It is endlessly frustrating that companies have universally decided that they won’t let people say “no” to stuff, ever. There are no longer options to reject stupid-ass new “features”, only postponement until next time you open the app/website/program. They’ll continue pestering you for the rest of your life. I realize that my frustration may be a little over-zealous, but we deal with these interfaces dozens of times per day and this is user hostile behavior. There isn’t really an option to just use another service or program, since the entire technology landscape has been commandeered by a few major corporations, and they all enact the same shitty things as a group.

    lmao. Even after disabling toggles, they got choices like:

    • Save my preferences (grayed out) - as much invisible as possible
    • Accept (bigger and in blue background) - feels like it will accept based on my choices

      That asshole design works on me tho. I misclicked a couple of times and thus “consented” to the tracking. Should be illegal imo.
