Ask HN: Why does DocuSign auto scroll to the next signature page?

2 points by tqi ↗ HN
I get that it helps with completion rate, but seems to be purposely hostile toward the user actually reading the any of terms to which they are agreeing.

How is it hostile?
Because the idea is that people should read contracts before signing them. Instead, DocuSign is making it easier to just blast through and sign the contract.
I see what you mean. How much is it people representing themselves vs. other lawyers? Like I could see people trusting their own representation and speeding through signatures.
I read the whole doc first. Normal scrolling works. Then I use the auto scroll to speed up signing and to ensure I didn’t miss a signature.
