Know When To Quit - The Sunk Cost Fallacy

Let's say you buy a $10 movie ticket.
But 15 minutes in, you realise this movie isn't what you expected it to be.
However, because you feel like you're supposed to get your money's worth, you decide to watch the rest of the 2 hour movie.
This decision is based on your loss of $10.
But it isn't an optimal one.
A more logical thing to do, would have been to get up and leave after you had realised this movie wasn't what you wanted to watch.
Wouldn't you be better off, had you only wasted $10 and 15 minutes of your time, instead of wasting $10 and 2 hours?
Had you left early, you would've essentially gained 2 hours of extra time.
Those $10 you spent were gone or "sunk" either way. You couldn't get them back, whether you watched the rest of the movie or not.
And that phenomenon is what psychologists and economists call: the sunk cost fallacy.
It's one of the more common cognitive biases that clouds our judgement.
Instead of making a decision based on potential future returns, we make them on our past losses.

You didn't waste time. You invested it and learned something about yourself: you want to do something different. The waste is choosing to continue after you learned this.

Yep, gambling is build on this principle - as player loses he strives to regain those losses and loses even more

[@djthevj]

so true i am stuck for so long trying to get it back to feel happy and content again which is a trap of the mind now i realize

[@jusven007]

Absolutely true

[@Don-IV]

But what if they do win? I don't think gambling is sunk cost. Time and (non-refundable) money are sunk costs because you cannot get them back. Gambling, there is a chance (albeit incredibly slim) to get it back, therefore it's not sunk yet.

[@sofialovisa6906]

​@@Don-IV The money you lost gambling doesn't make it more probable you will win the next time. It is not an investment, just money you allready spent. It's true the argument doesn't deal with absolute certainties but with probabilities. You might win next time you gamble, but you probably wont. You might make your relationship good by trying even more, but you probably wont. Etc. Learning from your experiences is a good way to go. :)

[@Don-IV]

@@sofialovisa6906 sorry, misread the original comment. I thought they were talking specifically about the term "sunk costs" as opposed to the overall principle of the video. I also agree with you, but i wasn't speaking about probability. Sunk cost cannot be recovered i.e. non refundable purchase or time spent in a relationship. I still don't think gambling is completely a sunk cost though i.e. if someone played a 50/50 game, and doubled their previous bet everytime they lost, eventually they would recover their loss (although I understand this is impossible in reality due to gambling rules and the human life span 🤣 so i guess you're right practically, but not in theory 😅)

I remember when I had this same realization with regards to reading certain books. I ALWAYS finished every book I read, and then I realized that I was under no obligation to finish a book I did not enjoy. Now I give it 1/4 of the book to win me over. At that point, if I'm not getting anything out of it, enjoying it, or really compelled to continue, I just set the book aside and quit. It has been quite freeing for me.

[@elainelorimer818]

Interesting take. I imagine creators would argue that you should give the entirety a chance (what if a super slow start somehow builds up the bestcending ever?) But you have finite time, and if you have many books than it makes sense to have to "vet" them. Interesting interpretation.

[@JaneDoeDoeDeeOhDoe]

Years ago, I read someone's rules about reading books. I only remember the last one, which was: "You don't have to finish it." This came as a surprise, as I always thought once I opened it, I should stick it out to the bitter end. But now I don't do that, and I find it has freed me to feel okay about trying ANY book, knowing I don't have to make the commitment.

One might argue that it could be the same as giving up but in reality, it isn’t. You’re simply acknowledging the fact that what you are currently doing isn’t aligned with your life goals. Sure, you may have wasted time, but by moving on early, you’ll save more time in the long run.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

Sunk Cost is probably a result of our dopamine system. You'd think that being given $100 and then losing it again immediately shouldn't affect your mood, because you're in the same situation as 2 minutes ago. But in reality, your brain has released dopamine because of the anticipated use of $100. When the money is withdrawn, that feels to the brain like a real loss, because suddenly the dopamine stops squirting (sorry). And the end of a dopamine rush results in a rebound feeling, depending on the size of the dopamine release. So that's why we keep doing this unuseful behaviour.

