Think about how many times in a day on the Web you click “I agree” when you really don’t agree just so you can get on with your day and use an everyday thing.
This is not how consent is supposed to work.

And to be clear, I am in no way blaming us for clicking through them (and hopefully protecting ourselves with tracker blockers at the same time) instead of wasting time we will never get back to navigate them. The blame is entirely on a system that presents that as the norm.
@aral If i went through and clicked to opt out of everything, I think with my reading speed and dexterity in my hands using the mouse, I'd spend more time online trying to click and opt out of things than actually looking at websites. That's not choice, it's forcing us into an absurd situation to punish us for wanting privacy.
@sophia May I boost this on birdsite also?
@aral By all means!
It's a massive issue in terms of accessibility that rarely gets mentioned in these terms. I can't physically keep going through them some days which means I don't get to access things privately. It's just another thing that makes me furious about how they've implemented all these changes.
@aral a pay-to-play system where i pay with my personal information every second just to interact with the modern world
