Will the Hall of Shame also use Airtable?
Isn't the ad-based business model of this unicorn itself a dark pattern? Or aren't we yet at that stage, and consider "Read the legalese of the privacy policy, and either continue or move on" good enough?
There's opportunity to use open-source, self-hostable Airtable alternative, such as NocoDB [0] or Baserow [1].
As for darkpatterns.org itself. On the Hall of Shame page there are 5 trackers, and on the landing page (due to YouTube embedding) there are 8. But the site lacks a Privacy Policy AFAICS explaining this. Arguably a site about Dark Patterns could be a shining example of not using them, and I think it could well be tracker-free without major concessions.
