These are the kinds of tools who's design is such that I can't tell if they're evil or brilliant. On one hand, I know it's a manipulation of "could have, should have" -- the fear of missing out or having missed out -- and much like a visual illusion you know it's a completely fake form of regret. At the same time, no matter how much you stare at it, even knowing it's completely fake, you can't make it go away.
