Persuasion versus Usability
Usability makes it easier for someone to do something, it makes it useable.
Persuasion is behind the persons motivation to do that thing in the first place.
At every barrier in usability there must be more motivation to complete the task than the effort required to complete it.

Why persuasion works
Because it provides proven shortcuts for us that reduces our already maxed out daily cognitive load.
We have learned these automatic fixed-action patterns. It’s a very efficient way of behaving as it reduces the need to analyze our every decision.

you are more likely to make a choice. Too many options overwhelm.
