My bank gives me the option to opt out of marketing communications. It takes three clicks to opt out of each category, and there are three pages like this! (lemmy.ca)

Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.

Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for "yes" is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it's easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!

Maybe Samsung removed it in favor of their own app pauser.

This is what I see on a normal Pixel phone

Personally I don't have much issue with it, as I usually uninstall apps that my phone points out are going unused. In reality, I want zero apps and to just use the mobile web for everything but that's not possible due to dark patterns.
