The problem with this website is that it's filled with popups suggesting to accept cookies, privacy, and stuff. Before I ever see an unobstructed web page, I have to perform about two or three clicks accompanied with intimidating text descriptions.
The more clicks the better, right? More clicks is a sure sign of improved engagement. But seriously, it is not.
- budgi4 3y agoThe issue you describe is a general one driven by regulation and not specific to this website
- latexr 3y ago> driven by regulation It’s driven by privacy invasive practices from the services. I have never created a website that showed popups or required people to “accept” anything, because I respect the people who visit them. The websites who say they “value your privacy” while at the same time revealing they have “1542 partners” (yes, really) they share your data with are the problem. It’s as if the milk industry were peeing in your milk, a law passed saying they could only do that with consent, and you complained of all the pee warnings being driven by regulation. I mean, technically the warning are only there because of regulation, but the law isn’t the thing to criticise there, the behaviour which lead to it is.
