THE GROWTH HACKER
Chastity ‘Chase’ Funnel · Head of Viral Arbitrage & Extraction
“Human beings are not people. Human beings are conversion nodes in our activation loop.”
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A dark-pattern virtuoso and viral prodigy who views human psychology as an exploitable API. Triples daily active users in seventy-two hours by turning everyday interfaces into inescapable psychological flytraps.
CONFIDENTIAL ORIGIN DOSSIER
Act I: The Scrappy Origins
Started out reverse-engineering viral social algorithms from her dorm room, building automated notification loops that manipulated engagement metrics for millions of users before platforms could patch the exploits.
Act II: The Breakthrough Pivot
Hired as growth lead at a dying streaming app and boosted 30-day retention by 420% over a single holiday weekend by replacing the logout button with a deceptive modal loop and weaponizing FOMO push alerts.
Act III: Silicon Valley Reality
Operates from a command station glowing with real-time churn heatmaps and conversion metrics. Refuses to approve any product wireframe unless the unsubscribe flow requires navigating through at least five guilt-tripping screens.
MOTIVATIONS & WORLDVIEW
Core Drive: Engineering recursive dopamine loops that trap user attention and monetize every micro-interaction before users realize what happened.
Tech Philosophy: User empathy is an unnecessary point of friction in the viral distribution funnel.
Greatest Fear: A consumer protection law requiring a one-click unsubscribe button with zero confirmation prompts.
LEAKED SCANDALS & BOARDROOM RED FLAGS
- Engineered a modal that made the ‘Decline Tracking’ button shrink and dance erratically around the screen whenever the cursor approached it.
- Sent an automated 3 AM push alert to two million dormant accounts reading ‘Someone you went to high school with is looking at your photos right now.’
- Banned from three international app stores for disguising annual recurring subscriptions as free calculator utility updates.
SIGNATURE QUOTES
“If the user manages to find the cancellation settings on their first try, our product design has failed.”
“Ethics don’t scale. Churn prevention scripts do.”
“Every friction point you remove from the payment flow is another step toward infinite lifetime value.”
