> Dark patterns may help profits in the short-term, but they're terrible for your brand. Just ask TicketMaster. TicketMaster's customers are people selling tickets, not those buying them.

That's why they can get away with using dark patterns to make more money for their customers and themselves - consumers don't have a choice.
