Even if you've already said "no backups" before, they sometimes prompt you the instant you open Photos with this pop-in. It defaults to "yes" and provides one button. Very easy to hit the button thinking you're just dismissing something.
In the end, it's one tap to enable, but FOUR taps to say no. That's the real dark pattern here.
You have to toggle the switch off, then tap the button, and then it nags you again! You have to tap "no" again, and then you have to press the original "no" button a second time. (The toggle will stay off, though.)
Anytime I see a toggle, I disable it. Don't give a damn what it's for, if the phones asking it's probably trash

Thank you for your purchasing at our Darkest Pattern Store
Wow. I never realized it was this bad for the backups.
This UI design and behavior is clearly predatory.
