This is a dark pattern and will infuriate both your abusers and legitimate users.
- nojito 5y agoNot really. All the big SAAS offerings utilize this pattern. It’s one of the best ways to get a nice core group of dedicated users that will help you iterate.
- viraptor 5y agoYes they do. They use the dark patterns. That doesn't make them good.

- splatzone 5y agoI think I’d only consider it dark if my card was going to be charged. If the app admitted it was just to verify that I’m a real person, for security reasons, I’d be fine with it.
- mkl 5y agoThe problem is you don't know if your card is going to be charged. It's too easy for companies to hide things in long terms of service click-throughs, or for users to misunderstand new services, or for companies to charge cards "by accident". I'm certainly pretty doubtful that I completely understand what I'm agreeing to with a new company. The simplest safest solution is to not give them your card.
