3/🧵Consumer nudges - some examples of techniques employed by corporations to engineer behavior in target populations:
1. Anchoring
Showing an expensive “premium” product first makes mid-tier products feel affordable.
2. Subscription retention
Friction design
“Cancel” buried behind multiple screens or confirmation steps exploits status quo bias.
3. Digital engagement
Variable rewards
Social media “likes” and notifications use dopamine-triggering intermittent reinforcement.
4. Privacy compliance (ironically)
Framing & overload
Privacy notices are long and confusing; most users click “Agree” by default.
5. Email & SMS text nudges to complete purchases, participate in promotions, or claim discounts#BehavioralEconomics #economy #compliance #nudge #nudging #SocialScience

Zum Wochenende: Wenn Technik dich erziehen will
Technik versucht uns zunehmend durch sogenanntes Nudging zu erziehen. Dies lässt sich oftmals nicht abschalten. Werden wir bevormundet? Oder hilft es uns, bessere Menschen zu werden?

You’re being #Nudged in a calculated manner. The scientists have developed a comms model using digital tools to ensure you make that doc’s appointment, or don’t miss that sale. I’ll be posting more about this irritating trend in future toots. Stay tuned. #Nudge #Nudges #BehaviorialEconomics #compliance #ComplianceEngineering
