You can absolutely get fucked sky-high, if I’ve turned this off and you build a custom UI to pester me any anyway.

@g ha! I’ve just referenced this!

@SecurityWriter dating apps are even more "fun" in this area. At least for men, they wait until you get a match and then immediately pop up a rating prompt.

@SecurityWriter Also I'm less inclined to do something if nagged to do it!

• I don't even have an account with which I could rate it anyway...

@SecurityWriter an opportunity to opt out?

I wish everything had an option where it is set to opt out by default

@SecurityWriter In our application we've designed and implemented a set of features to not only track your usage, frequency cycles and other key metrics for our sales and marketing teams... but we've also configured the systems to be beholden on it... neat huh?

We have a few questions for you, about the activity we have monitored on your devices. Care to... explain?

@SecurityWriter I was having moisture problems in my crawlspace, hired a place to come out and do some repairs and install a sump. They did a great job, crawlspace is dry as a bone now.

But they asked me to leave a review on their Google maps page, and when I didn't, they called me repeatedly asking me to do so.

I tried explaining to them that I never leave reviews for any reason, but they kept pleading with me. I eventually resorted to blocking their number.

Apparently, this bullshit is spreading out into meatspace. We have really constructed a horrible place to live for ourselves.

@SecurityWriter Ha! Just happened to me too. Outlook invites you to send "internal feedback" if you say no, as opposed to leaving a five-star review if you say yes.

@SecurityWriter I still remember that one week where everyone was angry at a company for making a fake rating prompt that forwarded five-star reviews to the App Store and everything else to their own bit bucket (then the outrage reached project managers who drew the obvious conclusion and within a month Every Single App did the same thing)
