Hearted Youtube comments on Pete Judo (@PeteJudo1) channel.

  1. how does it fit with his preconcives ideas? He states that he thought positively of it before, and this made him reconsider.

  2. I couldn't finish Nudge as I found it got a bit boring as it went on. I finished listening to Evolutionary Ideas a few days ago. I really enjoyed that so thanks for the recommendation šŸ‘

  3. Really insightful video! Makes me more aware about the strategies companies employ to control consumerā€™s behaviour. Thank you, Pete!

  4. okay, so just finished watching the video. just wanna say this video is a breath of fresh air! Open science is the way forward, and your explanation was so clear and engaging. Thanks for shedding light on such a important topic! šŸ™Œ

  5. I don't think he's claiming that the results in the study were false, just that they're not relevant anymore and therefore should stop being recommended so vehemently..

  6. Its so addictive even youtube is doing it, and it works, I'll check out one short that catches my eye while scrolling normal videos then realize half an hour later that I've been mindlessly swiping through youtube shorts. And here's another one, on mobile, when the app has been fully closed and you open it again, it starts you on the shorts tab to get that same instant reward that tik tok does.

  7. So the problem isn't that the fine doesn't work, but that the fine is too small to be impactful. It's obvious that some financial incentives don't work or even backfire. What matters is that the fine must have an impact on our happiness. In order to make all the parents show up in time, the fine cannot be $25 or perhaps even $100, instead it has to be adjusted for income and be raised to a shockingly large amount. For parents making $5000 a month, it would have to be upwards of $1000. Now watch them jump to pick up their kids every single time. Another system would be to progressively raise the amount after every offense. You start with a moderate $25 fine, but the next time it's $100, then $300, then $1000. You can keep adjusting the system in various ways to make it feasible in the long run. In the last example you can return from a large fine to a smaller fine after x amount of days. The downside is that this can introduce more paperwork, but that should be well compensated by reduced paperwork from far fewer parents paying any fines.

  8. Would love to be a part of a book club ... where we connect every couple of week and discuss the ideas and key takeaways from the books.

  9. You deserve more subscribers.

  10. Amazing recommendations. Iā€™ve been looking for recommendations on psychological books, and this is just what I needed. I truly appreciate.

  11. 1) Car on maps makes wait alot easy 2) 3 options of tip actually urge people to take the middle one which is default behavior and deemed safest 3) Removal of pain of payment by adding cashless methods 4) Reducing downtime or increasing productive time of captians help them make more money and keep them engagrd 5) Keeping captians to continue their "shift" by telling them they would lose a probable gain and bringing them into expectency zone....

  12. My fiance has this condition and you've described it better than I've seen anyone else online describe it.

  13. Hope everybody around you is safe and that it wasn't because of someone getting hurt that you are making this decision. Good call though! Cheers

  14. Thanks Pete, I read TFAS last year. I struggled to finish the book for pretty much the same reasons you mention. Thought it was just me so I kept pushing because in my view if I can't get through this, BE is not for me.. I did finish it and the book is insightful. I appreciated how it lays out the shortcomings of utility theory/ but struggled with the many ideas including priming being so powerful. Good to know that the evidence base has changed since then, keep up your very informative work!

  15. Just started my behavioral economics degree and your videos really help me out!

  16. I love this channel just for following theae cases. Man you deserve all the money in the world for the job you're doing.ā¤

  17. While I don't doubt Pete's analysis, I have already read atomic habits and don't feel the need for another habit based book, certainly a good read if I want to learn more on habits

  18. Interesting review; I'm definitely going to buy Good Habits, Bad Habits now. I do think that something can be a useful suggestion and yet not backed by any (existing) research. I'm not implying this is at odds with what you're saying (I don't know if you disagree with that statement or not), but I think it's a useful addendum. My prior of "how likely I think a technique is going to be successful" is definitely going to be higher for something that's got decent, replicated research around it. But plenty of useful knowledge in the world just doesn't have any rigorous science around it. This is the case for most practical endeavours, where in everything from sales to management consulting to cooking to building have frameworks and methods that aren't explicitly science based, but which have some evidence for effectiveness. (And plenty of useless knowledge does have apparently rigorous but actually false research behind it, cf lots of Thinking Fast and Slow). In practice, I'd treat some advice like eg treating something as an "I get to" rather than "I have to" as just one of a number of plausible things I can try. Indeed, ultimately, with all self help, it's about just trying things and getting feedback. Conclusions based on research are ultimately about populations, not individuals, and your mileage may vary even with research-backed recommendations.

