One of the Google cofounders read the book “Nudge” and loved it so hard they invented a process I call “Shove”. You’ll do what we want or we’ll push you into traffic.

This is a prime example of using dark patterns to achieve a short term goal at the cost of creating a world none of us want.

We must all remain vigilant of this trap both as creators and as users.

I applaud you for calling it out. I wish there was something more we could do about it.
