De ce milioane de oameni comandă mâncare și haine online când știu că nu le vor primi niciodată?

A growing trend involves users ordering food and items online without expecting delivery, driven by dopamine release. Apps like FoodNeverComes and Dopamine Shop allow users to engage in a virtual shopping experience without real costs. This phenomenon, originating in South Korea, is spreading globally, offering a sense of reward through anticipation and choice. However, these free platforms often monetize through targeted advertising, using user data to display personalized ads. While seemingly harmless, this behavior can lead to real-world implications, as studies suggest a correlation between virtual engagement and actual gambling or shopping behaviors.
