There is a large amount of social engineering exploitation to UX and it comes down to how can I exploit the person viewing the content. The main question to UX design is how can I control the user to tap what I want? And it's all very simple.
The main exploit you want is a reaction. Next time your commuting on public transport if you spot someone looking at social media on their phone watch their body language. As they scroll the endless pages of guff, you can start to learn their body language and how they react. With this you can start to psychoanalyze the user reactions and you can then use this to trigger a person to flip in to a emotional state; allowing you to socially engineer the person especially within a UX model. Media News does this all the time; you can easily cripple a person with just two sentences of text and a picture. It's why a good troll is so effective.
If you spark a response, you've got their attention as exactly the downvote I received is. Another example of a human exploit in the world we live in. With that downvote it can flip the persons emotional state where the feeling is of "oh,no" because my "value of 69" is now "68". A pointless number, an pathos exploit which can be manipulated by bots.
