Hey friends!! Week 3 is in the books. Things are starting to look up over here. In this video I talk about that, and how I realized my relationship to that other app was...problematic.
The reason is that TikTok is using a strategy that is commonplace in casinos. The concept of intermittent reinforcement is where individuals persist in the behaviour despite the unpredictable nature of the rewards.

I recognize that if I'm trying to give up gambling, which operates under the concept of intermittent reinforcement, then I must give up the thing that utilizes the same method. Being on that app was causing me to be addicted to my phone. It was causing me to ignore responsibilities. It was causing me to be irritable and unpleasant.
