on the slot machine analogy - do you think it is optimal to let users hit jackpot 100% of time? What are the merits of picking a lower hit rate (in the system’s eyes) e.g. 98%? Also what are the merits from a psychology perspective (if any) of a user not being satisfied on some swipes?
Great question. I think if the hit rate is 100%, it’s not a slot machine. There needs to be something in there for variable rewards. People keep scrolling to find one more good piece of content. But because they know not everyone video is worth their time.
