Preferred by whom though? The authors of the article preferred "dark patterns" — probably as something more commonly used in their circles.
- madeofpalk 3y agoDark patterns is still a euphemism used to soften the blow of straight up deceptive and manipulative interfaces.
- eli 3y agoThe IETF for one https://github.com/ietf/terminology/pull/9 https://github.com/ietf/terminology/pull/9 My intent wasn't to appeal to authority though. I think Deceptive Patterns is just plain better. A term being popular doesn't prove it is precise or inoffensive.
