Catalog of Dark Patterns

Wrote Claudia Dawson: 

The Dark Patterns Hall of Shame was created by a team of researchers and designers to raise awareness about manipulative design techniques used by companies and websites. 

There are lots of visual examples of dark patterns — including hard-to-cancel subscriptions, hidden costs, nagging, and tricky wording. 

I wasn't at all surprised to see Amazon Audible as a repeat offender.Although it's called a "Hall of Shame," the aim isn't just to call out bad companies. 

The website serves as a cautionary guide, offering suggestions for better approaches, examples of what to avoid, and explanations of what isn't a dark pattern (and why).
