While it is no secret that exploitative practices are interlaced with capitalistic tendencies, the practices are becoming intolerable. Signing up to pay usually takes only two clicks that are prominently visible whereas cancelation options are hidden away in deep settings requiring multiple clicks. Pricing often feel arbitrary with no reference points. Every large company grows with the intention of exhibiting monopolistic behavior. This is not sustainable and should not be tolerated.

      The gas companies. Don’t want to buy gas anymore? Don’t go to the gas station. No contract needed.

        I mean, gas is the original surge pricing commodity, they have had dark patterns in their pricing long before other companies.

          Considering the main oil companies LITERALLY engage in price fixing, openly.
