bad UI and company design...one should NEVER EVER cause any user of any service to take extra actions to respect their rights and data. It should be the reverse...if you want to use AI or have AI use your data then you need to take extra steps... This is dark patterns all over again

Dropbox crossed the bad UI rubicon for me when it limited upload speed on my free account to sub-dial up rates. This was in 2012. I just put everything in Google Drive and a USB stick and have never looked at DB again.

  Limited your upload speed on a free account? I'd hardly call that a dark pattern.

    The transfer speed is slower than using Bluetooth. Free users would have dumped the tool immediately. What DB did was throttle the speed only after I had uploaded a set of files, and then bug me to upgrade to paid.
