@jwcph a dark pattern? It is way cheaper for the company that is paying for Zendesk to put friction for the user if they decide to call.
Try to find how to get out of a service or contract within a help desk system: sometimes is comically evil how far they will go to obfuscate the solution.

The new Google Antigravity IDE app forces you to opt in to tracking and data training. The button remains disabled until the box is selected, though they claim you can opt out later in settings.
They force the opt-in knowing most people won't read it or bother to opt out. This is a dark UX pattern.

Emma Thompson 👇🏽 is all of us who are pissed off by the constant nags to use #AI while we are busy writing or coding – just let us be 😠:

Well, well, well. Amazon's going to trial over allegations they 'tricked' users into Prime with 'dark patterns.' The FTC wants to ban these sneaky tactics. Turns out, that 'Are you sure you want to cancel?' page might have been more than just bad UX. What's the sneakiest 'dark pattern' you've encountered online?

@mayintoronto @mcc Google search results are complete rubbish right now. I don’t even know why would anyone care about SEO anymore.
I’ve seen so many Google Search summaries that end up giving the wrong information. The user would only realize that when clicking to the linked source.
They put sort off a footnote link that only takes users to a side column that further distances them from the source. Why not link directly to the source? #darkux #UX

PSA: The URLs generated by #Instagram when you want to share content from it are unique to you & reveal your account to non-followers (see https://help.instagram.com/2599848706833869). 🧐
If you’re worried about your #privacy, beware of this #DarkUX. 😓

#Threads has these stupid "Started a thread" #notifications, which are so irritating. Some PM wanted to drive "engagement", I guess.
There seems to be no way of turning them off (e.g. https://old.reddit.com/r/ThreadsApp/comments/19b18p4/is_there_a_way_to_disable_user_started_a_thread/).
Disabled notifications with prejudice.

How long does it take to say no to sharing any unnecessary data when browsing a web page? 3 minutess and 45 seconds it turns out. A little longer on a phone.
Or, seen from the ones creating this mess: "Consent to tracking and sharing data by not enough time to disagree"

بدأت الإجازات الصيفية و أيضا حمى الحجوزات والمشتريات كمستهلكين، لكن هل تعرفون الوجه الخفي لتصميم واجهة المستخدم لمواقع #الويب المصممة خصيصًا لخداع المستخدمين؟ مع تحيات #نايلةالصليبي

@MoiraEve @k2za @evannakita Yup! And sometimes they turn themselves back on during an update! #DarkUX #ConstantVigilance!

Sadly, I have reentered the crazy #UX world of #Windows after having bought a cheap #laptop – seriously considering installing #Linux instead, to escape these annoyances 🤢:

Quora totally doing @darkpatterns bullshit when you try to unsubscribe.
To the spam filter they go. #darkux #darkpattern

Then: “Home” shoved down your throat, even if you repeatedly choose “Latest Tweets”.
Now: “For You” instead of “Following”.
#WTF #Twitter? Why can’t you respect the user’s choice? 😠
Your #recommendations are #toxic.

Another reason I stopped buying #HP kit. "The HP Smart App forces you to agree to use only their ink before you can use their app...after you've printed a bunch of pages, they stop working and display the error message "Printer setup incomplete. Your HP+ printer must be set up using the HP Smart app. Visit 123.hp.com to download the app and complete the guided setup. Any pages you have printed were intended for setup and have been exhausted." #darkUX

Are you on Twitter? Do you assume that public stuff you post can be enjoyed by all?
Just so you are aware, this is what I have to do to look at things on Twitter:
- Go to some profile: big banner asking me to join Twitter covers the whole thing. Tap the cross.
- Expand a tweet: same banner is back… BUT: tapping the cross takes you BACK to the precious page. No, to actually see the tweet and replies, you have to RELOAD the page.This is the perpetual dance. Every single page.

@frsilicon D'habitude on demande avant non ? C'est bizarre de l'imposer comme ça. Vous avez peur qu'on refuse ? Vous préférez qu'on oublie de les désactiver ? Pas cool pour vos lecteurs.
