- Former Google manager Tristan Harris explains how platforms such as Facebook and Instagram use features (alerts, streaks, feeds) to manipulate users.
- With billions of users data, engineers are getting better at capturing attention.
- To combat this, Harris’ suggests more user self-awareness and adding features that promote real-life interactions (replacing comment sections with Lets Meet/Change My Mind buttons).
- Non-advertisement revenue models that don’t grow from users spending more time on platforms would also combat this problem.
