Someone built a fitness app using the same psychological mechanics as gambling
This might work better than every normal fitness app ๐ญ๐ญ
You bet money on whether youโll hit 10,000 steps today
If you fail, you lose your money
If you succeed, you split the money from everyone who didnโt
So disciplined people literally profit off lazy people
Most fitness apps try motivating you with streaks and notifications
This one motivates you with financial fear
Imagine realizing at 11:52pm you still need 1,700 more steps or you lose $30
Entire friend groups would be outside walking laps around their neighborhood before midnight trying not to lose their steppa challenge
It sounds stupid but this would probably motivate people better than any other fitness product
Would you use this yourself?
