Even more evil, I've started to see things (mostly apps) use "Miss Out" instead of No, explicitly and literally feeding FOMO.


Things like that are a clear and obvious indicator that whoever is producing it are scumbags and shouldn't be trusted even a little. I never feel FOMO from them.


Even traditionally legitimate sites are doing it more often now, unfortunately. Still, I view it as neediness or manipulation though and it makes me think less of the site.
