I almost clicked it too. There has to be a better way than having to be constantly vigilant against being duped into “consenting” to be spied upon. The internet doesn’t have to suck like this.

    I deeply resent how much of my brain is occupied with sidestepping sneaky bullshit like this. It’s gotten to the point where I generally don’t use a website if I can’t use it without going through their dark patterns permissions labyrinth. I only put up with going through this one because I was researching turtles and there’s a paper cited on Wikipedia I just cannot find.
