Imagine you walk into a store and before you can look aroung at what's availble to buy, someone stops you and insist you give them some personal information that includes your phone number, address and email address. Would you bother with this, or would you invite the solicitor to piss off?
This situation has become the norm on the internet. Not only do most website trying to sell you something insist on collecting such data, many also compel you to watch a commercial of some sort before you can actually get to what you're looking for.
I find this particularly repulsive. I make a point of boycotting any product associated with such coercion. I can only hope that enough other like-minded folks will do the same so that perhaps this offensive practice will cease.
