That's why bots now mimic users beyond user agents, even going so far as loading page assets and javascript. Unless you're using something like recaptcha V3, it's going to be difficult to detect them, and even that requires

Not sure about dark patterns, but you're talking about magnitudes of tens if not hundreds of thousands of visitors here. Increasing conversion rate by even a few percentage points has huge revenue implications.

Even those types of authority systems can be gamed as well, unless you're also building your own recaptcha pattern analyzer too. The problem with decentralization is that it creates a power vaccuum that is filled by the most interested

That's fair, though app disruption is more impactful - kind of like how websites went down for SOPA.

Oh no it's spot on. You own your phone, so you own the hardware that houses the store, yet the previous owner is still getting exclusivity inside the property you just purchased. And forceably taking a cut from their competition as yo

Which is fine - that's still the consumer's choice. It's a bit different if Costco took away that choice. Even then it's not the same because you don't own the Costco store like you own your phone.

An app shutdown day would be more appropos. Easier to coordinate a deployment for, and affects all users, not just installing one. It would also allow you to control the messaging users see when they open your app and it only loads the wal

The phone is the store in your analogy. You own it. It is yours, yet you do not expect the previous owner to still forceably control the shelf space of your own store. Or exclusively take from your cash register.

You aren't buying the Costco store when you enter, just as you aren't paying a membership fee to use someone else's phone as your own. Members don't own Costco, Costco owns Costco, so Costco can dictate it's own she

A tattoo of just 1488, without any racist symbology, is ambiguous. There is nothing to make it distinctive from any other number. Help me understand what you think an ambigous tattoo of 1488 should look like?

Bestbuy doesn't charge you hundreds of dollars to buy the store before you walk in. Consumers don't own Bestbuy, Bestbuy owns Bestbuy, so it's okay for Bestbuy to control the shelf space in their own stores. It is not okay fo

It's hard because most analogies fall apart when you look at the users having already paid hundreds of dollars just for the hardware up front. You could compare it to Costco, where you have to pay just to get into the store, where Cost

Consumers have already purchased the store, but Apple is still controlling all the shelves inside, and the cash register.
