i nipped this on the bud by not having money. Capitalists hate this one simple trick!

[@HistoricaHungarica]

Why would they need your handful of money if they can sell your data to other companies? Checkmate, atheists!

[@strandedinparadise8202]

genius!

[@kiyoponnn]

another way to nip it in the bud is by having too much money. unfortunately that only applies to a select few.

[@cvdvds]

Absolutely agree. Knew about most of these, but learned a few new ones. Great video and even better information. Thanks! I hope this serves to educate a lot of people!

[@guillermo5782]

When I was around 8 I was taught in primary school about the psychological mechanisms that adverts used to get our attention. How food is always fake to seem more tasteful, and so on. It was very interesting to learn as a child. This video should be exhibited in schools now.

[@keithtiger3947]

I disagree that government regulation won't be able to dampen the effects of psychological manipulation, dark patterns, etc. It is a systemic abuse across industries, and I think it is foolish to think that everyone will suddenly activate their frontal lobe and stop being exploited. There needs to be push back from the government and from consumer advocacy PACs in general.

[@itzhexen0]

You could start a frontal lobe exercise channel

@keithtiger3947 Cheers to this good man! 👍🏻 Thanks for bringing that up!

What do you want the government to-do? Force Amazon to check the discount check box by default??

it's not a moral stance, it's because of sanctions placed on Russia by the US and EU federal government(s)

[@ujinkv]

@creounity Because services like notion and others were forced to leave by the U.S. government in June's law. That's how gov uses its ability to regulate, and it shows gov's bias to other countries very clearly.

Regarding notion and the Ikea effect, I would say it's not just a psychology trick, when you have a specific need, tailoring your tools around it can have added value

I reached 250 thousand dollars invested, it took me 2 years, last month I received 30 thousand only in dividends. Only with believers. This month it will be 40,000 and so on, in the next few years it will be 500 thousand in the year alone in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend yields. What took me 2 years to invest, I will have in 1 Year

[@ZuletLeve]

I am 52 years old. I reached my first 100 thousand dollars in just 3 months. I started with 20k investing in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income. My medium-term goal is to reach one million dollars before I turn 55.

[@MattTrudeau-zv8wx]

Cryptocurrency investments pay a higher percentage return than any other investment. Mainly Bitcoin ETFs, which mostly pay out every week

[@AndrewScott-p1t]

This year I reached 100 thousand invested in Bitcoin ETFs and other dividend income, it was exactly 1 year and 4 months, I already accelerated to reach 200 thousand, I think I will reach the goal sooner

[@ThandlSebe]

How did you achieve this in a short period of time?

[@ThandlSebe]

I would appreciate some advice please A. I am new to investing in stocks/cryptocurrencies. Can you guide me how to do this?

I like the part where he told you how to outsmart it

[@tubester358]

You outsmart the magician by knowing the trick, you can just hit the back button or x button then, or pay for it if it's actually valuable to you. I guess he only vaguely suggested it.

[@ErikBrainOS]

"How to use technology, instead of being used by technology..." what a great sentence, liked it! I'm creating content myself about these subjects, you've made it rethink the cognitive load.

[@tOndO.keyboard]

Great video! The mere fact that you are so transparent about the psychology tricks you use yourself is so wholesome. I do not completely agree with you though: Europe is already pushing for users rights on many different fronts and I think that having something like a list of psychological principle adopted by each service as you did or similar to the ingredients list foods are already obliged to show, could already be something that would help get the conversation started and something quite feasible. Anyhow, it's years I'm thinking about such themes: I also thought to create a podcast about this kind of stuff with a friend; we still have a Trello board called "Defense Against the Dark Arts". A link to this video is definitely going into that Trello board.

[@mindthetimeless8630]

I love videos like this. I think it's the best option currently for an individual to have a healthy relationship with technology and the tech side of society. Learn the tricks and how they influence you and then make your own decisions about use with full knowledge of the psychology they are using and yourself.

[@blackstone12]

a random question Enrico, what is the microphone you are using? It sounds really good

[@robezy0]

What this video fails to mention is that knowing these effects and fallacies doesn't actually help you from falling for them that much. This is called the 'bias-bias' which is the belief that knowing of the bias makes you immune to it (there'sa reason why self-proclaimed 'unbiased' people are usually the biggest nut jobs of them all). But the truth is that we're making most of our decisions unconsciously and these companies wouldn't make this egregious amount of money if a 10 minute video was all it took to uncover their marketing strategies.

[@notaspectator]

My friend, we are all guilty of these tactics. For example, am I wrong to say that the way you design videos, you produce them, there are structures to it (sometimes not)? Often learned over the years. People are sharing these blueprints and not so innovating and sometimes it makes sense. At minute 6ish in this video, you placed your sponsor. Was it you choosing the time or the client said (middle please or must) ? All are various assumptions but at minimum, you know some kind of 40% of people that will watch to more than half, etc. God damn numbers without intention are whats wrong. not the study of UX and yes to manipulation with greed and predatory approach.

Significant flaw in this video @enricotartarotti your not considering and that is neuro- diversity plus people that are neuro-divergent like me!!! The elements of neuro-diversity that affect me is sensory and language based due to be having dyslexia and autism. I don't have care, I'm used to the noise, and if I don't feel comfortable or cannot filter it out, I avoid it. I literally think differently from the 70-75% people on planet Earth that are neuro-typical in brain patterns. So you yeah, single scroll pages., flashy animations, ads everywhere on a 2D screen; I either filter them out consciously or choose to avoid and basically define, I don't want that!!! Like all social media is a based on games theory, like all social interactions, and I wonder, will this get a reply lost in the effer

[@kasim7929]

Come on, this is basic elements of capitalism aka the digital sales man. Even the best buisness need them to get some extra customers. Even high grade company like apple use those psychological principles. Iconic how the video says "internet wants your money" then promotes a software that'll help you with some "time and productivity" management lol. Also, the ltv doesn't mean much cause it's usually calculated on a small sample of group.
