@Sagittarius_Dreamer4 - welcome to the forum!
(Apologies if I missed any other new posters!)
@knuckleduster - very astute. Companies learned a lot from mobile games re. how to twist our innate desire for rewards/validation to their own monetary ends. Very similar to loading food with sugar, fat, and salt, not because it's necessary for the food to be palatable and worth eating, but because it makes it hard for us to stop eating. Using what's innate in us against us, to make more money, not for the majority of their employees, but for a few at the top and those who can afford to play the stockmarket. The former is nothing new, of course--'confidence men' have been doing similar things forever!--it's simply more science-based than ever before. But these observations I'm making are trending off-topic; sorry about that!
