Dark patterns can be insidious. And what's with subscriptions you can easily start online but that make you call customer service to cancel? Seems to me that good customer service (w/a human face) would be service that allows you to cancel. MoneyLion is one example of a sub service that became impossible to cancel. TransUnion used dark patterns to trick consumers into signing up for credit monitoring that they didn't want or need.
