OMFG, the "not now" option (also disguised as an "ask later" button) makes me want to break things. I'm seeing this happening everywhere!

Load up an app? REVIEW THIS APP! (YES/NOT NOW)

Log into your bank account? SIGN UP FOR E-BILLING! (YES/ASK LATER)

Want to order something online? SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER!! (OK/REMIND ME LATER)

Want to pay your utility bill? RATE OUR SERVICE! (OK/REMIND ME LATER)

🤬

My policy is: Apps that interrupt me to ask for a review will get a 1 star review. I’ll add comments about wanting to be left the fuck alone and please sthaaap with the thirsty pop ups and emails - if it is convenient to do so. Hulu keeps bugging me on my XBox and I’m not entering an explanation with a fucking remote control (WTF ARE THEY THINKING?) so they just get 1 star with no explanation. Fuck’em. They asked for my opinion so they’re getting it.
