Thankfully, people now are much smarter in this regard and with the spam filters and everything.
People know better in terms of what's spam and even understand dark patterns in legitimate products.
- anonyfox 4y ago_some people do._ but in exchange for that, we now have disinformation campaigns, alternative facts, ... . We need a spam filter for social/traditional media, maybe as a brain implant, cyberpunk style.
- capableweb 4y ago> even understand dark patterns in legitimate products Many tech oriented people probably do but most non-technical people do not, and simply don't care. You can put a popover that shows when you load the page the first time that asks "By browsing this website you agree that we own you body, mind and soul" and shows two buttons, one green "Accept all" and one gray "Show options", and most people will instinctively press the green "Accept all" button in order to get to the content faster.
- krab 4y agoThat's why such agreement wouldn't be legally binding in a big part of the world. The users in turn know it's more or less safe to click "accept all" on a random website.
- capableweb 4y agoI think most click "accept all" because they simply don't give a fuck, not because they understand some judicial situation. Most (common) people don't understand most things on the internet, even less if it touches law-related stuff.
- krab 4y agoThey don't give a fuck because they know no case when clicking "accept all" on a random website got someone in trouble.
- robbie-c 4y agoI think these kinds of people have just gotten more sophisticated. How much money did Sky Mavis raise? How much money did the Luna guy walk away with?
