Time Preference Rate. “The Marshmallow Tale” by Joachim de Posada and Ellen Singer describes the “Marshmallow Experiment” at Stanford University. The experimenter left the child alone in the room and gave the child a marshmallow, instructing the child to eat it immediately. However, if the child did not eat it within 15 minutes, the experimenter would give the child another marshmallow. Some children waited the full 15 minutes, while others stopped waiting early. These two groups were followed for 14 years, and as a result, the more patient children showed better social and mental abilities. Those who cannot tolerate waiting are said to have a high time preference rate, while those who are patient are described as having a low time preference rate. In investment, high and low time preference ratios are not necessarily good or bad because many investments depend on luck. The key is to find and stick to methods and principles that match one’s own tendencies. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The reason that unboxing videos are so popular on YouTube is that consumers trust them. Consumers trust them to be on the side of the buyer, not the seller. Unboxing storytelling starts with the box and shows the product after it has been unpacked. It is entirely from the buyer's point of view. Sellers, on the other hand, want to show the product first. In the online world, being on consumers' side is more trustworthy than being honest and accurate - but that doesn't mean it's less important. If you need to earn trust, you should prove that you're on the customers' side. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
