I fucking hate companies that employ dark patterns. "Click here to sign up". "To cancel you need to send certified mail within 30 business days of the date you want to cancel".

From the post:

>A consumer organization filed a complaint with the European Commission on Thursday against online fast-fashion retailer Shein over its use of "dark patterns," which are tactics designed to make people buy more on its app and website. Pop-ups urging customers not to leave the app or risk losing promotions, countdown timers that create time pressure to complete a purchase and the infinite scroll on its app are among the methods Shein uses that could be considered "aggressive commercial practices," wrote BEUC, a pan-European consumer group, in a report. The BEUC also detailed Shein's use of frequent notifications, with one phone receiving 12 notifications from the app in a single day.
