IS BIG TECH MANIPULATING ME? [EPISODE 204]
Description
In this episode, I talk about manipulation and focus on how you are manipulated at work, through rewards programs, and most insidiously through apps that are designed to manipulate you.
I draw heavily on an article: How ‘Gamification’ of everything is manipulating you by Stephen Johnson.
https://lifehacker.com/how-gamification-of-everything-is-manipulating-you-and-1848352808
I add my own commentary and perspective to the article.
I promise you this—once you see what is happening, you will see it everywhere. You are being manipulated.
