🌴38. Confirmation culture
Let me introduce a new concept I coined - 'confirmation culture.'
We'll delve into the rise of this phenomenon, comparing it to the well-known cancel culture, though it's quite different at its core.
You’ll hear about my personal experiences with excessive appointment confirmations, and how this mirrors the rise of 'ghosting' in our society.
I'll also share insights on how confirmation culture impacts everything from job applications to business operations, and propose solutions like smarter tech automations.
You’ll relate if you’ve ever been swamped by automated texts or emails, and we’ll explore how we can balance reliability and efficiency.
