The term "dark pattern" is a bit of a misnomer and too soft. How about we just say what it is - manipulation, misdirection, and sometimes outright fraud.

- rapnie 5y agoAn alternative term is Deception Pattern. Might communicate better that they are often intentional.. i.e. with the intent to deceive.
