Third-party claim
“She suggested that based on what we know about operant conditioning the use of variable unpredictable intervals regarding how often gems can be awarded would result in the most sticky use of them.”
Panelist Rowshanak Hashemlyoon (behavioral neuroscientist) predicts that variable, unpredictable gem-award intervals would make gems stickiest for users. The author calls this 'the most intriguing possibility', compares it to Clubhouse's early invite system, and adds that gambling and video game industries know this principle and 'it stands to reason' that anyone gamifying a platform should consider it.
A quoted or paraphrased claim by someone else that the author does not adopt as their own.
