I also don’t appreciate that apparently my opinion doesn’t matter, since “I’m not a resident of the EU” is a required field.

Which it of course is because they want to get past common sense EU regulations restricting their ability to infest people’s devices with malware.

The amount of victim blaming in these comments is pretty weird. “Well duh nobody should answer that poll, everybody knows it’s just a scam to get you signed up for spam”.

Way to miss the point, folks.

I hate to tell you, but answering that poll was absolutely not worth the consent to spam you.

That “I’m not a resident of the EU” forced tick-box is a huge red-flag, and should already have you clicking away from that page.

I love to tell you, but I am aware of all that, which is why I’m happy to report that I followed your advice before getting it.

I’m efficient like that 😁

Good to hear - from your post it looked like you were reporting the aftermath of clicking through all that, which sounded plan unfortunate

Any poll that requires registration is automatically rigged.
