Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.

Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for “yes” is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it’s easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!

    I think it was LinkedIn I remember seeing also did this, right before I uninstalled the app. NextDoor does something like this but not 3 pages worth. The harder it is, the less people that will do it - and the companies doing this know that!
