The amount of friction involved in cancelling subscriptions coupled with how frictionless it is to spend money and even go into debt with “buy now, pay later” products makes me so angry 😡

This is why the work @cre8wconscience is doing is so important

The amount of brainwashing needed to think the richest guy on earth owning Twitter, the second richest guy owning the Washington post, and the fifth richest guy owning Facebook and Instagram could possibly be a good thing is immense.

Great talk about create with consciousness by @cre8wconscience and how we can give control back to our audiences. Made me think of #a11yTO talk by @DavidOfYork about anxiety inducing patterns on the web. Let’s build for peoples health not just for their engagement.

@cre8wconscience @bsonefeld Demonstrated some very deep insight about how we can connect and build healthier technology. #rgdDT

"Thinking about my games in my daughter's hands, I had to confront what these products really were and what they could do."

This is why it's so crucial to have diverse voices in product development. Ask yourselves the hard question: Do I want to live in the world I'm designing?

Classic “I didn’t care about sexism until I had a daughter” energy, except from a designer of habit-forming games https://t.co/xigJJOHAC9

Confirm shaming along with a full-page takeover disrupts user's workflow, with the selfish purpose of increasing conversion. Do better, @hootsuite .

TikTok is testing a feature that involves influencers engaging with a brand seemingly advertising it, but where instead of money, they receive ‘free views’. What a great example of how platforms are not mere intermediaries of native ads, but they design engagement.

You asked (weirdos), so here it is. Apollo’s iOS 16 update will track the total distance you’ve scrolled in the app. It'll sync/stay up to date between your iCloud devices, and you can even see it as a lock screen widget and set distance goals like an athlete. 🏃

"From a designer’s perspective, I thought: how can we redesign the way that we work and frame our problems to better consider unexpected consequences? How can we center, protect, and champion marginalized communities while we’re working on our products?" - @katherinemzhou

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

🧠Forgetting words, woolly thinking and a poor attention span are becoming increasingly common, but what’s behind it?

@Airbnb exploits this automatic behavior by employing a deceptive design (@darkpatterns) that tricks users into engaging with a nonexistent notification in order to incentivize account sign ups and profits.

[Consumer Grassroots @Consumers_Kenya]

One of the barriers preventing consumers from making autonomous & well-informed purchasing decisions is dark patterns which, from a layman’s perspective, refer to false and misleading marketing through omission or manipulation of information. @CAK_Kenya https://t.co/CKmW4EQ6No

Let’s discuss the ways in which technology controls our attention 🧵

[Create with conscience @cre8wconscience]

"These endogenously driven drifts of attention might arise from a desire for more immediate gratification when ongoing goal-directed activities are not perceived as rewarding."
