Do you always read the terms of service and privacy policy?

When you install a software or join a site like Mylot you're supposed to read the terms of service and privacy policy and then click "I agree." In the beginning I used to read everything but it took a really long time, and after a while I installed and joined so many things, that i usually just skim through it in case there's something out of the ordinary, like if they include a different software (adware) with the istallation. So do you actually read everything, just skim through it, or not read it at all?

To be honest, pretty much no. If I want to join, I want to join. There is really no point in reading the terms of service that would likely be either meaningless or ridiculous or both.

I do sometimes if it concerns money, you wouldn't know what you're signing up with totally if you don't read it at least skim it a little, especially the important matters. Never I ignore it, even it doesn't concern money or my credit card informations.

I usually don' read the terms of service and privacy policy of any software, website and other stuff that has them. They software company that distributes them and the website's administrators are more often than not abiding by the regulations and conditions stated in the terms of service tat they provide. It's just one way of fattening their packages but still do nothing to really follow them.

I rarely read them, unless they are short enough to read in a couple of minutes...
