בדקתם טיסה ללונדון ויחד אתכם יש עוד 38 מתעניינים? היתכן? המאמר באנגלית. אני מצרפת רק קטע, אפשר לקרוא את כולו בקישור שנתתי.
Ophir Harpaz just wanted to get a good deal on a flight to London. She was on travel website OneTravel, scouring various options for her trip. As she browsed, she noticed a seemingly helpful prompt: “38 people are looking at this flight”. A nudge that implied the flight might soon get booked up, or perhaps that the price of a seat would rise as they became scarcer.
Except it wasn’t a true statement. As Harpaz looked at that number, “38 people”, she began to feel sceptical. Were 38 people really looking at that budget flight to London at the same exact moment?
