This thread is hilariously off topic. what I was referring to was how clients are commonly built expecting the user to automatically sign every event they request a signature on. or put another way they have no concept of the user reviewing or possibly refusing to sign an event so they tend to randomly ask the user to sign 10+ events in a row without any context to why the events need signing
This generally makes then unusable for me since I normally use all nostr apps in "manual approve" mode where I can review each event it wants me to sign.
The worse offenders are the apps that keep asking me to sign an event or decrypt something even after I've refused, or apps that randomly ask me to sign NIP-42 events while I'm simply browsing global or my timeline
