“Atten­tion­Trust is a not-for-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion that puts the user in con­trol of their Atten­tion data. Until now, only com­pa­nies on the oth­er side of our click­ing cap­tured the value.”

‘“User expe­ri­ence” is a neu­tral term, in and of itself. It’s some­thing that just exists, that just hap­pens. Label­ing it as a good UX or a poor UX or a manip­u­la­tive UX is need­ed to clar­i­fy what type of expe­ri­ence we are talk­ing about.’
