It’s like a website hiding the cancel button so you don’t leave.

Definition

UI designs that trick users into doing things they might not otherwise do — like subscribing or sharing more than intended.

Einfach erklärt It’s like a website hiding the cancel button so you don’t leave.

Warum das wichtig ist

Why it matters: Dark patterns manipulate your behavior and often sacrifice your privacy for company profit.

Beispiel

Example: A newsletter sign-up form with a tiny 'no thanks' link and a big 'yes' button is a dark pattern.
