The colour red overrides all the other colours. If you have a blue, green or red colour, red is the one that jumps out. We are wired to pay attention to things that jump out.
Ever wonder why those little red bubbles on your phone are so hard to ignore? In this eye-opening episode of 'SocialMediaBreakup', Johan dives deep into the sneaky tactics tech companies use to keep us hooked. Those red notification bubbles aren't just annoying—they're designed to grab your attention and keep you glued to your screen. Johan explains the psychology behind this, comparing it to the flashy lights and sounds of slot machines that lure people into risky behavior.
It's all about monetizing our attention, and the color red plays a huge role in that. But don’t worry, Johan isn’t just here to scare you. He offers practical tips to help you regain control, like disabling those pesky notification badges and using apps to track your phone usage. This episode is perfect for anyone tired of feeling like a slave to their phone.
Tune in and learn how to break free from the grip of red notifications and take back your time and focus.
