Societally Rewarding

You aren't socially rewarding anybody. I think that is not only the single most offensive way of structuring a society but serves no purpose other than to condition people to accept servitude. You know that right? That isn't a thing.

Hym "That sounds like some ignorant conservative shit. You aren't 'Societally Rewarding' people when they exchange their labor or advance or they 'succeed in general'. That's not a social reward. People try to treat it that way. As though success is a societal reward. They do the same thing with sex. But their behavior in no way needs to be concordant with any consistent behavioral ethic. They can find vague, amorphous predictors. And sure, I'm sure the data on the predictors is accurate. But that's not the point. Who has the sucess is irrelevant. That it's FRAMED as a 'Societal reward' is the issue and what's more interesting is what I think is WHY it's framed that way. The success isn't enough. They want to DESERVE it. So... It's societally framed as a reward. So that people are motivated to strive for success. So that what they succeed, they get that release of dopamine and continue to strive. It's a 'Skinner Box.' (In abstraction obviously). A conceptual machine much like my Chaff grenade or my money generator. A lot of things are treated like Societal reward. Association. Sex. Success. A portable skinner box sold to you buy society. You carry it with you everywhere you go and then blame social media while you mash the button. But I've said this all before."

Creative Reward

A 'Creative Reward' refers to a self-gifted creative project undertaken by a graphic designer or someone engaged in a creative profession. This reward is a personal incentive upon successfully completing a creative task assigned to them, especially if it's one they might not be enthusiastic about.

John had to work late into the night on a tedious logo redesign, but he promised himself a 'Creative Reward' – an hour of painting his personal art – once he finished the task.

intermittent variable rewards

On social media platforms like YouTube, this term commonly abbreviated as IVRs refer to engagement metrics, such as likes, comments and subscriptions. For creators, this type of engagement can lead to more dopamine in the brain, resulting in a rush of pleasure and validation for their work.

The way his subscriber count kept climbing was all thanks to those intermittent variable rewards; every notification felt like a little win!

Wingman's reward

When you get to hook up with the friend of the girl that your mate is going for, because you and the girl friend are stuck with each other and there's not much else to do.

It's not a great reward but better than going home empty handed.

Note that it's not a wingmans' reward if you're actually into the girl. That's tag teaming and not wingmanning.

I wingmanned Kyle last night and collected a half decent wingman's reward.
