The Mere Exposure Effect: How You Are Being Manipulated
Read it here: https://larrygmaguire.com/mere-exposure-effect/
The mere exposure effect says I can manipulate you easily.

I want to cleverly influence you towards doing what I want without you so much as suspecting I’m a crafty bastard.

You’re asleep at the wheel you see and ripe for this manipulation. I have an agenda and I intend to act purposefully to get what I want from this transaction.

You’re an employee, a citizen, a student, customer or a supplier and I want to convince you to do what I want.

So I’ll employ a few tricks of mind control to convince you to do this thing I want.

And when we’re done you’ll be happy and I’ll be happy too – K?

Once everyone is happy then it’s all good right?

OK, well you might not be happy but I will have achieved what I want.

Maybe next time you’ll be better at recognising these circumstances and know you’re being manipulated.

Or maybe you won’t.
