    You ever notice how Apple never really lets the user say "no" to their nudges?

    It's always "maybe later" and never "no seriously, I don't want this, go away"

      I’ve noticed that most companies do that, not just Apple.

        Apple claims to be the privacy king. They deserve scrutiny.

          Other companies claim to care about the consumer, they deserve scrutiny too.

          What does privacy have to do with nudges?

              Those are 2 different and often conflicting things.

        Most companies did that before Apple, yes. I hate that trend.

        Microsoft pioneer it with "ask again in 30 minutes". Or maybe someone else, can't tell for sure who was the original bastard.

        Apples sets the example.

        a bad example from apple becomes the status quo for other companies.

        Or the EU with their online chat control. First round they couldn’t get a majority. Then, they sneakily turned it around so people had to vote to NOT want it. The day they did the second vote, many were on holiday and thus it passed.
