Amazon Checkout. This should be illegal.
(lemmy.one)
That is not 2 separate buttons on the right, like I initially thought clicking through checkout.
I would still say it's an asshole design. They are trying to copy a well established internet Design Trend where a 'Not Now' sort of a button is slightly greyed out near the advertisement. I would assume the next trick would be to sneakily add the prime fees in the total and some unsuspecting user would fall for it. Not to mention, the whole fiasco of how hard Amazon made it to cancel the prime subscription. Fuck these companies.
Nah, next is, you must watch three one minute ads and answer 10 questions about the content of the ads correctly to continue without prime and there will be a captcha displayed under the questions, which will be timed out after question 10 and you will have to start over from video one to get another try. However, when the server notices your IP already got the ad once, it will throttle the bandwidth, so the video buffers every 3 seconds. When you finally made it to the checkout, some items became unavailable or slightly more expensive and you have to go back to the basket to update it.
You need to be banned from working in web design lol
It’s not possible to know from this screenshot alone if “Cancel Anytime” is a clickable target or if it’s just text, but when taking a quick glance at least to my eyes the options seem pretty clearly delineated.
Amazon sucks and they are plenty predatory, I’m just saying this is a pretty mild example of hostile UI if at all.
