"even when told it is one on HN" I think this is an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy. https://www.thoughtco.com/logical-fallacies-appeal-to-authority-250336 https://www.thoughtco.com/logical-fallacies-appeal-to-author... Is there a reasonable list of "dark patterns" that this tactic in the OP falls into? I don't doubt it is a dark pattern.
