I've tried those games so you don't have to:

Reality is even worse than the worst thing you can imagine. You know all those games you've seen hundreds of ads for and do do a pretty shitty job at making the game itself feel interesting?

Well that game content shown in the ads is actually the best part of those games. The actual game has nothing to do with what's shown in the ad, but if you keep playing the super boring game, from time to time you get a chance to play a mini game inside of it which is still pretty boring but miles ahead of the rest of the game. Those mini games are what is shown in the ads.

I don't know how those games afford so many ads. Who is even playing them. I can only imagine some people actually play it just for fear of missing out because the constant ads for those games make the game itself appear popular.