  20. I dont know where to say something about this but tik tok has ruined my attention span, took about a month of a dopamine detox to get back to normal. But whats really scaring me is how good youtubes algorithm is getting with youtube shorts. Youtube is also making sure short is the first thing i see when i go on the app, they obviously do this because its far more addictive then 15 min videos. I just want people to open there eyes and take a stand against big tech. They are engineering there apps to be super addictive so we can watch adds. Im just a kid, a kid who is very worried about the future of his generation.

  21. I like how you tried to explain it under 7 minutes, still I don't think a TikToker could follow for that long

  22. It's a legal addictive drug, a quick fix. I downloaded it about a year ago, out of curiosity, after hearing so much about it during lockdown 2020. Plus I was getting bored with Instagram. I am my disabled husbandā€™s caregiver. When I would be mentally stressed and bored, Iā€™d open TikTok, a couple of hours later, Iā€™m still on TikTok and havenā€™t accomplished anything. And my already numb brain felt the same, if not worse. Iā€™d ask myself, what have I learned or taken away from this? Absolutely nothing. I still scroll, but only for a few minutes a day and have started watching videos here on YouTube that I can actually learn something from. I havenā€™t felt as ā€œnumbā€, have more energy, mentally and physically, compared to before. I was more addicted to TikTok compared to nicotine or sugar.

  23. Here's some more: 1. Sending emails with special offers to users 2. Using surge pricing when they need more drivers in an area 3. Paying drivers fast and reliably compared to competitors 4. Integrating bike hire and food delivery so the app becomes one stop shop for all these things. Associating the brand with tasty food and positive experiences. 5. By rating drivers on different experiences, it encourages drivers to think how they can make their experience with rider better. Eg phone chargers and water. That makes rider experience better and more likely to use it again. However, despite all this, I get the feeling that the culture at Uber is v aggressive and they make drivers work harder for less. They don't treat them like humans as far as I can see. I don't know - I rarely use the app these days. Let's see what happens. Great video! - I'm new to BE and seeing this as a nice game to learn more about how the big companies nudge our behaviour, so I can be more in control rather than them. šŸ™šŸ½

  24. Ā @PeteJudo1Ā  Thanks for elaborating further on what the study found!

  25. Megastudies should be secure enough even against Gino type of data manipulations.

  26. Love your videos man! <3

  27. Now even youtube is trying to copy tik tok with it's short videos feature
    12
  28. The short term gratification made watching YouTube videos harder to watch for me. Iā€™m so used to getting that dopamine spike or peak of interest in 30 seconds. I deleted it today and could tell my head was feeling different not getting rewarded constantly.

  29. I think you should respond to some of the comments below. As it seems, you are one of the few who is convinced by her defense. It would be very interesting to get your response to some of the better comments below your video. (I can't remember if you said that you read or never read your comments, so here is my attempt at getting a response)

  30. Fabulous is the most cumbersome app I've ever used and I wish I could get my money back.

  31. To be honest I don't care if what he says is right or not, if it works for me it works. Kind of like meditation, there wasn't enough evidence to prove it worked and people still did it and it worked for them. I just do what works for me the best. Anyways this was very informative, I think improvement pill just made this whole thing and without any research just made this shit up himself because the whole thing worked for him. Some of his other videos are really good. Edit: nevermind, I'm just being arrogant you right.

  32. Honestly was a little turned off when I read the title, as it seems to come off as a little combative; and especially when the subject is a channel as beloved and well-researched as Kurzgesagt, I was very tempted to just ignore the video as click-bait. I'm glad that I went through and watched anyways, as your commentary and additional information simply broadened my understanding of the topic and made me want to come back for more of your insights on topics such as these. You just earned another subscriber, and I'm hoping that my like and comment will get your content recommended to the algorithm.

