The most important thing in design is honesty. Between honesty and function we have a newborn child of the Greed - dark patterns. Look around - it's everywhere. Thats why Design is dead. It is not dead as an idea. Idea of design will never die. Engineers don't care about design en masse. Thats why we have products with lack of uniqueness and the argument is that this is good for the user - it reduces cognitive overload. This is argument made by engineers for engineers. Using low quality "decorators" in production creates another argument - there is no designers that can create long term quality. No. We exist. But when you spend your entire life to become the best in your craft you cannot sell expertise for peanuts. :) Some of us are long in this game, an we have real production knowledge. Some of us can code enough to know when engineers are "over their heads" and follow self-serving decision models.

What I'm saying, out of sympathy, is that you should consider a higher perspective. Maybe it's lack of care, just as an example, and maybe it's prejudice with reasons far beyond your control or sheer ignorance and so on. Now your writing gives of the feeling of things being muddled up in your head, not understood to the end, "clouded by emotion!" ;) Gotta snap out of it or you'll spent years malding like many do.

Thank you for your "sympathy". I don't need to "snap out" of any problem.:) I share facts. Dark Patterns and low quality design is everywhere. But don't think for a second that I will not take my money. Too long in the Game to hate the Players. But too long also to "shut up" without any resistance.
