The problem is that they affect people unequally. I do benefit from this stuff because I can navigate the UX struggle but many people can’t and these happen to be the not so fortunate people in society and most vulnerable.

It’s definitely why some stuff is regulated (ie: loan interest)

There is definitely room for budget airlines but the sort of dark patterns Ryanair employs is dishonest.

Personally I wouldn’t do business with someone who is constantly trying to scam me.
