Description
Your phone is face-down on the bar and it just buzzed. The person with the microphone knows exactly what your thumb wants to do and why. Big Questions Cool Drinks is a bar talk where a behavioral researcher traces the design decisions that turn a free app into a daily habit. Dopamine loops, variable rewards, infinite scroll, dark patterns. Then the Q&A opens and the room decides what it actually wants to ask. Nobody tells you to put it away.
