People get value in return. Free to use product and ads about stuff they’re interested in. For some it’s not enough of value proposition, but for others consider it fair value exchange.
- jonplackett 6y agoI still wouldn't categorise that as wanting to be tracked, just begrudgingly accepting it. I'd also say that's a better argument for google, where them knowing some stuff about me probably does give better search results - but facebook just want to give me better adverts, which is of marginal (approaching zero) benefit to me.
- anonymousab 6y agoNothing wrong with making the value proposition/tradeoff an upfront and obvious decision. Might even encourage competition from tools that have a different proposition.
- SllX 6y agoThere’s two options in that dialog box: 1. Allow Tracking 2. Ask App Not to Track. People that see it that way can choose option 1 when presented with the choice.
- kergonath 6y agoIf the users are making a choice, then opting in would not be a problem. It’s informed consent, so they are aware of what they are giving away for the service, right? Nothing like companies helping themselves without the users even knowing the monetary value of what they are giving away. In other words: if your demand is legitimate, you have no reason to whine about opt in.
