    “Maybe later” mostly makes sense. If the options were “Yes” and “No”, people might assume that if they press “No” now, they will never be able to change their minds. For rating an app, that might be acceptable. But for setting up, e.g. a printer, it’s harmful. You want users to know that their choice isn’t set in stone.

      Except I have never encountered a modal with “maybe later” that wasn’t some bullshit product manager’s fever dream. No, they do not get the benefit of the doubt.

      Video games got this figured out, most difficulty screens say something like “Choose your difficulty (you can change the difficulty at any time in Settings)” for instance

      You could also add a checkbox that says “remind me later” or “never show this message again”
