Terms of Service: Does anyone read them before clicking accept?

I never read them, but never forget that the terms of service are actually legally binding.

Eh, what's the point lol. I feel like they try to confuse you. It doesn't take 500 words to say "Don't give this out to people"

FWIW, not all ToS agreements are "long" as well. Take this page from a higher education institution on network usage:

To quote (or at least paraphrase, I'm doing this from memory) John Oliver:

"Apple could put the entire text of Mein Kampf in their user agreement and no one would notice"

Couldn't have put it better myself. No one gives a flying fuck about that shit, unless if some sort of situation that warrants actually reading it arises. But nobody will actually do that. It's a waste of everyone's time.

Only if it's worth reading.

I'd rather read an actual novel, rather than a wannabe novel like the ToS

I never read em... They are uninteresting and sometimes long enough to take some days to read it :p

only Pokemon shuffle I read.

The rest of them I skip it.

After I watched a South Park episode when I was thirteen or fourteen where Kyle gets turned into a human centipede because it was in the terms of service and he never read them, I read all the terms of service from front to back for a good month afterwards.

Then I realized you could just command-F and search for words like "kidnap" or "surgery" or "human centipede" and I didn't have to do all that work.

Nowadays I mostly skim it to get the general idea. It's usually the same "don't sell this to other people" kind of stuff so it's nothing too ground breaking.

No, however I once saw some film about the tos and how it is generally applied to the general user, hilariously one tos/Eula had in agreement that they would own the users soul if they agreed
