How to make users addict to your website like how social media do? - kawward

We all know that social media platforms are masters of manipulation, using sneaky psychological tricks to let you addict to their screens.
The majority of websites use **Gamifications **like: points, badges, leaderboards to rewards user action and progress.

2- Fear of Missing Out (FOMO): Ever feel left out by everyone having a blast on social media? Platforms exploit this by constantly reminding us of what others are doing, fueling the need to stay in the loop.

3- The Endless Scroll: Designed to be never-ending, social media feeds keep us mindlessly scrolling. The "just one more post" mentality takes over, devouring our time and productivity.
4- Social Validation:
• Enable user reviews and ratings.
• Display social proof like follower counts or testimonials.
• Incorporate social sharing buttons to encourage sharing content.
• Create opportunities for users to interact and collaborate.

5- Notifications:
Allow users to customize notification preferences.
Send timely and relevant notifications based on actions or interests.
Make notification settings easily accessible for adjustments.
