Unpopular opinion, but as a developer I'm OK with using dark patterns for a certain projects when it comes to pricing, but not to churn prevention. In niches with low margins and high competition, dark patterns are one of the few chances to survive and make money (ticket aggregators, hotel aggregations) The user can pay $10 or $15 depends on how you communicate the value almost with the same set of features. However, for the product, the difference affects the business model and the unit economy dramatically. Of course, subscription cancelling penalties sucks and should be ban.
