I think you missed the point of his comment. It's not merely that users don't care. It's that most users don't even understand what a popup is saying. The average user doesn't know what a cookie or a plugin is.
- pdkl95 10y agoThat kind of misunderstanding is the fault of the speaker, not the listener. The current paternalistic trend of removing agency from the user and making choices for them is lazy and perpetuates ignorance. Write better popups that do a better job explaining the problem, educating the user, and expressing the necessary information so the user can make an informed choice.
- Jemmeh 10y agoA good explanation doesn't matter-- users frequently don't even read the message. They just hit the button, because they just want to get on to whatever it is they want to be doing.
