Ever felt personally victimized by a discount spinner? You know, those flashy wheels of disappointment promising 50% off but always landing on a measly 10%?  Seema, our UX and game design guru, is here to spill the tea on why spinners are the awkward middle child of eCommerce gimmicks.

In this episode, we unpack:
🎡 Why spinners are the digital equivalent of a rigged carnival game
💡 How brands can turn spinners into interactive, trust-building goldmines
🛑 Why losing customer trust is the ultimate no-no 
🍬 Gummy bear debates, surprise marketing wins, and why Reddit is the internet's complaint department

If you’re a brand thinking about slapping a spinner on your site—or already have one—this episode will give you ideas to make it actually fun (and fair).
