The fact that I have to click "I don't like music" or enter my email address to look at the website is toxic. As someone who was psychologically and emotionally abused by someone with a narcissistic personality disorder for decades I consider this to be psychological abuse. Abusers put you in situations where you can't be honest and then use that against you. Call me triggered if you want, I don't particularly care.
- lioeters 5y agoYou're right to be insulted by this dark pattern. It's a manipulative exploitation of human interaction, and all too commonly used for "user engagement" - in other words, tricking you for their benefit. It angers me that this is the norm these days among private companies and even public institutions. It's condescending.
