Your thoughts?

]]> By: nice article https://www.90percentofeverything.com/2013/07/23/the-slippery-slope/#comment-484830 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 23:26:13 +0000 http://www.90percentofeverything.com/?p=6596#comment-484830 Excellent article! All examples were great, except the Apple argument. There are subtleties that you may not be considering. Fact: any web company can track anyone or anything they are able to without legal repercussion. Apple is aiming to help create a system where the user has some control in this, and is doing it ahead of the government sticking their nose in (and possibly making things worse.) Without pointing out that “You are being tracked like crazy right now, but we want to help create an ON/OFF switch for you, and help coerce other companies into using it”, Apple has to convince their advertisers that they won’t be missing out on anything by joining up with this new ON/OFF switch choice, and will actually help create goodwill with their customers. And, if Apple made it easy for us to click NO, it would result in no advertisers choosing to join this new ON/OFF system. So, they are purposefully hiding it for now, to get everyone into the ON/OFF system first, and then later letting us know we have the choice to turn it off.
They need to get everyone, including the advertisers, onto the new system first, and then they can tell us we have a way to turn it off. If they don’t first accomplish that, then we NEVER have a way to turn it off. So, you are suggesting that Apple is being evil, but I am suggesting they are trying to be the good guys.
And no, I do not work for Apple.

Ryanair immediately comes to mind while reading this white things in UI such as an insurance opt-out in the middle of the list where you’re supposed to tell the insurer(which util this point you thought wasn’t mandatory and suddenly seems) which country do you live in. There, amidst something like Norway and Portugal, you have a “country” called I-don’t-want-to-take-on-this-insurance. This happens then throughout the whole flight booking process. They’re really agressively playing against you. But then again, it’s part of their business model to charge on any slight irresponsibility a user commits, and somehow, it’s ok, when they chare you a meal price for a flight…

I’ve come across this idea before while working but never had a term for it. Great to finally be able to give it a name. It worries me when people suggest it…it makes me wonder: “Wait, doesn’t this kind of stuff piss YOU off as a user though?”

Great article. Thanks!

Dark patterns are a different class of UI design pattern. They are intentionally manipulative. I hope that clears things up.
