Are you sure?

Posted on .

A while ago, a screenshot was making the rounds showing what happens when you try to quit your Facebook account, how they bring up pictures of your girlfriend or grandmother to try to coerce you into staying. It’s the kind of manipulative scam you’d expect from Zuck and crew, but it’s honestly no worse than any other promotion that’s easy to sign up for but hard to leave. Just try canceling your subscription to the New York Times, where you have to actually call a number and talk to a live human being who will all but beg you to stay.

As luck would have it, someone passed along a sneak peak of the new “are you sure?” screen. It seems a touch more aggressive. (Embiggen.)
