WHY THE FUCK WOULD SOMEONE WILLINGLY OPT IN?!

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 29 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Cause they're going to show a pop-up that advertises some "cool new feature", and the 99% of users who aren't tech literate will say yes and never think about it again.

People on this site severely overestimate how much the average person cares and their overall level of tech.

Yup. Average user doesn’t know what pop or imap is and can’t use their tv remote to change an input.
