I didn’t think fake shopping could trick my brain until I tried the viral dopamine websites
On these fake shopping and delivery sites, nothing ever ships or costs a cent, yet the dopamine hit still felt real.
fake-shopping-on-viral-dopamine-websites

I spent some time in the internet's fakest mall, filling a shopping cart with things I could not buy, hunting for discounts on products that do not exist, and checking out three separate times for a grand total of $0.00. Then I placed a fake food order and smoked a cigarette I could not taste, with strangers I will never meet, on a rooftop that does not exist either. My bank balance never changed, but my brain, annoyingly, did.

When I first heard about South Korea's growing "dopamine sites," I assumed they were another internet oddity I would poke around for five minutes and forget by lunch. Instead, I found a surprisingly clever idea hiding beneath the absurdity. You can browse endless imaginary products, add everything to your cart, and complete a purchase that never actually exists. These websites aren't trying to sell you anything. They're trying to recreate the feeling of shopping while removing the part that empties your wallet.
