I happened to click a link that took me to the associated ~~twitter~~ X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it's nothing new. I've got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What's the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you've encountered recently?

Agreement? Read them 1 hour until you have understood everything.

I one time for fun (cause I'm insane) read the entire Windows license agreement, MSA (Microsoft Services Agreement), and privacy policy. It took me 1 hour and 45 minutes, I timed it.

I could imagine they'd be interested in you over here: Tosdr.org

What a great site, I'll definitely be sharing it with some (naive) friends and colleagues :)

Back on my Xbox 360 I decided to scroll through the agreement just to see how long it would take. I didn't read it: I just held down the stick to see how long it would take.

I gave up after 40 minutes of scrolling.

That must be some slow scrolling

Thank you for your sacrifice

Wow. Is it even legal to have it that long?

I bet a lot was of details were missing in there as well.
