It's pretty telling of how much my nervous system has been trained by the web that I felt the urge to click, immediately countered by my red flag detectors, on the button illustrating the Wikipedia page for Dark Pattern (UX)

张殿李Hey, software pushers. Wanna know why everybody hates your products?
It's because of stuff like this.
If you're receiving spam marketing emails from #Spectrum and/or #Charter communications and they won't stop, even after "unsubscribing", go here to report them to the FTC for abuse: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/

@lucajunge @tagesschau So, gerade nochmal geprüft. Vor 3 Tagen auf „Übernehmen“ gedrückt und jetzt wieder den Dialog zu sehen bekommen.
Definitiv ein #DarkPattern in der Tagesschau App. 
Long article sur la "Komootisation" : WHEN WE GET KOMOOTED https://bikepacking.com/plog/when-we-get-komooted/
il aborde les différentes aspects de l'histoire de Komoot vendu du jour au lendemain à une entreprise qui à viré 80% des salariés dans la foulée.
BIKEPACKING.com · When We Get KomootedFollowing the sale of Komoot to private equity, Josh Meissner explores the broken relationship between corporate capital and our communities...
#Komoot jetzt nicht nur voll mit Fehlern, sondern auch #DarkPattern. Wie kann man diesen Dialog schließen (der kommt eh jedes mal)?

Crazy was sich die comdirect erlaubt. Und on top das Rumgelüge von wegen "optimales Website-Erlebnis". Als ob Tracker und andere Wanzen ein besseres "Website-Erlebnis" ermöglichen würden. Der "Alle akzeptieren" Button ist natürlich in gelb und größer als die anderen, in grau gehaltenen Buttons. Ist das noch Bank?
This is a #DarkPattern IMO.
Liebe @tagesschau, ich möchte keine Push-Nachrichten erhalten, weder jetzt, noch irgendwann später.
Warum nutzt die Tagesschau-App dieses #DarkPattern (#Nagging)? Warum gibt es keine Option, welche diese Frage dauerhaft mit Nein beantwortet?

One #DarkPattern in #Android is how accounts are setup and give #Google apps pretty much all permissions out of the box, whereas third party apps need to have permissions manually enabled - warning dialogues and all.
You could suffice with telling the user what permissions the app needs before installing - like the #Apple app store or #Flathub does.
Gestern beim Stadtpark Open Air Kinderkonzert folgende Perle gesehen.
Möge der Urheber bis ans Ende seiner Tage auf Legosteine treten.
Mich interessierend:
Gibt sowas am Ende wirklich mehr Trinkgeld für Angestellte?
Oder verdient hier nur ein Middle-Men was passiv mit?
#darkpattern #ecterminal #trinkgeld
(N.B.: Es gab Trinkgeld, aber analog, ins da stehende Schweinschen...)
Wieso ist so ein Blödsinn eigentlich erlaubt?

@lolgop I support this idea and I will probably sign the petition (I’m a TM customer. Still mulling over whether I want to support Verizon or AT&T instead).
I support #TeslaTakedown and participated in one of their protests. But look at how scummy this petition is.
First I notice that they inform me that I “may receive” email from a bunch of groups. That’s weird because it implies uncertainty.
Then I notice this microscopic, grey-on-grey text that says “edit subscription preferences”. I haven’t signed in to this site, so how do I even have any preferences to edit? I tap it and it expands to an already-opted-in list of ELEVEN different orgs who will all feel entitled to spam me because they will point to this as the time I affirmatively opted in to receive all their emails.
How many petition signers even see that, much less click it? This is a #DarkPattern and this is really slimy. The ONLY way to be slimier would be to opt me in without even telling me.
The word “preferences” is plural, implying I have more than one preference. In practice my choice is to accept email from all 11 or none. It’s a single preference, hidden from view as much as possible.
So I've noticed that it's really hard to unfollow twitch streamers, both in the app and on the web. If you open the app, it plays some video, if you tap on the streamer you want to unfollow, it immediately shows a video, the unfollow button is shown briefly and is immediately replaced by chat. I'm 100% sure that this is on purpose to send you more notifications, never less and I hate it! #darkpattern #twitch
I logged back into #pinterest recently after reading about how it's gaining popularity again. Check out how the push and email notification toggles are all hidden behind accordions

@LunaDragofelis @gulli @fuchsiii worse even:
- They do this kind of shit - just like other #DarkPattern|s like constantly nudging people into agreeing with their tracking bs - REGARDLESS if one uses #TorBrowser and disables all #Cookies & #JavaScript or logs into a #YouTube account on #GoogleChrome.
So yet another reason I use https://inv.nadeko.net on #Firefox, cuz there's way less bs and it's recommendations ain't full of racist & facist #RageBait & #ClickBait!

I managed to get a video of this dark pattern. 12 seconds in you can finally see the faint "skip" button pop in. First I have to click the 'What's happening under the hood?" link. Then I have to leave the explanation on the screen for a while, then skip appears.

@DamonHD soundclouds "leave me alone" button is desperately far away from it's parent container... #darkpattern
Here's a nice #darkpattern from #AmazonQDeveloper. Installing it on my #debian laptop and it pops up this GUI. Now, grey text on white background is a completely pedestrian dark pattern.
The thing that is new for me, that isn't obvious from a single screenshot, is that the "skip" grey text doesn't appear at all for like 10-20 seconds. When you first see this dialog box, there's no 'skip' button. This might lead you to believe it isn't possible to skip. I tend to read things that pop up. And so while I was reading the skip button appeared.
Thanks #darkpatterns
