   I hate the gaslighting by modern e-commerce sites.

   You triple confirm you don’t check the “sign me up for marketing emails” box.

   Said emails inevitably arrive in your inbox.

   When you click unsubscribe, “I never signed up” isn’t even a reason you can select. At best, it’s “I don’t recall signing up.”

   The inability to say No feels like it’s trending towards ubiquity in tech and I am not here for it.

     @deirdresm @shortridge they have whole staffs who's purpose is to reduce their touch points - where they might have contact with "normal" people - as much as possible. There is a whole layer of infrastructure at some places just to support this.

     @shortridge It’s frankly rape culture.

     Your no, even three times no, isn’t respected.

     Then, when you unsubscribe, they say they’ll update your “preferences.”

     That wasn’t a preference, it’s a boundary. Get real.