[@rebeccaholm4439]

That is every time you're at a restaurant and order too much to eat, eat it all up because I just as well payed for it xD I'm trying ot think that I actually spent money to be happy, and if I'm happy with less food than I ordered, then I shouldn't force myself to eat more. :)

[@BetterThanYesterday]

That's absolutely right 😄

In such a case i kindly ask if i can take the remaining food with me to eat later at home. In some restaurants they even ask you if you want to take it home.

Can honestly relate with what you said at 7:25 with battlepasses in games, specifically in Fortnite and Apex Legends. Didn't enjoy Fortnite anymore, but still played it and grinded it because I felt like I had to finish the battle passes. Quit Fortnite around 1 year ago, but I still play Apex Legends because it's fun, but don't do challenges anymore just because I have to.

[@terrenavilla]

Usually whenever I watch a video on KZbin, they always feel so long full of rambling and it'd take too much of my time to finish them. It's not the case with yours though, what fascinates me with all of your content is that it doesn't feel like I just spent 9 minutes to watch a 9-minute video. I believe this is what knowledge on story telling and caring about your audience gives you. It turns out that being a good at story telling can do wonders. People, including me, tend to forget that there is a craft in delivery. Take for instance what happens when you hear a presentation by someone who talks fast compare to one who talks moderately fast, you'd digest much more with the latter. Good delivery gives good connection with the audience, I was so engaged in your content that I just forgot about everything else. From my analysis, this could happen only because you not only paid attention to the story telling but also knowing your audience well. This shocks me awake. The fact that paying attention to your audience gives you a high engagement in return. I should've known this because I had the same unconscious impulse whenever I talk to my little brothers. Whenever I teach them about something, I would always use examples that are closest to them. This in turn makes it easier for them to digest the topic of discussion. I learned a lot from this video, not only about "The Sunk Cost Fallacy" but also in your delivery and meticulousness in making your content fit the audience. Thank you for Better Than Yesterday team for the video. Cheers.

[@tigerexo6577]

I can relate to this sunk cost fallacy in relationship. 😢I failed to see the future potential returns, but instead I was too fixated on my past effort in the relationship. That’s why I had a deep heartbreak when my ex broke up with me. I also felt exhausted and drained for trying to make it work, not knowing that letting go would be more peaceful for me. Relationship problem is definitely one of the things in our life that haunts us most.

When you gave the choice between Paris and Rome I thought to myself "I'm losing $3000 either way, might as well have the most fun I can in the process." Also, I'm 100% sure that this doesn't affect me. I can quit things at any moment. I played on this Minecraft server called Wynncraft until I had multiple very high level characters and then I just quit because I knew it was lost time and there's no point in wasting more time.

I dont think that time you enjoy spending is spent time

[@tf299]

If you think you are safe from sunk cost fallacy you are most likely mistaken. It is present everywhere: Have you bought a food product, you found out isn't the best, but still ate it? Have you started watching a show/ youtube video and wanted to watch it to the end even if you knew you wouldn't gain much from it, did you go to a theater/ movie and stayed even though you didn't enjoy it? Just because you sometimes avoid sunk cost fallacy, doesn't mean you are safe from it.

[@Andrew-zq3ip]

I'm the same way. My past is full of games, jobs, and relationships that stopped bringing joy and satisfaction and when I realize it, I drop them and search for what I really want.

Man, you are a moster brain! So good description! I had same situation as you described about relationships with the girl, at some point, it was hard for me to quit, because of invested time and money, but in the end of the day - this does not matter at all! The girl was feeling, that we must finish our relationship, and when it comes to that point - better to forget previous "investments", and focus on future possibities, evaluate your situation and quit right away, without making love to die out painfully slowly anyway. Better to finish it right away and go further in life, while the girl is still young.

