Dear so-called “UX” designers, the opposite of “yes” isn’t “not now”, it’s “no.”
@aral also, dear "growth" teams. At this point, any such UX is obviously intentional. They know what they're doing... regulators should really step in.
allow me to introduce you to the concept of "dark patterns": https://www.deceptive.design/
@antanicus @michel_slm Indeed :) (check out the hash tag on the original) ;)
@aral If I bump into this I do my best to remove whatever software is doing that right there. It is so annoying and downright disrespectful.
@aral - We would have also accepted: "Later."
@aral the opposite of "accept" is "manage my choices" which takes you to a login form, which, upon entering your account credentials, asks you for a phone number to set up two-factor-authentication.

@aral Also the opposite of "yes" is not "review my settings".

> Press the Up arrow button 5 times.
> Press the Down arrow button 5 times
> The skip option should appear.
And they call it an OPTION to create an account:

@aral I’m still slightly stressed this morning that my eBay app insisted I give feedback, rather than say “not now” I had to say yes or no… so I gave a detailed report of how much of a toxic usability pattern it was to force me to have to give a usability report.
