We examine how the decoy effect shapes everything from your morning coffee to enterprise software contracts. Using a specific case study of a major streaming service's pricing tier redesign, we explore why adding a third, slightly worse option makes the middle tier look like a steal. Lucas breaks down the psychology of asymmetric dominance and Luna asks how consumers can spot when they are being nudged into paying more for something they did not originally want. #BehavioralEconomics #DecoyEffect #ConsumerPsychology #PricingStrategy #DecisionMaking #MarketingTactics #EconomicsExplained #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #SpendingHabits #ChoiceArchitecture #RationalityBounded #ValuePerception #StrategicPricing #MarketManipulation #EverydayEconomics #SmartSpending Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