  33. Omg pete! Thanks for this video, this is what I'm waiting for. Proud of you finally collabs with prof katy milkman!

  34. Here's another idea for a video i think would be super useful if you did: many people talk about the replication crisis in Psychology and Behavioural Science, it's honestly almost scary for me how many studies (like even the Marshmallow test) seem to get disproven by other scientists. So, i thought it would be cool if you made a video on some of your favourite cornerstones of Behavioral Science that got beautifully corroborated in spite of many falsification attempts. Or, just a video wholly devoted to the replication crisis itself.Ā  Also: I'd love to join the book club too!

  35. Dude.......there's no good psychology channel that makes interesting contents like yours. Please keep giving us exciting contents from the world of psychology so that we could rethink, relearn and reverse our thoughts, actions etc. This channel has huge potential. I wish you all the best.
    11
  36. well reasoned. Even handed. I'm sure everyone will hate it. Keep it up.

  37. I read it in german and actually found it quite interesting and recommended it to a friend. Maybe the translated version is less boring. The content itself is fascinating in my opinion, too bad that there is a lot of misinformation in that book. Can't recommend it anymore...

  38. I KNEW it! I knew I would never be able to complete , so I just skipped the first part and read the Heuristics and behavioral econ part. Thanks Pete Judo , this video saved me guilt of not having completed the book

  39. Love your videos! Do you mind making a video about the book ā€œAtomic Habitsā€? Would love to see you do a FACT CHECK on different books! Anyways, great video! Very informative and mind-opening. :)

  40. There's no way you watched the whole video, right? His conclusion is that UBI failed in this study. But the lesson he draws is still pro-UBI which is that we need to try a different method of UBI (lump sum UBI), not that we should discard it.

  41. Videos are Class mate, keep going youā€™re the next big thing!

  42. One thing you discover, when you learn how to meditate, is that boredom is just, an inability to pay attention to anything. And once you learn to pay attention to anything, even something as seemingly boring as your breath. It suddenly becomes incredibly interesting. So focused attention is intrinsically pleasurable, but boredom is the state of scattered attention looking for something worth paying attention to. Just to take this example of one interesting insight you get, when you learn to meditate. It's incredible powerful to cut through the illusion of boredom, i mean, to realise that boredom is not something. You can become interested in the feeling of boredom, and the moment you do, it bites it's own tail and disappears. There is no such thing as boredom, when you're paying close attention to your experience.

  43. Wow super interesting! Itā€™s so difficult finding a balance between our natural desire for certainty/comfort that comes with having a routine and then also knowing when itā€™s time to switch something up and make things feel a bit more exciting. Awesome video

  44. I love when youtubers say "the link is in the description" and there is no link in the description :D

  45. Subbed from Reddit. Excited to experience your insights, very cool.

  46. Great video man. I just found your channel through reddit, I really like smaller channels like this, Digital marketers wet dream I must say. Keep up the great work!

  47. Can you talk about the recent plagiarism accusation of hardvard Gay. It is difficult to follow that for a normal person.

  48. Attending the Behavioural and Economic Science program at Warwick this year and I am so excited to come across your page Pete! Also very happy that I am not the only one who struggles to read the book- three times so far!

  49. Tiktok ruined my grades I used to be fine addicted to my phone but could stop and focus and study. Now it s impossible It s so addictive I can t stop. I study for 5 minutes then go back to tiktok. I m almost failing all my classes. I just wanna stop phone addiction in general

  50. One of the things that Chris Voss from Black Swan Groups mentions in his book is about the yes trap. In the second principal of commitment/consistency mentions that "you get them to say yes for a smaller ask and then they'll automatically have the urge to say yes to the bigger ask". Wanted to know what are your thoughts on that. Cause the "Yes" trap feels real when I speak to customers and when I ask them a question which if answered yes will get them into a trap they usually don't respond.
