I’ve been on enough sketchy websites to find the real download link
Yes. Just weird for Dropbox to be doing it.
You can modify the url to say dl=1 at the end to bypass it. It will just download the file without having to click anything on the site. Should that be something you can enable on the website instead? Sure.
Thank you
Or continue with download only
I mean, the bypass isn’t exactly hidden.
No, come on. This is a dark pattern. It’s easy for someone technically-inclined, but most users see only the big obvious buttons and skip right over what looks like it could just be an irrelevant footnote at the bottom. My parents would absolutely end up creating accounts and be frustrated about it, but I’m also willing to bet most of my friends who aren’t in tech would do the same.
Oh, Oooh. NOW I SEE IT!
needs few circles around the X in the corner too.
bonus points for subtly hidden dick and balls, though
