  Indeed they can skip it, but it’s still ironic because it’s still creepy to ask.

    Not when the text says “hey, do you want to share your email?” and there’s a big button that says “no, just take me to my results”

    This stupid shit is the reason we need warning labels on things. They’re not there to protect the idiots that drink bleach to get rid of covid, they’re there because idiots will drink bleach anyway then blame Clorox for not having the label they wouldn’t have read anyway.

      They ask for an email before sharing the results in the hopes that they would get more people to sign up. If not a dark pattern then that’s at least sus.

        Just because you don’t have the attention span to not react to every input you see doesn’t make it a dark pattern. It means you need to be less impulsive.
