The unsubscribe confirmation screens are always like. “ARE YOU SURE??? THIS MIGHT BE A MISTAKE. IF YOU MADE AN ACCIDENTAL MISTAKE YOU CAN UNDO IT HERE!!!”.

You know why I’m here, you annoying fuck.

    Not to mention some of the confirmation pages are intentionally setup to confuse people into resubscribing. The text will be like “we’re so sorry to see you go. If this was a mistake, press the big blue ‘CLICK HERE’ button to resubscribe, otherwise click the small print ‘close’ button that looks like plain text to continue.” And again, some % of people are just not gonna pay that much attention and click the button that jumps out at them rather than reading the full text of the page.

      I was intern at a company and the tasked me to design their e-commerce, when i made the button for deleting stuff from the cart i made it a red trash can, i showed it to my boss and he said “make it the same color as the other buttons, otherwise people notice it too much and we lose money” that pissed me off a little, not only it was harder to spot and ruined the design choice, it also was decided with the intent of deceiving people…
