Do you believe in psychological studies? Dark UI patterns?
Denying these things doesn't make it less true. People take the lowest effort route to the end goal.
- paulcole 9y agoDark patterns don’t “make” people pirate. Pirating is the act of saying, “I want something I don’t have the rights to have.” And then taking it. Period. There’s no way to rationalize immoral unethical behavior by hiding behind “psychological studies” and “dark UI patterns”.
- AFNobody 9y agoYou seem to think I'm rationalizing the morality of the act by pointing out the morality/ethics is really just another thing humans bend on when the incentives change. If you want to argue incentives are fictional because "morality", I think we aren't going to have a productive discussion.
