This if the ToS problem. Tell me, of the many services you use and products you own, how many ToS have you read? 3%? 10%? Probably less than 2%. Changelogs and release notes have the same problem. They take time to create, edit and review and no one who matters reads them. Why would they spend their time on it?
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 3y agoI get your point, but changelogs can often be generated semi-automatically from VCS. And I realise I'm not the typical user, but I actually do read(skim) TOS just to see if there's any centipad like stuff. Most of it is just boilerplate and you get pretty quick at finding the substantive parts with some practice. Of course TOS/EULA are hard to read for most people by design. They don't actually want you to read it. If they did, they'd offer a summarised version without all the legalese boilerplate. I get the same feeling about changelogs. They probably have one internally if they know what they're doing. It may even be online somewhere if I go looking. I can only surmise that for whatever reason, they don't want me to read it, which doesn't inspire trust.
