Marketing should always be OPT-IN by default, but these extra steps to opt out is truly asshole design.

Oh, and on the opt-out confirmation screen, you get two options: Yes or No. The button colour for "yes" is white, and the “no” button matches the “save” button on the previous screen, so it's easy to accidentally cancel the opt-out. Double-asshole design!

Nope. They get more profits if they do it this way, or even if they do not, the manager in charge WANTS it this way or else it would be different. Wishing otherwise does not make it so, unfortuantely:-(.
