Most of the ones shown in this article aren’t really the best examples of Dark Patterns IMO. This trick Facebook Messenger uses to get your phone contacts is a good example of how bad these things really are: https://medium.com&#

The point is it looks a lot better than several nested function calls, especially when the order of the calls are important. In JS you can do stuff like this: const rules = parsedTags .split(';') .map(item => item
