- Comment on McDonald’s CEO is grappling with a ‘two-tier economy’ as he slashes prices on value meals—and signals backing for a minimum wage increase 1 week ago:
It just isn’t gamification to distribute coupons digitally though. That isn’t what gamification is.
I’m not trying to suggest that distributing the coupons digitally is the gamification, I’m arguing that the shift to app only coupons and ‘rewards’ and ‘app exclusive deals’ overall is a form of gamification.
You’re boasting about how you min-maxxed their system, you’re gonna tell me that they didn’t find a way to lure you in with a bit of dopamine when you think you’ve found a hack?
I remember a couple years back the limit to app coupons was once per day and they’ve changed it to 15 minutes. All of these coupon restrictions are arbitrary, they control the whole system.
- 20% off $20
- Free X after Y team won
- Tuesday only deal, free fries friday
A set of rules that can be applied. takes advantage of human desire to optimize. sounds like gamification to me

You’re describing an elaborate maneuver to get a meal at the price it used to be without “app exclusive deals” etc. The turn to app-ification is shit.
McDonald’s has traded “cheap” and “convenient” for gamification. They’re not the only ones, either

on the whole
is the key words here
individually the door has that 1:2 chance, but the scenario has more context and information and thus different odds. Choosing scenario B over scenario A is a better wager
- Comment on What are the most mindblowing fact in mathematics? 2 years ago:
I find the easiest way to understand Monty Hall is to think of it in a meta way: Situation A - A person picks one of three doors, 1 n 3 chance of success. Situation B - A person picks one of two doors, 1 in 2 chance of success. If you were an observer of these two situations (not the person choosing doors) and you were gonna bet on which situation will more often succeed, clearly the second choice.
