We love to think we’re immune to ads. We see a viral product and think, “Who actually falls for this?” while subconsciously adding it directly to our shopping carts.

We all know the frustration of buying a new shirt or household appliance, only for it to shrink, unravel, or completely stop working after just a handful of normal uses.

We used to think patience was a virtue, but the internet turned it into a massive business liability, training our brains to demand instant satisfaction at all costs.

Social media platforms are weaponizing our natural human impulse to correct people, transforming our collective frustration into free labor.
