Try applying this rule to any popup modals, calls-to-action, and other unsolicited software interactions: Identify the button decorated as "primary" and click the other button instead.

I wonder how many modals use the fine-print button, or even an X, as the primary one, having trained so many users to instantly close modals by searching for those.
