I don't think that asking for feedback is highly immoral, but that's just imo.


Asking for feedback? Oh, that’s a terribly nice way of framing it.

This is a dishonest filtering mechanism that is deliberately set up to manipulate people. To refer to this as merely asking for feedback is highly disingenuous. You are missing the point.

Asking for feedback is ok. It might be annoying for users to be disturbed by a dialog, but morally there is nothing wrong with it. I don’t think anyone was arguing that.

But this dialog is not merely asking for feedback. It does manipulative filtering.
