Deep dives
Scarcity Loop and the Influence of Slot Machines
The podcast episode explains the concept of the scarcity loop, using the example of slot machines. The scarcity loop consists of three parts: opportunity, unpredictable rewards, and quick repeatability. This three-part behavior system pushes individuals into repetitive behaviors that may harm them in the long run. Slot machines stimulate this loop by providing the opportunity to win money, unpredictable rewards in terms of the amount won, and the ability to play again immediately. The scarcity loop is not only present in casinos but is also being used in other industries like social media, dating apps, and personal finance apps.
