It's well written with nice examples from Robert Cialdini. I do think manufactured scarcity is one of the bedstone of modern marketing. Behaviour science textbook explaine at length on how this works. Fascinating stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Great article. I’ve fallen for the online course clock countdown trick 2 times. Two times! And I haven’t finished either course. My credit card was mad at me.

I recently felt the FOMO when we were looking at property and someone else showed at the same time. The realtor booked us just like you said. We didn’t buy, but I felt it.
