Doesn't the fact that someone claimed the prize within 23 hours of the contest just prove that people do actually read their contracts?

- ColinWright 5y agoIt proves that at least one person read that contract. It does not prove that people in general read all, or even most, of their contracts. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the vast majority of people read effectively nothing in their contract ... otherwise this wouldn't be news.
- Gigachad 5y agoDepends what kind of contract. I carefully analysed the 300 page document when I bought an apartment but I’m obviously not reading anything when I sign up for some online account.
- mitchdoogle 5y agoEspecially travel insurance.. the people purchasing that are naturally more careful people otherwise they wouldn't be buying it
- Rebelgecko 5y agoI do wonder if they made it too obvious by bolding the text.
