I don’t know why you’re being downvoted because that’s exactly what they’re doing. I worked for a company that was being paid to work out how best to manipulate people into certain political outcomes by trying things and measuring results. Of course they didn’t market themselves as that. I quit when I worked out what they were doing.
- aaron-santos 5y agoInterested in hearing more about your story if you're willing to share.
- hughrr 5y agoI’d probably get fucked over if I mention names which would be required. Not very nice people.
- chasd00 5y ago"trying things and measuring results" do you mean plain jane A/B testing?
- hughrr 5y agoNope much more insidious. A/B testing is statistically random. This thing dangled the desirable result down a path of rewards to attempt to reprogram people into accepting version A while discarding version B, then measuring which method to do so was more effective.
