Dark Patterns | The Psychology & Ethics of Big Tech

Описание: Unfortunately, many platforms that we use every day are intentionally designed to capture attention, manipulate behavior, and keep us coming back — because these systems have now evolved to exploit human psychology for personal gain.

In this video, a UX Ethicist and Wellness Coach breaks down:

~ What dark patterns are and how they show up in everyday apps
~ How algorithms reinforce confirmation bias
~ Why notifications and infinite scroll mirror gambling psychology
~ The cultural impact of abusive, manipulative design
~ Practical ways to reclaim your attention and agency

This isn’t about quitting social media entirely, honestly.
It’s about awareness and personal autonomy.

“The average human spends around 6 to 7 hours daily on screens, with figures varying slightly by region and age, but generally hovering near 7 hours for Americans and globally, while some reports suggest adults spend much longer (over 7 hours) and teens even more, with projections indicating people born today could spend over 20 years of their life attached to a screen”

If this resonated with you,
consider sharing it with someone who might get something out of it

Take care of yourself — and each other.
