And constantly exercised. It's easy to fall into the trap of caring about stuff you shouldn't, because you only realize when you've already been doing it for a while (and learned that it's actually meaningless)
Oh man, I also might have had and don't care. It's massive distraction, then you have to click on them and do some other thing with them, and maybe if you sell them people buy them and you get a tiny amount of money for your next purchase? I don't know how it works, it's pointless, I have no time to waste on such gamification bs.
He’s absolutely right. It might sound like he’s being dramatic. He’s not. Some of the Stanford professors who taught big tech how to do it wrote to books on it. Hooked - how to make habit forming products And Indestractible - how to survive the madness they unleashed on the world
oh that's cool, you become a research professor to make the world a better place and end up turning everyone's life into misery and pain to make some social media tycoon rich
@@Shofixi Does the company just do some tri yearly office swap, or is the implication that Blow just moves into peoples offices and takes over their computers occasionally? Or why does every company computer get Blow's Steam account installed on it?

The statistical learning that happens in some platforms is nauseating. You are shown a picture of hungry kids in Africa to ask for money, then a few days later they offer psychological therapy online. All on their ads platform which doesn't seem to be detected by AdBlock Plus.
This reminds me of when I deleted or ''permanently deactivated'' my facebook account, clicked ''yes I'm absolutely sure'', then continue to get facebook notifications from ''close friends'' who I've never associated with outside of work and have never tagged as such, and everything else facebook related. Apparently if I revisit facebook at some point within the 30 days, my account gets automatically reactivated? Yessssss - force feed me content, tell me what to do and when to do it, I desire to define myself by the notifications being pushed to me !!!
@@botbeamer I've looked into that before and it doesn't really seem worth it for my actual phone. Might just get a dumbphone honestly, but I've been saying that for years.
If you get three new computers a year - that's clearly a "you" problem at this point… With the current rate of silicon transistor count growth, a programmer can very easily live off one computer for a decade without ever noticing a single hitch.
@@La0bouchere Then you're in no position to be an arbiter on this topic. Not everything one does needs to be preached out to an audience as a cult regiment.
