10 sats \ 9 replies \ @kr OP 1 Feb \ parent \ on: Incentivizing Bitcoiners To Do Chores bitcoin
we all have things that come naturally to us, and things that we need to push ourselves to keep up with.
what if this was an interface that motivated people to exercise by displaying coins on local trails and parks?
would you feel differently if the context was changed?

not sure, but I don't want to go to any "crowded parks" at any "specific time" or be trained to do something ( bad ) in the name of being incentivized. 👀 so I guess it depends on what we are talking, and the only sustainable incentivizes comes from inside.
And what if someone takes advantage of those incentivizes? And there is no free lunch in this world - how do these programs make money?

fair enough, it could turn into a pokémon go situation if everyone was chasing after the same sats in a particular location.

good question, i’m not sure. if you were running such a business, how would you try and make money with it?

Unfortunately those parties sub out the work so the data miners are the same businesses and they exchange data with each other. This goes back to Nielsen families.
I don't have the exact details but somewhere the model is there.
On No Agenda this subject is covered in the media deconstruction.

Again, I can't remember which episode by No Agenda covered this. Bingit.io is the NA search engine and all shows have a full transcript. I'll have to see if anyone else remembers this.
But yes it is a way to map people, purchasing power, habits and even locations. I'm sure all the ones are doing it but the silly dance tool allows the vendor, not the company, to mine all kinds of product and consumer data.
