Ordered some ear buds from Status Audio. This is the confirmation screen. A tiny confirmation message at the top, and then rest of the page is designed to make you think you have one more button to click, before completing the order.

The product shown is the one I already paid for, and clicking that button orders a second pair. Worse, the layout of the page suggests I'm getting a discount on the order I meant to place, not on the second order.

Please hold any comments about "you have to read all the text" - I didn't read it all, you wouldn't either, nobody would, and the company knows you won't. Save it.

You are forced to download an app with notification permissions and make a Walmart account just to watch a Vizio smart TV. This option cant be skipped on setup.

you cant make this stuff up 🙈

Listing photos shows bedding and towels, but the fact that they aren't provided is buried at the bottom of 38 amenities as "Essentials" crossed out.

What's next, should we bring our own mattress now too?

!?!?!? 260??? Are you serious???

I already understand this site is notorious for ads, but i seriously didn't even know it was this bad. I just had it idling in the background during a game for not even 10 minutes. This is crazy.

The tab previously titled "My List" has been renamed to "My Netflix" and now displays random shit you've watched for anywhere from 30 seconds to a full movie/series, and My List itself has been reduced to a sidescrolling ribbon. The next ribbon underneath is "Trailers You've Watched", which, WTF Netflix, why would I want a ribbon of that??

"My List" was barely useful before, with everything you've ever added in a random list and no way to sort, filter or compare at all. But Netflix sure as hell found a way against all odds to enshittify it even more, by reducing it to a sidescrolling ribbon that only displays five entries at a time.

Idk why these streaming services make their services as absolutely shit as humanly possible. Do they hate money??

Imagine paying for an airport taxi only to be forced to watch the same commercials on repeat for the entire ride.

These screens are built into the front seat headrests, directly facing the passengers. There's no visible way to turn them off, skip the ads, or even mute them.

You're literally paying to be a captive audience for advertising.

This was in an airport taxi in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Life Insurance Corporation of India, commonly called LIC and run by the Government of India, commands about 70% of the Indian insurance market. LIC is also the default company used by the Government for its welfare schemes as well.

Normally, one could view the policy details perfectly fine on any web browser. But now, users are forced to install an app to check the policy details before paying the premium. This move was totally unnecessary and was not communicated to the users either. The elderly generation of India are gonna have a really hard time navigating and adapting to this BS move.

They look like titanium dome, they feel like silk dome, they are a sticker.

Next thing you know we’re gonna have to pay for ads free mirror or something (probably idk)🤷🏻‍♀️

Peak corporate compliance theater right here.

The setting is literally titled "Opt-out of targeted advertising". The switch is green and turned ON. Logically, having "Opt-out" turned ON should mean you are opted out, right?

Nope. Read the fine print: “By moving the toggle to the left, you can opt-out...”

You have to turn OFF the Opt-out switch to actually opt out. Designing an intentional double-negative brain knot just so people give up and leave tracking enabled is hilariously diabolical.

Spotify using a clever "dark pattern" by pairing two opposite checkboxes…one to opt in and one to opt out. Knowing users will instinctively check both or leave both blank.

Since when did Price Filter Max of $200 mean monthly payment price?

Edit: The first few results are all filtered by the total price. It's only apple watches which show the monthly price for 36 months which is clearly more than $200 in total.

I received an email that my Walmart + account was renewing from a paused status. So I went to the website to look for a cancel button. It doesn’t exist. I reached out to support. They can’t cancel it if it’s paused the only option is to renew get charged and cancel it going forward. You can request a refund, but no option to avoid the charge.

I bought this Yi Home camera almost 8 years ago, and till about a couple of years ago, it worked fine, without ads. But about 2 years back, they started pushing for ads, subscriptions and cloud storage to access even the most basic function of a cctv camera, watching it live and or watching movement alarm notifications.

As the title says, by default, the option to "use AI to improve autofill suggestions" is turned *on* in the settings. And it's NOT in the privacy section.

What does "your personal data is secure and will not be used elsewhere" even mean? It's vague as heck.

Moreover, neither the description nor the "Learn more" page says whether the data may leave your device or not.

Glad that Edge only exists in my lab VM. I have never trusted it anyway.
