Dark patterns are taking over everywhere
Almost as bad as the “Enable new feature? / Not now” options
No, NOT not now; never. Never.
I’m sick of this fucking button “choice”.
Feels like that guy with rapey vibes who won’t take no for an answer.
“You say no now but you’ll come around eventually.”
Ew, no.
“Would you like to disable the ‘Not Now’ option?”
[ Not Now ] [ Just Once ]
[ Remind me later ]
OMFG, the “not now” option (also disguised as an “ask later” button) makes me want to break things. I’m seeing this happening everywhere!
Load up an app? REVIEW THIS APP! (YES/NOT NOW)
Log into your bank account? SIGN UP FOR E-BILLING! (YES/ASK LATER)
Want to order something online? SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER!! (OK/REMIND ME LATER)
Want to pay your utility bill? RATE OUR SERVICE! (OK/REMIND ME LATER)
🤬
Would anyone ever actually fall for this?
“Well I’ve clicked the button now, might as well put my card info in I guess!”
Exactly! It’s a lose-lose situation. Even if you misclick, then you’ll realize you’ve been conned.
