Genuinely never read them fully, scroll to the bottom and click accept like I'd guess most people do, and I think about that habit uncomfortably more than I act on it

Curious if anyone actually reads these things properly, and if you've ever actually caught something genuinely concerning buried in the fine print by doing so

Never read a single one fully, the length alone is clearly designed to discourage actually reading it and it works perfectly on me every single time

I skim the data collection sections specifically now after getting burned once by an app selling more information than I'd realized I agreed to

Use a tool that summarizes terms of service agreements now, at least gives me a fighting chance of catching the concerning parts without reading the whole thing

Never read them, and honestly I've made peace with the fact that meaningfully understanding every service I use would take an unreasonable amount of my actual life

Click accept immediately every single time, the reality is there's usually no meaningful alternative anyway if you actually want to use the service at all

Read them for anything financial specifically, everything else I click through without a second thought, have to draw the line somewhere realistically

Storm

Started reading more carefully after a specific privacy scandal a few years back, changed some of my app choices once I actually saw what I'd been agreeing to
