MODERATORS
Kinda faulty logic. The majority of those cookie prompts literally do nothing. You can check which actually work if you decline them.
The shitty companies make it ridiculously easy to interface with because they actually don’t even want to use them. Hence why most don’t do squat. They want your data.
You’re thinking of it in a legal sense, to make too many hoops to jump thru, which is pointless given users can’t really verify if it does anything.
so why doing this in first place ?! it should be an opt-in not an opt-out.
At the very least, paywall are more honest.
so I maintain: SHITTY COMPANY
