1984 the movie, for anyone that has never seen it 😉

So I was wondering how people get hooked on certain behaviours including online behaviours. My conclusion was that it is because of intermittant reinforcement which is very addictive. Intermittent reinforcement is a schedule of rewards for certain behaviors or responses but without any predictable pattern. In other words, the reward comes periodically, not every time it’s performed. Casino's are using this. Porn sites are using this. Shopping sites are using this. Social media platforms are using this. If You know for sure You get pleasure or positive feedback every time You spin the wheel, post something or watch any porn video, it will get boring really fast. If You never get any pleasure or positive feedback You won't go back doing that either. If You get positive feedback or pleasure only 1 in 6 times, it's way more addictive. Once in a while that dopamine hit, the really good feeling. It will make You come back for that again and again. What this leads to is conditioning, You are now conditioned to do this again to get this feeling good hit. I'd like to encourage You, with the above in mind, to be aware of all this. Cheers! 😉

In case this isn't clear for everyone. The difference between currency (USD) and money (Bitcoin) 😉:
