...this is because of the reactance effect. No one should try to restrict us.

Reactance is a psychological form of defense in which emotional arguments, pressure, threats or prohibitions cause a defensive reaction. People then tend to take exactly the position from which they should be dissuaded.

People are not defenseless or easily manipulated creatures - their weapon is reactance. If a salesman is too pushy, an admirer too insistent, the pressure too high to perform a certain action, people often decide to do exactly the opposite, even if they have to accept losses as a result.

They cancel an order process, ignore an offer from a seller, or leave the site.
