When a website adds one (privacy-preserving) ad to a website, I say “Okay”. Two, I permit it. Three, I say “Easy now” but still scroll through unencumbered. But when the website adds a fifth, seventh, twelfth ad… I know a person who lacks taste is at the wheel. I can feel it in my bones when an app or website has prioritized revenue over user experience. A person without taste or high emotional intelligence broke the unspoken contract we had built on mutual respect.
