#2Probably the darkest UX pattern I've seen in a while... It's not spam per say so I'm not sure if this can be reported to the FTC, but it sure is a dirty move. Whoever designed is either evil or had was forced by an evil organization who would do anything to make their stock go up after a rough SPAC introduction.
Does anyone know if this can be reported to a public agency?

seems more like just a bad design

Dark UX Design is bad design on purpose.
If you don't want people unsubscribing, you just add more buttons and make unsubscribing harder to do.

#5I would probably just try document.getElementsByClass('selector').forEach((el) => el.click()) in the console

#6I'm reminded of a similar pattern in Atlassian's email notification preferences -- multiple pages of multiple checkboxes for every product in their portfolio, with no clear "unsubscribe all" option available.

it's never bad to the users benefit. Always works in favor of the corp. I wonder why?

#8Next door is a dreadful system that is so overloaded with advertisements that its almost useless. Im very surprised facebook hasn’t developed a local-focused platform

#9Honestly, email notifications and the concept of "unsubscribing" is a big fad. 9/10 services that I try to unsubscribe to, end up asking confusing questions, and instead of ubsubbing me at once, they will rather ask me which topics I'm interested in.
So much for the email "privacy". I guess I'm better off not giving two shits about it.

#10Just wanted to share that I’ve been using OpenPhone for dealing with text spam, and I really like it so far: https://www.openphone.com/
The only trouble is that some services can verify that the number isn’t a “real” number (how do they do this?!) but it works most of the time.
I’ve slowly been transitioning as much as possible to it. Phone calls even work great, and you can take them right through your laptop.
It doesn’t solve the problem of push notifications, but it’s semi related to the problem of being spammed. (I set my phone to permanent “do not disturb” mode long ago.)
