> Is urgency really a dark pattern? To me it seems like basic sales and is present on everything from TV infomercials (buy now, limited stocks, only for the next 15 minutes + operators standing by) to brick and mortar sales that only last until the end of the week. Those are dark patterns too. In many places such scams are illegal. It's a bit sad how people have started to just accept the pervasive and fundamental dishonesty and inefficiency of the market.
