/r/Clickshaming
When options are deliberately worded in a way that implicitly or explicitly suggests that you're a sucker or an asshole for clicking whichever option is undesired by its creator.
Clickshaming is when you are given options (such as accept and decline, unsubscribe, and exit) that are deliberately loaded in their wording so as to suggest, implicitly or explicitly, that you're an asshole, sucker, or coward for picking whichever option was undesired by its creator.

Am I the only one who really feel bad when I have to unsubscribe/delete account/etc...
I mean I know that refusing mails won't make a puppy sad, I know that uninstalling a program won't make the developer sad, I know using an adblocker won't starve a doggo... But cmon.... Sometime it's so hard I just can't (or it would (really) ruin my day)...
I honestly don't know what to think about that, they want (and need) money but they're using the worst way. But it's okay because they need money. But still, it's not okay to use sensible people for that, but they actually need that money..... Fuck ....
It's horrible and I can't / don't want to blame them.
Anyone else feel that?
PS: at least I don't give a shit about "no, I don't want to be smarter and learn Chinese"
PPS : if you somehow can help me, well.. thank you!
