Why is silicon valley getting more passive aggressive and hostile? Now dismissal dialogs day "maybe later" instead "no thanks", and product features are becoming non optional opt ins like this. Stop and think before you implement something like this and push back on your boss.

I think sometimes less confident users see a "No Thanks" as "Not Ever," and are worried they'll disable something. "Maybe Later" communicates the choice isn't permanent and they can come back to it later if they want.

I see "Maybe Later" as "we'll force it on you sooner or later", because that's what it often means in reality.

then there should be three options:

0) Yes.

1) No means no.

2) Not right now
