+ techniques that derive from behavioral and brain
research</a>:</p>
+
+ <dl class="compact"><dt>The Skinner Box</dt>
+ <dd>An environment in which the user is trained
+ to “push the lever“, i.e. do a certain action over and
+ over again in order to get a reward. This is also known as
+ “grinding.”</dd>
+
+ <dt>Virtual food pellets</dt>
+ <dd>Items that have nothing to do with the game itself, but are
+ valuable to gamers because of the work required to obtain them
+ (e.g., EverQuest); some people will end up collecting them for the
+ sake of collecting.</dd>
+
+ <dt>Random rewards</dt>
+ <dd>They turn the game into the equivalent of a slot machine (e.g.,
+ World of Warcraft, ZT Online).</dd>
+
+ <dt>Elaborate cycles</dt>
+ <dd>Gamers' behavior can be “shaped” by making cycles
+ (progress from one level to the next) slower and slower, designing
+ complex tasks that are difficult to get out of (e.g. World of
+ Warcraft), or conversely dividing them up in small chunks to avoid
+ frustration (e.g., New Super Mario Bros.Wii).</dd>
+
+ <dt>Decay of game assets</dt>
+ <dd>This makes it necessary for a gamer to keep playing, without
+ vacations, simply to avoid losing what they have earned so far
+ (e.g., Farmville, Ultima Online, Animal Crossing).</dd>
+ </dl>
+
+ <p>Games such as World of Warcraft, which are considered very addictive,
+ use several of these techniques.</p>
+
+ <p>There are even more elaborate ways to get users addicted to a
game.</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>“Loot boxes” are a direct
+ application of the random reward mechanism, and their addictiveness
+ is enhanced by seductive animation. They are <a
+
href="https://www.pcgamer.com/behind-the-addictive-psychology-and-seductive-art-of-loot-boxes/">
+ akin to gambling</a>.</li>
+
+ <li id="gacha"><a
+
href="https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Gacha_game"><i>Gacha</i></a>
systems,
+ widely used by Japanese games since 2010, may be considered the
+ ancestors of loot boxes. A <i>gacha</i> is the virtual
equivalent of
+ a capsule-toy vending machine. Its addictiveness is based on random
+ rewards, and also on the basic instinct of people to collect
items.</li>
+
+ <li>The developers of gratis
+ mobile games apply the techniques described above to <a
+ href="https://www.psychguides.com/interact/the-psychology-of-freemium/">
+ turn their products into slot machines</a>. This is clearly
+ described in an infographic. The revenue generated by these games
+ is directly related to the number of strongly addicted gamers
+ (called “whales”) and to the amount of money they are
+ willing to spend. Thus developers carefully study the behavior of
+ millions of users to increase the addictiveness of their games.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p><small>(Unfortunately, the last two articles use
“free” to
+ mean “zero price.” We recommend saying “gratis”
+ instead.)</small></p>
+
+ <p>However, the addictiveness of a game is
+ only one of the determinants of addiction. Equally important are the
+ psychological make-up and life circumstances of the gamer. Gaming
+ addiction, like other addictions, is a form of mental escape from an
+ unrewarding life. The sad truth is that, in the long run, it leads
+ to an even worse life.</p>

+<h4 id="gambling">Online gambling</h4>
+
+ <p id="M201902220">Online gambling services (and their nonfree
+ client programs) are <a
+
href="https://www.theguardian.com/society/2019/feb/22/gambling-apps-more-dangerous-than-fobts-study-finds">
+ designed to be addictive</a>, much like on-line games. They achieve
+ this with various different malfunctionalities, often in
combination.</p>
+
+ <p>Many of these malfunctionalities are implemented by the server and
+ the client program together. In some cases, there is no honest way that
+ the client program could counteract the nastiness—for instance,
+ when the server manipulates amounts won in order to get the user
+ addicted, the only way the client program could block that is to pretend
+ the win did not happen. But users would not want that
modification.</p>
+
+ <p>However, modification of the client program could cover up some
+ addictive behaviors without losing the user anything.</p>
+
+<h4 id="social-networks">Social networks</h4>
+
+ <p>The major social networks are continuously optimizing their design
to <a
+
href="https://medium.com/thrive-global/how-technology-hijacks-peoples-minds-from-a-magician-and-google-s-design-ethicist-56d62ef5edf3">
+ grab users' attention</a> by taking advantage of the psychological
+ vulnerabilities described above, eventually leading some to addiction.
+ For these people, a phone becomes the equivalent of a slot machine.
+ Many of the addictive features (menu, “likes,” photo tagging,
+ autoplay, etc.) are built into the client software, and can't be
+ removed because the software is proprietary.</p>
+
+ <p id="M201803210">Thus, some social networking apps <a
+ href="https://www.jeffbullas.com/facebook-creates-addiction/">try to
+ merge into your daily
+ routine</a> by exploiting social pressure and your natural desire for
+ socialization, converting habitual gestures into thorough addiction. As
+ already noted for games, addictiveness is essentially based on random
+ rewards. In the present case, the rewards are messages from friends
+ and followers, “likes,” news, interesting videos, etc. The
+ software is designed to trigger users' desire for these rewards,
+ and keep this desire alive as long as possible.</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>By default, notifications are sent every time a new item comes
+ in, instead of, say, once a day. They are associated with sounds or
+ vibrations which make them even more compelling. (Remember Pavlov's
+ experiments with rats.) These triggers are often opt-out, and many
+ users don't try to turn them off. They are most effective when the
+ app is installed on a mobile device which is always on and never
+ leaves the user. As a side effect, they may contribute to the <a
+
href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/reading-between-the-headlines/201307/smartphone-addiction">
+ addictiveness of “smart” phones</a>.</li>
+
+ <li>Users are served selected material
+ that is likely to interest them, based on <a
+
href="https://theconversation.com/facebook-is-killing-democracy-with-its-personality-profiling-data-93611">
+ profiling</a>. (This paves the way to <a
+
href="/proprietary/proprietary-manipulation.html">manipulation</a>,
+ by the way.)</li>
+
+ <li>The app interface is designed to make users
+ stay on the site as long as possible, using <a
+
href="https://uxplanet.org/ux-infinite-scrolling-vs-pagination-1030d29376f1">
+ infinite scrolling</a> for example.</li>
+
+ <li>The company that owns the social network tries
+ to cover users' needs as extensively as possible, by <a
+
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitions_by_Facebook">
+ acquiring other companies</a> if needed. Once users
+ have concentrated most of their online activities and
+ a lot of their personal data on a single platform (or
+ a set of platforms that belong to the same group), they find it <a
+
href="https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/jan/01/antisocial-media-why-decided-cut-back-facebook-instagram">
+ almost impossible to leave</a>. And even if they wanted to, they
+ would have a hard time digging out the relevant options, and the
+ app would aggressively nag them to stay.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>A good way to minimize the risk of addiction, short of avoiding
+ social media altogether, is to turn off notifications and leave as
+ little as possible of your own data on the platform.</p>
