See anything that might make you hesitate to comply with the nice big "Click to Play Now!" button? Even if you aren't aren't particularly interested in this sort of thing, you might be tempted to go "what the hell" and give it a try.
Unless you look very, very closely a little further down:
The key sentence, which I zoomed in on here, is "Click here if you don't wish to invite your contacts automatically." That was what alerted me to the fact that clicking the gigantic red button would automatically invite all of my Twitter contacts. I have no desire to spam people, and the only reason I'm aware of this thing is because one of my contacts probably didn't see this happy little disclaimer himself.
Talk about annoying. I don't see things like this going away any time in the foreseeable future, unfortunately. The fight for attention brings many benefits in its wake, but it turns out, unfortunately, that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
