just to get it out of the way: yes, i know i can use a spam email/phone number. yes, i know i can opt out of promotional emails/texts. that doesn’t make it any less frustrating. i don’t need a growing list of empty accounts for websites i only spend an hour (or less) browsing through. don’t even get me started on restaurants that ask for your phone number when you scan their QR code…
Yes. It’s so bad that I usually skip/avoid/leave those sites unless it’s absolutely necessary. Blog/news site? Fuck you I’m out. Pinterest is one of the worst offenders. I avoid it like the plague.
if pinterest has no haters, i’m dead.
