Why is this shit always opt-out?
Are they afraid it’s a shit feature, so no one would be want to opt in?
Because Techbros really struggle with consent.
This dates tactic predates the internet.
Cable, telephone and banks used to do this regularly.
they really do
In a word, yes.
They know it benefits them more than us, so they make it opt-out.
They also know that just a tiny tiny percentage of users will go into settings, and even less actually change something.
Because we live in corporate dictatorships with the illusion of “democracy”.
