Abstract

In an era marked by hyperconnectivity and digital saturation, this study explores the phenomenon of feature phone adoption as a form of digital detox among Indonesian users. Drawing on a micro-netnographic methodology, the research analyses user-generated commentary on a high-engagement Instagram post by a verified media outlet, examining the discursive meanings and affective tensions underpinning the rejection of smartphones. Unlike temporary digital fasting or app-based self-regulation, the adoption of low-tech devices represents a more radical, embodied, and symbolically charged act of consumer resistance. Thematic analysis reveals that this behavioural shift is driven by emotional exhaustion, a desire for cognitive clarity, and a search for authenticity in digitally saturated environments. By foregrounding culturally situated narratives from a mobile-first emerging market, the study challenges dominant techno-optimist assumptions and contributes to theoretical conversations on digital minimalism, anti-consumption, and youth technology cultures. The findings offer both conceptual insight and practical implications for international marketers, particularly in designing psychologically attuned and culturally resonant strategies within emotionally fatigued digital landscapes. This research advances a more nuanced understanding of technological agency, centred not solely on innovation and access, but on intentional disconnection and value-based simplicity.

Abstract

ABSTRACThis study aims to examine the influence of promotions, service features, and ease of use on people's decisions to use Gopay e-wallets, both partially and simultaneously. These three variables are assumed to play a role in shaping user decisions. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory design, involving 96 respondents who are active users of Gopay in Gianyar Regency, Indonesia. Sample selection was conducted purposively, and data was collected through a five-point Likert scale questionnaire. The analysis was carried out through classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, determination coefficients, and t and F tests. The results showed that the promotion and ease of use of the application had a positive and significant influence on the decision to use, while the service features showed a positive but not statistically significant influence. These findings emphasize the importance of communicative promotional strategies and easy-to-use interface design in increasing the adoption of e-wallet services. Instead, the service features need to be further customized to align with the user's needs and preferences. The practical implications of these results provide input for digital financial service providers to prioritize user experience and the effectiveness of marketing communications. The study also recommends exploring additional variables such as trust, security perception, and social influence in future studies to build a more comprehensive understanding of e-wallet usage behavior.
