Really annoyed with a business's unsubscribe page being all "No more calls, no more texts, we're breaking up!" JFC, lay it on thick why don't you.

Fucking dark patterns.

@fluffy Imagine if they presented the rest of the fine print the same way.

"We're very slightly sad to see you go! That's why it'll take 10 days for us to stop sharing your phone number, approximate location, and first pet's name with who knows how many other creepers. And don't worry about us – our heartbreak will mend once the guy you're leaving us for merges into our corporate polycule. As you go, a stranger will ask a few survey questions to help us guilt-trip others more efectively. 💋"
