A really annoying dark pattern I see over and over:
- start using an app or service
- agree to receive notifications such as “your car is here” or “someone replied to you”
- time passes
- app or service starts abusing notifications to get me to engage via promotions or even plain advertising
Often my easiest recourse there is to turn off the app’s notification privileges.
Abusive, short-sighted, and dumb. You’re never getting that permission back.
