How LinkedIn Uses Games to Drive Engagement

01

Scrolling through LinkedIn mindlessly. Billionaires becoming trillionaires, professionals dropping hot takes, everyone seemingly ahead. Classic LinkedIn spiral, feeling like I'm doing absolutely nothing with my life.

02

Just as I was about to close the app, a notification caught my eye. Hmm...Might be something important.

Loss Aversion
Avoiding a loss matters more than an equivalent gain. The streak isn't pulling you in with a reward, it's pushing you in with the fear of losing what you already have. 

3 streaks feels like something you own now. Letting it reset doesn't feel like missing out on a gain, it feels like losing something that's already yours.

Nope, not important at all. New game levels just dropped and apparently I have 3 streaks going. And now I can't just ignore it & let them go to zero.
