There have been plenty of studies and I've even done my own studies. Most people don't read prompts. Most people don't even register consciously that a prompt even appeared. They have gotten so used to clicking through prompts that they have become blind to them.
Prompts are the wrong way to do almost anything, unless the user is expecting the prompt to appear.

- tomjen3 5y agoPrompts are bad from a design perspective: there is no way to say "ask me later", much less one that is universally recognized. That means that if I need to jot down a quick note and some designer has decided that I should be forced to go through a set of prompts about how to use the interface then I have to close them without reading them so that I can still remember what it was I should write down. The same thing happens pretty much with all other prompts, though to a lesser extend. If you feel like adding a prompt to the software, make sure I can minimize it, do my work and then come back.
