A friend asked me to help him set up some software. He shared the screen for me to watch. He Googled the software, clicked on the first link - an ad to some blog with Top 10 software for X. Then, in under 3 seconds, he accepted all cookies and tracking, allowed notifications and started typing his email address to subscribe to their newsletter, and only stopped because I told him. It was like he wasn‘t even thinking about this anymore, just automatically click on the brightest button to reach content faster. Anecdote, but I think a lot of people act like this which is why these websites think it’s successful.
