Perhaps it's simply not feasible at the price point users are willing to pay?
1. Use fewer services. This limits the amount you have to read or worry about changes.
2. Of the services you use, limit the personal information you provide. Disposable emails and making up names and birthdates (when they are mandatory) all help. Only do this for services where you don’t care if your account is closed. Particularly impactful for those services which make it a pain to delete an account.
3. Don’t read the full TOS. They are legal documents organised in logical sections so skip the fluff and go to the ones you care about like the handling of your data. As you read more TOS, you’ll become better at detecting the patterns and won’t need more than a couple of minutes to read what’s important to you.
4. The Privacy Policy is often more important than the TOS, regarding what will truly affect you. Start with that.
5. Always open TOS and Privacy Policy links, even if you’re not going to read them. You might be surprised to find how many of them are broken links. That’s usually the sign of a shadier company that you should skip.
It should be illegal.
That would mean 600 TOS, which means you’re not following points 1 and 2. Furthermore, as soon as you find anything objectionable, you stop reading. After the first couple of them you don’t need 10 minutes.
> It should be illegal.
There have been instances of unenforceable TOS, and some countries are pushing for contracts to have mandatory summaries of each section. Find out about it in your country and see how you can help.
Could be nice way to fight back fire with fire
Because having seen what the state-of-the-art AI use is across the industry, that is what vast majority will be doing. Hell, Atlassian enabled their "AI magic" integration to all accounts recently and they send it all to OpenAI. Yes, I read through their terms. That detail was hidden behind three steps of discovery from their main AI use terms.
I hit the disagree button and “nothing” happened as in I could just play the game normally.
I sometimes wonder what that was about.
TOS should be illegal.
Imagine if you had to agree to ToS while entering at Cosco.
Or if you actually had to read 9hours of a legal doc to shop at wallmart.
