Dark Patterns
Dark patterns are interface choices crafted to trick you into doing things you did not mean to — spending more, sharing more, or signing up for things you would otherwise decline.
These tricks are not accidents; they are designed, tested, and optimised to beat your attention. A single checkout can stack five of them at once.
