very interesting take on dark patterns from someone, who had some experience in live service game www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCkO... #gamedev #darkpattern #fomo #psychology

Lo que no han probado es con un usuario con nombre largo, el scroll horizontal en móvil no es un darkpattern pero también me hace daño.

New #darkpattern #UX stupidity; #Youtube does not allow you when casting a video to a TV, to mute from the client side when an ad is playing.

They really want everyone to start developing better tools to just pirate content off their platform.

Nope. I'll pass EVERY time. This absolute poster-cap for #enshittification , is yet another #UX #darkpattern That makes me want to never give any Alphabet company any money.

De burde ikke ha med den klausulen i det hele tatt. Så enkelt er faktisk det. Det er en darkpattern som i det minste burde bli opplyst om uten at jeg trenger å trykke med inn på personvernerklæringen. Så lenge de ikke opplyser om det så er det basically cold-calling tiggebrev.

Microsoft was sued for using a deceptive dark pattern to raise the price of Microsoft 365 for all customers, it has now issued a public apology. #Microsoft365 #DarkPattern

Es sind zu 100% die alten sie wussen das wenn die Art zu Wirtschaften nicht geändert wird ist das die Kündigung des Generationenvertrags und was haben Sie gemacht?
Den Vertrag gekündigt, den Heuschreckenkapitalismus eingeführt, Ihre Kinder zu Hardcore Kapitalisten erzogen, Darkpattern entwickelt und

Nur, dass ich das richtig verstehe:

Big Tech-Behemoth #microsoft nutzt seit Jahren jeden Trick, #darkpattern s und #toxisches #nagging, um Benutzer auf #windows 11 upgraden zu lassen... und jetzt, wo der Support aufläuft, geht der Upgrade-Mechanismus kaputt?!

Kannst Du Dir nicht ausdenken […]

Why do all the “best VPN” articles recommend the same 5 services?

Because they all come with a check attached.

Real tools don’t pay to be listed. That’s why you’ve never heard of them.

#vpntruth #digitalprivacy #darkpattern

If you're reading a "Top 5 VPNs" list, you're not reading a review — you're reading a paid ad.

None of those sites ever recommend a non-affiliate, no matter how secure it is.

I have to select reasoning and research, then, having forgotten to switch the model, copy the prompt and start a new chat.
If I then don’t choose the model first, but the modes, they will be deactivated after switching model again, so I will have to stop and repeat with modes selected😅. #DarkPattern

Dear $companies,

Please do not send me emails with a subject line like:

"Pending: 3 things"

… when I do not have any actions to do nor do you have any authority to give me actions. It's not cool, it's not clever, it just makes me grumpy.

So, dark pattern cookie banners (among others) finally trained me to instinctively move my mouse to the "Don't Save" option upon closing LibreOffice first.

Thanks, assholes 🤬

Every time I see a "Mix" prefix for a result in my main #Youtube page, I hit "not interested" and the fact that I can't turn that wretched feature off is yet another #darkpattern they seem to have added to its #UX.

Please tell me again why piracy is rising? #Google #WorstPractices #ProdMgmtClowns

Literally impossible to cancel. Inconsistent terminology – My Disney Account vs “Account Settings”, delete account vs delete subscription, bad internal routing. It kept looping me through a 2FA that never sent a code. On several different devices. This is a #darkpattern and obstacle design.

Bij het @dvhn.nl hebben de klikboys de teksten op de knopjes omgewisseld. 'Ga door naar de site' resulteert juist in het pauzeren van de adblocker en dus het toestaan van advertenties. Bij DvhN-dochter @sikkom.bsky.social staan de teksten nog goed, maar voor hoe lang nog? #darkpattern

Only one reason I like a free and open social internet. I mean, this is not even a #darkpattern. It is just confusing so that you at some point think, ok, I'll stay signed/logged in.

56% users lose trust when they face dark patterns. DFS providers risk USD 231 billion in global revenue losses from deceptive designs in #DigitalFinance. They must build ethical + transparent interfaces to protect users & build trust.
