Yeah, definitely a user-hostile experience. You can see this dark pattern everywhere. Amazon hides items that are out of stock by default, which is especially annoying if you attempt grocery shopping on Amazon Fresh. If I can boil it down t

Oh...no...this MML is XML-based markup (read: not practical for use by humans), not the same as Music Macro Language.

The typo is "Mediation" instead of "Meditation", I think.
