A great unpacking of dark patterns but it's not exactly like you'll accidentally build them yourself.
- cuu508 3y agoYou can accidentally lull yourself into thinking a particular pattern is not so bad when everyone does it and growth hackers recommend it with a straight face. Calling them out removes [any potential] ambiguity.
- Version467 3y agoI actually wouldn’t be too sure about that. Some dark patterns have become so ubiquitous that a new developer might just think that that’s the way to implement certain features.
- FinnKuhn 3y agosome of them look like someone just didn't think it all the way through, for example the nextdoor email unsubscribe switch would have been clear had it been a checkbox or with clearer wording, but only in combination it is unclear.
