> dark pattern

Just to get the concept a soft introduction, there are people saying we should switch to the term "coercive design."

The reasons for it are fairly obvious, and I'm dubious about the degree to which some prioritize these things. But overall, "coercive design" is actually pretty descriptive, and I figured it's better coming from me than someone who likely consumes a lot of rage-bait and "dunking" fantasies in their free time.
