I suspect the direction to employ dark patterns comes from the top.
- hayst4ck 3y agoYes, professional ethics means rejecting unethical things from the top.
- rapind 3y agoSemantics I guess. The way you worded it just seems like a bunch of machiavellian UX designers brought these dark patterns to management who were simply ethically negligent. All I'm saying is that I suspect the UX staff were directed to do this or at least to drive installs through "whatever means necessary".
