Platform exclusivity is a dark pattern. Content is what's important, the platform is largely irrelevant to users. I'm perfectly happy paying for media. But if something isn't readily available, I'll probably end up pirating it or never listen to it. |

When I think of dark patterns I think of misleading ways to get a customers information where not applicable. I don't see how it's a dark pattern if I can't watch Game of Thrones on Showtime or Orange is the New Black on Hulu.
Why is retaining rights over content creation a bad thing? Is it a dark pattern to have companies pay for licenses or copyright fees?
