#nudgetheory — Public Fediverse posts

Tired of being constantly ‘nudged’? I know I am. Text, email, robocall reminders & notifications - from everyone all the time. Blame #BehavioralEconomics. It’s all about compliance engineering. Read the Wikipedia note:

“The first formulation of the term nudge and associated principles was developed in cybernetics by James Wilk before 1995 and described by Brunel University academic D. J. Stewart as "the art of the nudge". It also drew on methodological influences from clinical psychotherapy tracing back to Gregory Bateson... In this variant, a nudge is a microtargeted design geared toward a specific group of people, irrespective of the scale of intended intervention. In 2008, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein's book Nudge: Improving Decisions About Health, Wealth, and Happiness brought nudge theory to prominence. The authors refer to the influencing of behaviour without coercion as libertarian paternalism and the influencers as choice architects.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nudge_theory?wprov=sfti1 #nudge #NudgeTheory #compliance

Is your financial knowledge stuck in "scrolling mode"? 🧠💸

Reading about investing is great, but if those ideas don't leave your screen, they’re just financial entertainment. To build real wealth, you need to move from theory to execution.

Don't just be a consumer—be an architect of your own success.

But... do a search on Google, Bing or DuckDuckGo (I use the Duck most days)...

...You still won't find it directly...

Instead you will find a number of places where the direct link to it has been shared.

So it exists. You can get it and, with a medium level of effort, install and reset it as the default Image Viewer in Windows.

But only if you have the direct link to the App in the Microsoft Store.

This a perfect application of #NudgeTheory for evil intent.

Or... #EvilNudge

Going to try a new Hashtag and see if it gains any traction:

#EvilNudge

Something I have increasingly seen with technology platforms (and loosely tied to the culture of #Enshitification) are moves by the enterprises behind these platforms to use #NudgeTheory for purposes that are for the sole benefit of themselves and not for the customers that patronize them.

We see it every day. The Amazon constant #EvilNudge to auto-enroll in Prime, The silent Opt-Out integration of products and services.

Nudge Theory is when you attempt to change someone's behavior by pushing them in certain directions through subtle hints. #nudgetheory #behavior #change #subtle #nudge #push

@marcoarment If having sewerage isn't enough incentive on its own, is there a way that people still using septic tanks could be officially designated as “Hillbillies”?