The only issue I take with this is the movie analogy. Time is cheap, at least for me. Money is expensive (technically). Depending on the movie, if its dull, theres always a chance it could get better. It wouldn't be the first movie with a boring intro. If it's not the kind of thing i want to watch, IE dark themes or morally wrong, I would cut my losses and leave. I guess it comes down to context. Other than that, great video.

[@FuckYouWhosNext]

another great example is changing lanes while driving only to end up behind the slow car. How many times has that happened? every freaking day!!

[@MegaChriz]

I had that with a book: the first chapter was exciting, but chapter 2 - 5 weren’t that great: the main character annoyed me. After 2 years I gave the book another go and it turned out from then on the story grew to me. (Though it could be that while the story developed, the book focus shifted to an other character I could more easily identify with.)

[@jackvisn]

You stated "Time is cheap, at least for me". Time is finite. Imagine time as a bucket of coins, but unlike a piggy bank you can only take money out, you can never put any back. When asked if Bill Gates was prompt his secretary replied "Even Bill Gate with all his wealth cannot buy another second on earth" . Money can be made-lost-made again...Lather-Rinse-Repeat, but time is finite. If something (or someone) is wasting your time cut that most expensive cost. Please, you owe it to yourself...Time is finite!

[@costascostas1760]

@@jackvisn so true. Time is not cheap, it is actually invaluable. And you realise that once you never get a chance to tell someone how much you loved them, or you can never do something you could again. 2h wasted in a movie that is clearly not what you expected (and I think the video talks about clear cut cases) is spot on analogy. The only problem is "hope" that gets in the way.

[@imnotamechanic3491]

I think the example is supposed to be a film which is not the sort of film you would watch, I love films, but really dont like horror movies, so if I paid to go to the cinema and somehow accidentally went into a horror showing, then I would have lost the fee, 2 hours of my life, and scared myself shitless and probably triggered anxiety. But, as other commenters point out, time is valuable, whether or not you have money, why spend time doing something you dont enjoy when you could be doing something you do enjoy, as it demonstrated in the narrators example at the end, he could keep playing a game to develop a character he has spent years building up, but not enjoy doing it that much, or, he could do something for fun and/or productive, like making youtube videos for us. I think he made the right choice.

[@mikeyd7733]

I am struggling severely with a similar but different issue. I have made mistakes in my recent past that I cannot let go of... They randomly pop into my head and haunt me rendering me useless until the feelings pass. In a way to need to cut my emotions from the events, realizing I cannot change them; it's done. But I don't know how to do this and God if I did my life could be so much simpler again.

[@angelcalvoperez3834]

I may object: what if the movie has a slow tempo in the first 15 minutes but then after some master plot twist it becomes a great film? Then you will lose twice. Therefore I prefer another example: after finishing the main dish in a restaurant you see in the menu a dessert that looks amazing. You pay for it, you get it, and once you have started eating it you realise it does not taste good. Then you are completely sure you are not missing a thing because you can judge on the total of the dessert. In the other hand, evaluating a movie from its 15 first minutes may be a wrong judgement.

[@shawnchristophermalig4339]

I get where you are coming from. The sunk cost is a better judgment analysis if applied in economics such as the stock market. It is not recommended to consider sunk cost when facing complicated scenarios that involves different subjective (personal) factors. For example, it is better off if you part ways with your partner because of the unhealthy atmosphere which you might potentially endure for the last 40 years or so. We cannot just place the sunk cost in this scenario because the antithesis proposition of the sunk cost (40 years of unhealthy relationship) is also a fallacy called slippery slope - if added with context, it's a hasty generalization. My point here is the same with you. We can't just use this sunk cost concept in our daily lives. Married couples who are at the brink of parting ways, if they chose to still stay, research says that they tend last with a changed happy atmosphere. Imagine if you really did part ways with this person, you just doubled your losses.
