Rapist mentality.
I've been to so many doctors that say if I don't opt in then they won't see me.
I've walked out a lot
Want to drown In a maze of dark patterns, privacy notices and terms & conditions? Just apply for an apartment.
Most likely a designer built these forms intentionally from requirements that tell him what elements need to be on each screen. It would be very simple to add an extra 'opt out' next to the opt in. The reasons the opt out option isn't there are numerous. Most are not intentionally deceptive but some are. I've found that a legal requirement for something to be in place is a strong incentive for business to make it happen.
I find your comment infuriating and I don’t exactly know why. It feels like you’ve tried to explain things for a less intelligent audience. If someone said that to me, I would struggle to fix my face.
You don’t have to use your first sentence to say that designers design designs, and you don’t have to spend two sentences (“The reasons […] but some are.”) to make a qualifier.
You could just say “Those fucks probably did it on purpose because there’s no law preventing them from it, and they will keep doing it, too”
Errybody knows companies are gonna roll you if they can get away with it.
Maybe I should have dumbed it down a little more.
Responding with an implied insult is transparent and seems small. It was already fairly dumbed down.
Your defensiveness is getting in the way of understanding my statement. The issue was a lack of faith in your audience.
This isn’t Reddit, and you don’t have to act like that here.
