  1. 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.

  6. Are year-end summaries a clever way to normalize mass data collection? 📈 From Spotify to Duolingo, companies are gamifying our habits. I’ve written a retrospective on the ethics behind these recaps and the importance of data transparency.

  12. 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?

  13. @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

  25. There seems to be some dark UX cooking with merchants and PayPal's "automatic payments" functionality.

    I checked my PayPal's active subscriptions and noticed following:
    - There are automatic payments for merchants where I wasn't aware of consenting to an automatic payment scheme.
    - I have quite a few active payment subscriptions for services where I have cancelled recurring payments long time ago.

    I'm not aware of abuse of the unnecessary active automatic payments but by principle it sucks that merchants don't protect consumer payment information with expected rigor.

  28. #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. old.reddit.com/r/ThreadsApp/co).

    Disabled notifications with prejudice.
