A Dark Pattern is a user interface that has been carefully crafted to
trick users into doing things, such as buying insurance with their
purchase or signing up for recurring bills.
Normally when you think of “bad design”, you think of the creator as
being sloppy or lazy but with no ill intent. This type of bad design
is known as a “UI anti-pattern”.
Dark Patterns are different – they are not mistakes, they are
carefully crafted with a solid understanding of human psychology, and
they do not have the user’s interests in mind.
