    This morning i won 50 Linus coins for putting the thermal paste back in the correct drawer and all i can get with that is Lunch with......Dennis -Luke Lafreniere 2016

    So is a job gamification?
    You work for someone to earn money...

    • @1Joren
      @1Joren 8 років тому +9

      You even get promotion if you do it well enough, you level up!
      On a more serious note one could argue a job is indeed gamified in some ways and one step further, as described in the video, would be to argue life is gamified. The interesting part here is that it shows how humans are wired to have an almost natural addiction to progression and how companies and developers are using this for good and .. not so good purposes.

    Nothing that the private industry has done can come close to the awfulness of Sesame Credit in China. It's not just "creepy." It's HORRIFYING. Those without enough Sesame Credit won't be able to get jobs. Those that display unfaltering loyalty to the Chinese government will get the best jobs, economic opportunity, and even matchmaking opportunities. Worse yet, even being friends with someone with low credit is said to incur penalties, meaning that it socially isolates those that aren't fanatically loyal.
    So it's a tool for brainwashing and breeding loyalty to the government. With it, I don't think China can ever recover from its current state.

      @CocoaNutTF2 8 років тому

      Feynstein 100 Yep. But don't worry. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe won't be far behind. The US might be, too, depending on how we play our cards. Hilariously enough, Russia might be the last, best hope for Western civilization.
      Heck, the UK Minister of Health claimed that the Liverpool Care Pathway (where a patient is sedated and starved to death) was "great," even knowing that hundreds of thousands were put on it without consent, many spent quite a long time in agony because the sedation didn't work right (and those are just the ones that we KNOW were in pain), and other were put on it in spite of not actually being terminal, as evidenced by people on it recovering, waking up, and checking out. Which makes you wonder how many people would have recovered without it, but didn't because their bodies were deprived of nutrients. This is what he classified as "great." Because it saved the government some money. It is horrifying how these governments view their citizens.

    Think of Walking and Pokemon Go. Gamification doesn't have to actually have an even decent game attached, but it just needs to be something to help motivate a person to do the activity.

    @KUTLESSKID619 8 років тому +1

    A really good example of Gamification I feel is a class I took in high school. It was a digital arts class where the teacher made assignments quests and allowed you to rank up and earn currency to spend for fun things in class such as taking over the music for the day and so forth. For anyone who might be interested in seeing how it works and the results: maclab.guhsd.net/

    Now I know what to call the thing I don't like. "Do the stuff we want you to do to earn points. You also have a time limit to spend the points or they go away, so get as many as you can as fast as you can so you can use them to get junk."
    I'm sorry, but I can't afford to be spending $5k per year just to get $20 off a purchase.
    I also had an employer who wanted employees to change their behaviour so they gameified it... 'do this and earn entries into a draw, more entries means more chances to win.' The thing is, I was already doing it the way they wanted so when they started the program, they ignored me and I got zero entries.
    I've reached a point where if something is gamified then I don't want to be involved because I get nothing for it. I'm not so stubborn that I'll stay away if it makes sense for me... but I ignore the 'game points' side of it.
    I also quit my credit card version of gamification (airmiles) because it was costing me a lot and getting me nothing. A temp at the bank was convinced it was the best thing ever and convinced me into it... now I've got not enough points for plane tickets and everything I can get are things I don't want.
    Guess you could say that I have a lot of bad gamification experience and have leveled up to 'hater'. lol

  • @vrapbrap
    @vrapbrap 8 років тому

    Aside from the data collecting/selling that these things love, I find it somehow stupid that literally everything has to be a "game" now. I remember when I was told that I was just escaping reality when I spent lots of time playing videogames, but also doing chores, working out and such like normal people. Now these same people are using stupid apps like these for working out which really, REALLY make me want to poke fun at them. "b-but Im not motivated enough to work out if I dont get uh XP points!"

    Am I broken if gamification doesnt work with me? Like, leveling is the least fun part of any game, I dont like achievements. It seems like an abstract of the worst part of games that are designed to specifically slow down game progression, and it's very bizarre to me that it works with people.
    Like I've tried HabitRPG and it's like why would I even care if my little dude dies or loses HP? It's just some abstract thing thats completely irrelevant. It's one of those "Oh that's neat" things but I really don't see how its effect in any real way.
