambling sense.
In the context of opening a loot box or a prize card deck in a gatcha game, the 'pull' is what you draw out, and so a "crazy pull" would be a very desirable, rare or extremely lucky item.
That's how gambling mechanics get hardwired into our brains.
It's more exploiting the existing dopamine addiction tendancies that humans already have rather than gambling specifically.
I bet.
(sorry)
On smartphones, when you are on a webpage or in this case YouTube you can refresh the page/view by tap and hold the top of the page/view and then pull down a bit and then release. That's the so called refresh pull.
Apparently it comes in various rarity level like a mythic refresh pull.
This is actually incorrect.
The word "pull" comes from gacha games and it means getting a rare reward by rolling the dice.
that may be true, but pull doesn't originate from gacha games either, but from TCG Booster Packs, where you literally pull cards of various rarity from the pack.
The mythic refresh pull is when you accidentally refresh, when there was actually something you’re super interested in, and now you can’t find it anymore.
~Not that I’m speaking from experience or anything. 😅~
Isn’t that the angry refresh pull?
Or when the app does it automatically after you switched to another app
