Dear designers and developers,
The opposite of “Yes” is “No”, never “Maybe later.”

@0xSim You can always refuse to implement it.
@aral Dear users, we developers are truly sorry but we're often not the ones who decide to implement obtuse or dark pattern features :(
@aral I disagree in that “Maybe later” became so common it helps understand the specific nature of the dialog. “No” is more generic and could apply to many other system prompts, but seeing “Maybe later” makes it easy to click without worrying and reading the rest.
Plus, a lot more characters means it’s easier to target.
@mwichary Maybe later helps us understand that the people who implement it have an abusers/manipulator’s understanding of consent.
(Which is par for the course for Silicon Valley/Big Tech.)
@sennoma Guess what made me think of it ;)
@aral Funny you should mention...
@camertron More to the point, I don’t believe in treating adults like children.
@aral lol you must not have children
