  “if we just made this opt-in” has become the bleakest nonsense in IT.

  Be it LLMs or ads or “free” albums, tech companies just can’t accept that “make me say yes” should always be the default.

    In this case it wasn’t even opt-out. Once the album was on your device it was impossible to get rid of it.

      I felt the same for Steam years ago. If you got a free game or something and it was shit you couldn’t take if off your list. Granted they didn’t force the game onto you but you still should be able to remove games from your account. I know you can now but there was a time you couldn’t.

        it was quite a funny hobby to gift your friends shitty games, though
