Dark Patterns 🌪🕳

In the spirit of being #authentic, just some examples of how I’ve noticed my own behaviors changing 🙃

1. Just one more (infinite) scroll — I can’t tell you how many times I’ve said “Just one more minute!” that turns in to 10 or 20.
2. Social reciprocation — I went to a wedding recently, and the next day I got a friend request from someone I met all of 2 seconds. I know I’ll probably never see them again, but it feels like, well, okay, if you took the time to click that button, it’s the least I can do is accept it??
3. Autoplay hell — Many a time I've been stuck in a YouTube hole.
