All your questions about Pokémon Go, answered

How does Pokémon Go work? What are the privacy concerns around it? And, most importantly, what is the best Pokémon?

On the latest episode of Too Embarrassed to Ask, Recode’s Kara Swisher and The Verge’s Lauren Goode and Sean O’Kane endeavored to answered all these questions and many more. The buzz around the augmented reality mobile game is so strong that it wrested control of the podcast away from our originally planned discussion topic, GoPro.

(When will we and the rest of the media stop talking about Pokémon Go and, to quote Kara, "Pokémon leave"? Sean gave the game about a month before it stops attracting new players because newbies will find that everyone else is way ahead of them.)

But never fear, fans of camera tech and/or extreme sports. Later in the show, Kara, Lauren and Sean also answered your questions about GoPro and discussed the challenges the company faces as it prepares to launch the long-awaited Hero 5 action camera later this year.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
