Do opt-ins have to be full of choices and hassle? Can we use a “default” approach to make it frictionless but meet legal requirements? Yes. “Sir, are you a member of our Sears/K-mart (whatever it’s called),” says the cashier at Sears. “No,” I replied, ensuring that the tone conveyed my absolute disinterest in signing up…

HappySlip, the 5th most subscribed YouTuber, is selling her videos via DVD. To give you an idea of the affinity between the former New Yorker and her fans, I’ll remind you of when I broke into her apartment and stole her stapler. I later auctioned it on eBay and it raised more than $850 for…

Nalts – I will assume you are not getting enough sleep? I can think of at least 3 reasons that this post is in poor taste.
As I hit send and got in my car, I thought about that. I even remembered the Steve Irwin moment (which I think you flagged). So you’re my designated taste editor. Sometimes I’m too edgy.
In this case, the joke was supposed to be on bashing Steve for reminding us that there’s other news besides YouTube/Google. What was supposed to come across was self-depricating humor depicting me as caring about nothing else and resenting anyone that does.
