I really, really wish that tech people would stop "hacking psychology" for their products. They are not "hacking" people - this is not coding. "Hacking" people means they are engaged in psychological manipulation and behavior modification, probably without seeking consent.https://twitter.com/UXBooth/status/1021770484172705792 …

This is not a good example. You’re saying that good design is bad for people. The people making the apps don’t control your devices internet connection. They can’t actually make things go faster... so what you are asking for is a lot of white screens or spinning balls.

If you want good examples google the term “dark patterns” where psychology is being “hacked” for very bad reasons (to trick you into agreeing to stuff usually).

Thank you for citing examples of persuasive design and visual design and emotions - there are many innocuous examples of good design leveraging psychological principles.
