   Haha, yeah.

   Incentivize your consumers with cheap psychological tricks! Way to go! That’s what businesses have been doing since the dawn of time.

   He probably didn’t get the memo that extrinsic rewards reduce overall performance - if you want something done right and for the participants to enjoy it, you get them interested in it for themselves (intrinsic motivation), not for points and “real” artificial things.
