You do realize that what probably happened is the people heard rebate, then just scrolled all the way down to the bottom without reading it, right? It’s the exact reason why EULAs/TOSs aren’t enforceable in Europe, because of that.

Yep, just use enticing words like "rebate" and "smart", and see just how many so-called "intelligent human beings" lap it up without further thought.

Especially if it's accompanied by tons of legalese written in a tiny font that most people can't seem to be able to even see correctly, and consider how many (or rather, few) of them even like to read for fun.

Selling one's soul for a bit of convenience? Yeah, society has been slipping that way for more than a century now, but the beginnings of it are now so normalized, you can't even see them for what they were any more.
