And we wonder why people are so fucked up, people building apps just want you to be hopelessly addicted so they can make more money from ads. It’s hard to find design books on optimizing human well-being. Why does our relationship with computers have to be framed around getting users hooked on crack? There is something seriously wrong with our industry.
When i tried to google design books around this concept all i found were books and how to keep users addicted. Let’s not care about peoples well being, let’s just get them hooked 🙄
