    I once got out of doing an assignment in computer class in highschool by insisting that I read the TOS of the relevant program before I could begin, which I couldn’t get through by the end of the period

      I’ve done this too, really pissed off the teacher. She told me to just click agree and I said my lawyer told me to never sign a contract without reading it

          well, software TOS is shit, you’re right to not trust it

          just look at Disney+ or Uber

      By agreeing to let me use your software you agree to send me $10,000/week and deliver a pony to me on my next birthday.

    I did this for a month, the plan was to do it for a year, there is no reasonable way to exist like this.

      It’s not exactly the same, but I tried to read the YouTube TOS before creating an account when I was 12-ish years old. I printed them out and read them before going to bed, but then I got bored of it and stopped after less than a quarter of it.
