How can this be legal?

De #Consumentenbond klaagt #Booking.com aan voor nepkortingen, verborgen kosten, verzonnen schaarste en #darkpatterns. #Hotels.com van#expedia kan er ook wat van: vaag verschil tussen “verzekeren” en “beschermen”. Smerige manier om een verzekering te verkopen die vaak niks dekt.

Hey Reddit…

…maybe that’s the sign that you pump too many damn ads.

Because the limit you’ve set (5) is pretty damn low given the sheer endless volume you’ve added over the last 12-18 months, which I suspect is nearly an order of magnitude higher.

And it doesn’t make me want to pay for a subscription, because the enshittification pattern was already set far earlier, so you already abrogated the trust much the same way Youtube has.

When the decline actually begins, I suspect nothing you do will […]

I struggle to believe this is real. If it is, stay as far away from Atlassian as you can, as they're now impersonating users to post ads! #atlassian #darkpatterns #wtf

I despise #google AI tools intrusive "help" in my gmail so much. When I turn it off the simplest thing "categories" also gets disabled. Beyond #enshitification and #DarkPatterns, I used to use my own rules and labels for the same thing, but didn't have a need

Now if I turn off AI assistant, my inbox gets cluttered with all the category shit.

Just fuck right off with your productivity AI tools. It's like having a toxic 7 year old telling me I'm doing it wrong.

@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.

#DarkPatterns

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 🙀 #darkpattern #darkpatterns #DeceptivePatterns #deceptivepattern

Today's moment of frustration: navigating the dark patterns that lead you to enter into debt through buying commodities.

I think we should ban lending small amounts, like anything <€1 000.

Want to pay off a new laptop over a few years? Sure, makes sense!

Want to pay your weekly groceries through ten weekly installments? Why on earth is that even an option...

It's just payday loans with extra steps.

@Olivares @edasfr C’est pas faux, mais en même temps il y a plein de #darkpatterns qui font que tu as besoin d’un SAV !!

I suspect that #parentalcontrols are intentionally designed to make it harder for #parents to take any actions that aren't in the tech company's business interests.

I can’t tell if it’s #BadBadUX because it’s deprioritized internally, “tacked on” at the end, or if it’s deliberate #DarkPatterns to confuse and exasperate parents into complying with their monetization goals.

My experience in #PlayStation, #Roblox, #YouTube, #GooglePlay is so bad, it couldn’t be by accident.

Oh, the irony! "Fast fashion" company Shein caught using tactics to slow shoppers down. 🐌 Their app sends up to 12 notifications per day and uses countdown timers to create artificial urgency. Seems their "dark patterns" are more clingy than my evening food demands! 😼 #shopping #darkpatterns
