I think it’s become fashionable due to how trackers and dark patterns have used JS. But as someone has pointed out, it’s people not the technology...

- pwdisswordfish4 6y agoThis is the second time in as many days where "dark patterns" has been applied in an awkward way in a prominent place. Was there a widely discussed post where "dark patterns" was used in this way, and is the phrase going to become diluted now? It's a useful term, but it's not useful if people start using it the wrong way.
