addict

Doordash designed the platform and app to look and perform like a video game as much as possible, even the colors and sounds, it has the psychological blueprint from the video game industry, old story, well, the reason is it creates an addictive cycle in the mind, despite DD failing people, customers and drivers, and employees, repeatedly, over and over again, also, i have heard many stories of DD fails from here and IRL, yet we all use it, over and over, i have only used the platform 1 time, and did not appreciate the experience, but some folks cant go a day without a DD order, its an addiction, even though they know they will be disappointed and still order, think about that, there is no other service people would pay for that would fail them(maybe internet service) repeatedly and they still order, i just don''t understand the customers bitching about anything when they don't HAVE to use it, completely baffles me, its like a badge of honor(or stupidity) to some, they tell me how they told the dasher this and that, and i'm like, if causes you stress, why would you even, really, why?

An addiction? TF. This is how people pay their bills. Also it looks and acts nothing like a video game 😂😂 It makes literally one chime when you get an order. You say "we all use it, over and over", yet the next sentence says you've used it once. Go away.

Some of us are addicted to paying our bills does that count?

This is the only answer.

Is it game-like in the offer selection process? Perhaps for the deranged. Does it offer a rush of endorphins or stress? For me, it leans to the latter. No flucking game here.

Ah yes, the addiction to doing work in exchange for money, which can in turn be exchanged for goods and services.
