I found it amusing that the fictional app “Partyr” he lampooned seemed like an actual service I would pay for. Throwing parties is stressful and hard.

I used to make a few hundred bucks a month on good months participating in a real app called SURKUS. Went to a lot of weird places, including a Halloween party put on by a VR consortium. It sent me to someone’s actual house party at least once, but usually was a movie, or an event in the park, or music event and almost every week they’d have me order something off Amazon to review. They would pay via PayPal the value of the Amazon product plus $5-$20 for my time.
