This is actually very, very interesting... and some what genius. In the past, I've felt the urge to buy _something_ for that dopamine hit, even if I didn't really need anything.

I've impulsed bought books before (most I do not regret) and some vinyl records (none I regret). I don't impulse buy food though (as the article discusses) - I regret ordering food most of the time as I feel unhealthy afterwards.

This concept may very much be in line what I need for other impulse purchases. Imagine a dopamine-hit amazon-clone which lets you browse, compare, and order the current obsession-of-the-week - saving your bank account in the long run. I may just try making this.

And you could charge people 9.99 a month to use it...

Or you know, you could practice self control or do other things in your life.
