Cancel like Easter egg hunt?
One tap sub, maze to quit.
Hidden button, endless confirm.
Not service—mind game.
Your fee should be equity, not eternal slavery.

Die «Dark Pattern» bei der Online-Physiotherapie Statt he­raus­zu­fin­den, warum meine Schul­ter schmerzt, habe ich mich von Physio­test.ch fast in eine Abo­fal­le locken lassen.

Ein prächtiges Exemplar eines #DarkPattern: Nach einem langen Test auf der Wensite #PhysiotestCH wird man gewahr, dass es das Resultat nur bei Abschluss eines Probeabos gibt. Das Gefühl: Abzocke statt Fürsorge. #Clickomaniach

Screenshot of the Amazon app Returns Center page.

Under “How can we make it right?” a product thumbnail of a light green athletic sneaker appears with a “Details” dropdown link. A “FREE Shipping” label appears above the primary option.

Available radio buttons:
	1.	Selected (filled) radio button next to “Replace with the exact same item.” Text explains Amazon will ship a replacement at no extra charge. Beneath it is an unchecked checkbox stating: “I agree to send the original item(s) back by Mar 22, 2026 or I will be charged the original item price using Visa ending in [masked digits], or another payment method in my account.” A “Use a different card” dropdown link appears below.
	2.	Unselected (empty) radio button next to “Advance refund to your Amazon account balance.”
	3.	No radio button, but a blue text link below: “Advance refund to your Visa ending in [masked digits].”

A large yellow “Continue” button appears below these options.

Doing a return on #Amazon and encountering a #DarkPattern.
There’s no radio button to have funds returned to my credit card. I thought I could only get Amazon credit or a replacement.

Luckily, I clicked to “Advance refund to your Visa ending in XXXX.” Only then did I get a radio for that option

Aggressive dark pattern by Blablacar : When you search, it opens a new tab and redirects your original tab to an affiliate partner. A sneaky move that traps users and erodes trust. #DarkPattern #UX

Why does the YouTube app on iOS dump me straight into shorts when I launch it? I don’t want this and the question is rhetorical. YouTube wants you to spend your dopamine on their algorithm. #darkpattern

Screenshot of a medicine refill web page. It says "Active Medications" and shows a redacted medicine with some details like 150mg time-release 12 hours, 90-day supply, 1 fill remaining. There's a button labeled "Buy with discount program $31.10". There is also a clear button in the middle that says "Get Insurance Price"

Screenshot of the same screen, only now where the "get insurance price button" used to be, it says "$0.00 with insurance, fastest delivery tomorrow Feb 11" and a standard "add to cart" button.

Wanna see an obnoxious #darkpattern? This pisses me off.

When I go to my online pharmacy to refill a medicine, I see the medicine, doasage, refills, etc. and an opportunity to pay $31 using the "discount program." If I want to, I can click a button to "Get […]

Agree that opt out bs is a dark pattern to be avoided unless it is quantitatively known that a vast majority of people using the thing want the new feature.

I made something and you are going to use it mentality is part of enshitification.

LLM “intelligence” is a dark pattern LLMs leverage scaffolding and user psychology to appear as slabs of raw intelligence in service of a costly illusion.

(2/6) #LLM “intelligence” is a #darkpattern

The defining feature of LLMs is that they’re a “dark pattern” hiding the idea that a mind’s on the other end. Unlike good tech, there’s no affordance that promotes intended use. This is a hammer without a handle.

(2/6) #LLM “intelligence” is a #darkpattern. I argue that the defining feature of LLMs is that they’re a structured “dark pattern” meant to launder the idea that a mind’s on the other side.

To that end, unlike any good technology, there’s no affordance that promotes any intended use. That […]

Es gibt zwei Buttons:
Zuerst "Jetzt bestätigen und Infos erhalten", in hellem Grün 
dann ein längerer Text zum Datenschutz und
weiter unten (je nach Fenstergröße gar nicht sichtbar) der Button "Jetzt bestätigen und keine Infos erhalten"  in maximal unauffälligem Hellgrau.

#AmazonPrime has upcoming charge reminders turned off by default, an intentional "dark pattern" designed to catch users off guard and lock in that next month’s charge

At Amazon’s scale, small decisions like this can translate into millions, if not billions, in retained revenue

#LLMs stand on our shoulders to become giants, using our data and an army of underpaid workers.

Then, at runtime entire subsystems must be maintained to ensure these things work. All of this is in service of the #darkpattern that models alone are intelligences.
